Over this past weekend, I had the immense pleasure of serving as a judge for the Irene Ryan Semi-Finalist round at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival hosted by Central Connecticut State University.
It was such an incredible experience watching 32 talented students from Region 1 (New England) present us with their monologues and scenes. With the amazing talent in the room, it was certainly a tall order whittling down the group to 16 students who moved on to the final round.
I also had the pleasure of leading a seminar, with my producing and writing partner Cooper Gordon, on making your own work and how to get started producing short films. Overall, the entire weekend was such a special experience, and I cannot wait to return next year to judge the competition again.
