Restless

Once again things have gone quiet...
While my personal life is having a roller coaster of ups and downs: my ambitions are sitting dormant. I've realized that I was taking a break of sorts. There's been a lot of hope on my behalf that my agent would pull something for me while I adjust to the responsibilities of my new roommate as well as the other changes happening around me. I watch as my Jo becomes a woman of the world and chases her happiness, and I realize that somehow I've taken a back seat on my own chase.
It's been a little over a year since I started this path, and I've done a movie, a cable pilot, and a commercial. It's not a bad start! I truely belive that, but it's time for it to progress to the next level. It's time I pull on the few connections I have made, and start making my own path again! I'll move Heaven and Earth to help those I love,and now I just need to learn how to move them for myself!

Goals: Name on the silver screen

First off I would like to say thank you to everyone who came out to support us on Thursday at the premier of Paragon! It was an awesome night, and I felt that it was also a mile stone in my pursuit. Not only did I make it up on that big silver screen, but I got to see my name "Davis Michels" roll through the credits (talk about exhilarating!). Though it wasn't the highest quality film; for a zero budget independent film, it was great!
Second; for those who could not make it there will be a second screening. We're not sure when, but I will keep everyone posted as to when that will be.

First Paying GIG!!!

Filmed a commercial with PlattForm Advertising today for one of their Physical Trainer schools! Yay for paid work XD

In other news: I auditioned for a commercial with Missouri Lotto, fingers crossed.

And as another shameless self promotion, don't forget the premier of Paragon! My first movie. It shows on Thursday August, 26th at the Noland Center in Independence. Tickets are $7, all proceeds go to support local Independent Film. I don't have  a large roll, but I'm in a few scenes with a couple lines! See our Facebook Event Page for more details!

Paragon Movie Premiere!

Finally the Premier of Paragon is coming to a Theater near...Kansas City! Anyone is welcome to come, tickets are $7, and procedes go to support Independent Film making. For more details please visit: Paragon Movie Premiere Facebook Page

Yep...that's how it's done!

Back in the Gym

I've finally made a point to start making it back into the gym! Sad news, I was back up to 160lbs. Good news, just a couple weeks of being good and it is dropping back off (158lbs as of an hour ago)! I've also decided that it is now time to start working on building muscle! The goal is to do this without adding too much weight, and with a little research I think I've developed a workout that will do that. Only time will tell!

As for everything else, I have a meeting tomorrow for the cable pilot to finalize contracts and meet everybody. Also, I did not end up auditioning for "Mercy House Split". The reason is that it does not start filming till November, and here I've been talking about moving out west before that. It may not be set in stone, but I don't need to make excuses to stay.The good part is that I am still involved with the film. I'm helping Scott find locations for all the scenes, so if you get an email asking if I can use your apartment/house, that's why! Just kidding...or am I?

One last note: The premier of Paragon will be sometime late September/ October, as soon as I know I'll invite everyone!

Hello Opportunity

I met with a man today who has offered me a role in a Cable Pilot! The double bonus of this is that it is for a show on how actors are trained. He is going to have 14 actors (being themselves) who will be recorded during this Masters Class! If the pilot does not get picked up, no pay. However, we still get the training! I don't see much of a down side here.

On top of that, I have an Audition for "Mercy House Split", a murder mystery film being done by the same director as "Paragon". Again, no pay, but still experience.

*BTW if you would like to audition for "Mercy House Split", auditions are Sunday the 30th of May at the Plaza Branch Library from 2-6. Email Scott Kessler at CreativeThreatFilms@hotmail.com!
