Citizen Kane Annotated Shooting Script
The shooting script with my margin notes. Every camera angle, every lighting note, every argument with Herman Mankiewicz documented in red ink. This is the most studied film in cinema. This is its blueprint. Read it with the film paused beside you.
Kung Fu Comedy Workshop -- Fighting and Falling with Style
I'll teach you to take a hit, sell a fall, and make the audience laugh while you're in pain. We use chairs, ladders, and tables as props -- everything in the room is a weapon and a punchline. Tip: Always show the whole body. Wide shots let the audience see the skill. Close-ups are for actors who can't fight.
Crash Mats & Safety Pads (Full Stunt Kit)
Eight crash mats in various sizes, knee pads, elbow pads, and a body harness. This is the safety equipment my stunt team uses for medium-height falls and wall work. Tip: Never do a stunt for the first time on camera. Rehearse until the fear becomes respect.
Prop Weapons Collection (Breakaway Chairs, Rubber Bottles, Foam Pipes)
Sugar glass bottles, balsa wood chairs, foam pipes, rubber bricks -- everything you need for a prop fight scene. I've used more chairs as weapons than any actor in history. They break beautifully on camera and barely sting in person. Barely.
Minimalist Film Directing Workshop -- Two Takes and Print
I direct fast and quiet. No yelling, no ego, no fiftieth take. We shoot a short scene with available light, two cameras, and maximum two takes per setup. Tip: Trust your actors. Hire good people and get out of their way. The director's job is to create an environment where the truth can happen.
Jazz Piano Session -- Improvisation and Film Scoring
I've composed scores for many of my own films. Jazz is conversation -- you listen, you respond, you leave space. We work on basic piano improvisation over blues and jazz standards. No sheet music. Tip: The notes you DON'T play are just as important as the ones you do. Same in acting. Same in life.
Scene Improvisation Workshop -- Finding Truth Without a Script
The 'You talkin' to me?' scene wasn't written. It was felt. I teach you to prepare so thoroughly that when the script disappears, you're still the character. We set up scenarios and go. No safety net. The best moments in film happen when the actor surprises themselves.
Escape & Evasion Tactics -- Guerrilla Warfare Seminar
Half-day seminar on guerrilla tactics. How 70 escaped slaves outran and outfought professional legions. Route selection, foraging, decoy camps, fighting withdrawal. Tip: Speed is armor. If they cannot find you, they cannot kill you.
Intensity Workshop -- The Quiet Before the Explosion
Michael Corleone is quiet for two hours before he pulls the trigger. Tony Montana never stops burning. I teach both -- controlled intensity and unleashed fire. We work on building emotional pressure in a scene until the release is inevitable. Tip: The explosion means nothing without the silence that precedes it.
Shakespeare for Screen Actors -- Making the Bard Breathe
I directed and starred in Looking for Richard because Shakespeare terrified me -- and the only way past fear is through it. We work on verse-speaking, iambic pentameter as BREATH not math, and finding the modern man inside the Elizabethan language. Richard III is our text. Bring your courage.
Monologue Coaching -- One Voice, Full Room
Audition monologue, film monologue, stage monologue -- each needs different calibration. I'll coach your piece line by line. We work on breath, beats, subtext, and the moment you stop performing and start LIVING the text. Tip: The best monologue sounds like a conversation with someone who isn't there.
Book of Five Rings Study Group -- Strategy & Philosophy
Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void. Five books, each covering a different aspect of combat and life. We read, discuss, and practice. The Earth book is foundation. Water is adaptability. Fire is initiative. Wind is understanding others. Void is the state beyond technique. Most people never reach Void.
