That is one sexy man, and Topher Grace is pretty too!

It cooled down into the low triple digits and the theatre was filled with eager minds wanting to create a performance in a film.

They looked to me to guide them. Ideas and content was being generated. Shooting images, dialogue and audio was being burned through quickly. We were hot and sweaty.

It's fun having someone famous and very talented stop by and inspire the students! I hope more are willing to offer their time.

A girl called me the "Grunge Alternative James Lipton" and everyone laughed. They laughed way too long. I'm cutting the number of her close-ups out of the film!

The students need to know who's the Boss!

So many of the people showing up for my Workshop are way more experienced than I am. Big movies! Big TV Shows! Big Money! Big Breasts! I feel so humbled that they believe what I'm doing is important and worth the time.

An old friend who has directed several movies dropped by without calling ahead of time, I believe he was trying to catch me off guard. He heard about the Workshop from another friend. We sat in the parking lot and watched the sun go down. He asked to take the Workshop.

I told him, "Let me do some Workshops for a while before you come in, because I'd be scared you'd make fun of me."

I really believe he would, too!

About Ten years ago we were at Boardner's in Hollywood drinking. Me Cosmos, him something harder. He was very drunk and tearing into me about my love of Stanley Kubrick. He picked apart Kubrick's films.

Like I'm going to have a guy that thinks this way smirking at me from the back row of my class! That's asking for trouble even if he isn't drunk. He'll read this now and will he feel bad? No. He'll pick up the argument where he left off.

Not that I want everyone to shut up and agree with me and do what I say...

Wait, Yes I do!
