An Update For Anybody Curious to Know

Stephen Moon — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:37:16 +0000

As is plainly evident, I have not been active in the film community in the last while. This is due to a number of factors coming together at once.

First is that I have a job which works me on Saturday, and while that is not a deal killer, it dampens things a bit.

Secondly (and this was back in about August), I decided that Acting was not the long term career for me. I quit lessons and stopped working on that end of things. And really just dropped off the map (or did that happen earlier in 2009?)

I’ve had times of regret since then, and on and off desires to get back to acting. There’s a chance something could happen with this again. But as most know, acting isn’t something you dabble in and do well at. You gotta pay the piper to get the goods. We’ll see.

Thirdly, I’m going to school. And I’m moving away from Arizona. This is sad, because I’ve gotten to know so many awesome people in the film scene. But, part of me thinks I may be back some day. Again, we’ll see.

I’ll be going to school focusing on creative writing and (I realize this is generic) a degree in film production. So, its a win win (but some loss?)…

Cast in Short – Eleanor Rigby!

Stephen Moon — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:16:13 +0000

I’ll be playing a small part of Young Mr. Mackenzie in the short film Eleanor Rigby. This is being produced for the The Deadly Event hosted/created by D+NA with Brenton Covington and Austin Nordell.

We’ll be filming this weekend. :)

It’s Alive! (Where I’ve Been For A While)

Stephen Moon — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:50:00 +0000

I thought it would be appropriate to update anyone who might be looking at this site as to my recent “vacancy” from activity.

A while ago I had a very low key not-dangerous-at-all incident where I ended up with a bit of a flesh wound. I being a very manly man did not bother cleaning out this little flesh wound. A week rolled by, each day of the week resulting in a more ugly looking wound. I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to seek medical attention. To my surprise (I honestly thought some pills would do the trick) the doctor informed me I would have to stay in the hospital.

So I did that thing for a while. Then I got out. Then I sorta drug my feet in getting everything back into gear. I’m starting to get more into gear here, so hopefully I’ll have more to post soon.

Okay then, bye.

Latest Happenings, Twisted Trucker Tales and Dark Horizon

Stephen Moon — Mon, 11 May 2009 20:23:23 +0000

A large portion of my part in Twisted Trucker Tales has been completed. Hopefully we’ll soon have everything wrapped so that it can be put together and see the public.

Other than that I’ll be ramping up my preparations on the Dark Horizon project. I’m excited for the prospects of this project. It promises to be very strange and touch on a lot of the types of elements I find very intriguing.

Preparing for Twisted Trucker Tales

Stephen Moon — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:41:58 +0000

Preparing for Twisted Trucker Tales Vol I: Demonic Employment Services. This should be fun. I’ll be painted for this project. Makes things difficult to clean up, but its fun. Things should kick off here in the next few weeks (for me personally). The filming for the other sections of the project started a bit ago.

Latest Activity – Lots of Auditions

Stephen Moon — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:59:24 +0000

Just wanted to keep everyone up to date on things. Mainly those things are auditions. In the last two weeks I’ve auditioned for three different projects.

The Messenger – What Frog & Victory Angel Films, LLC
Life in Transit – VerticalBlu Films
The Cure for Love and Death

Then this weekend I’ll be auditioning for “Independent short film” which I do not believe is the “official” name for the film.

Other than that I’m working on gathering what footage I can of my past work in order to create a demo reel.

Cast in Episodic – Dark Horizon!

Stephen Moon — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:13:04 +0000

I’ve been cast in Dark Horizon! This is a Time Lake Films project. Marco Wagner, who wrote the script, will be directing.

Principle photography is not expected until later (Q3?) in 2009. I’ll keep you updated.

Cast in Feature – Twisted Trucker Tales!

Stephen Moon — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 19:20:30 +0000

I’ve been cast in Twisted Trucker Tales as James (one of the leads)!

This is exciting. You may remember my first feature job in Twisted Trucker Tales: Vol II. Twisted Trucker Tales is a part of this series of films.

We are expected to start filming near the end of February 2009.

I Have Returned From L.A.

Stephen Moon — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:05:56 +0000

I’ve returned from my trip to L.A.. I must say, it was quite the interesting trip.

Unfortunately I was not able to visit the school I hope to attend. But I was able to get a feel for the city, and I enjoyed my time there. Perhaps next trip I’ll be able to drop in on the school. We’ll see.

I am Headed to L.A.

Stephen Moon — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 06:40:12 +0000

I will be driving to Los Angeles, California tomorrow. My purpose is to get a feel for the city. Test the waters so to speak. This is of course regarding my acting. Most actors think of moving to L.A., and more and more its becoming unnecessary in order to succeed in film.

But there is a specific school I’d like to attend in L.A., I hope to visit while I’m there.

In addition, I want to know if I’d even be able to tolerate living there. Because if it makes me miserable to live there, whats the point?

I’ll be there this weekend, returning on Sunday.
