The Team
Be Undeniable
How do you become a successful actor in San Antonio? Nobody has the right answer. Being undeniable is a good start.
RECIt’s not what a casting director tells you, or the classes being promoted by people who haven’t worked since the ’80s.
Be so good they lose money by not casting you.
That’s what matters more. It’s not networking, and it’s not inviting everyone to your short film premiere. Just be great.
You can check out my IMDb, but it doesn’t matter. To name a few of my credits over the past five years: I’ve filmed with the Dallas Cowboys, Helicopters for Heroes, and championship bull rider Josh Frost, and I toured the country documenting comedian Steve Trevino as he prepped for his first Netflix special. I was also one of the camera operators for the special, and directed 11 episodes of his unscripted series. None of it matters.
20+ years in the industry
With 20+ years in the industry and training from Hollywood’s best, I know what works, and I certainly know what doesn’t. Be great. That’s literally all that matters. Everything else is stupid.
I’ve produced for Oscar nominees, acted alongside Emmy winners, and worked with a number of amazing, talented creatives. It means nothing. You can too.
Taking classes or learning from people with “credits” isn’t going to make you better. It’s just presented that way. It’s mostly nonsense. Nobody can teach you how to act. I’m not here to do that either. I’m here to help bring out the realness of your performance.
Where I started
I started my career as a staff writer for a few shows slated for Comedy Central, starring Chris Judd, Wayne Brady and comedian Gabriel Iglesias. I produced films for Sally Kirkland, Richard Portnow and Robert Costanzo. I’ve filmed, and acted alongside, Emmy-nominated actors.
From there, I opened a studio because I wanted to focus on YouTube. Hundreds of castings and productions used my studio, from HBO to the guys from Blue Mountain State. One of my staff teachers at the studio was actor Robert Romanus, and I got to shoot a few videos with him. He’s awesome. Most of the instructors and my production team had Emmys.
I was the first business in Los Angeles that gave actors the opportunity to produce for themselves, and everyone said it was dumb. Well, look at all of us now! Those that didn’t keep up, lost. Self-producing content is everything. Whether you’re a personal brand, a performer or a business, you need authentic content.
Now in San Antonio
I directed commercials for Indian Motorcycle with Eric Roberts, and for Ford, and I currently produce content for local businesses in and around San Antonio, Austin and Houston. I’m stoked to create here in San Antonio, Texas.
The reason I’m able to keep working as a filmmaker is purely hustle. That’s it. I will out-hustle anyone. I’ve been lucky enough to play with a camera while being paid for over 20 years.
