less than masterful."

JASON ALAN SMITH

WHAT DO YOU WANT
We all want to work. Of course. But before you can get the job, you have to be able to do the job.
To serve the story. Truthfully. Selflessly. Wholeheartedly. That can be tough when we’re asked to play under the pressures of "the business," often with very little time to prepare. Our fears often force us to protect ourselves and simply act ideas of the story, not have a truly human experience.
We need a practice and mentality that allows us to create and play with true artistry – quickly, deeply, consistently, and vulnerably.
