9
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: time of the year, that's always some interesting stuff. But

10
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: today we're gonna be talking about some comedy. UH. As

11
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: many of you might remember, a couple of months ago,

12
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: we UH wrote a story about a bunch of veterans

13
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: UH who go by the wold adage laughter is the

14
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: best medicine and UH vets TV is probably not everybody's

15
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: cup of tea, but for those of you who have

16
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: actually been in the military and you know the kind

17
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: of dark humor, sometimes that impertinent kind of humor house

18
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: only military people can poke fun at themselves, and they

19
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: usually do a very good job of it, and vet

20
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: TV is one of the best UM I think one

21
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: of the best examples of that out there. Um. We

22
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: talked about that TV a couple of months ago. As

23
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned that it's it was the branchild of a

24
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: former Marine captain and he's a woman who world himself,

25
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Dario Mallley. He spent six years as Infantry officer rifles

26
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: commander before he you know, he finished his career with

27
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: the Wounded Warrior of Italian and as O'Malley wrote upon himself,

28
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: he was medically retired due to the weak bone structure

29
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: and chronics stand in his lady parts. So with that,

30
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring our guests on because the TV as

31
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,880

40
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to the acting, genre and directing. Most

41
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: people take a kind of direct approach like all the

42
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: other guys on TV. You took the long approach. You

43
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: you actually drew military first. You spent I believe it

44
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: was ten years in the Marines, and um, so tell

45
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: us a little bit about growing up. I believe you

46
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: were born in Cleveland, right, Yeah, yeah, it was Cleveland,

47
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,240

48
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: I was raised near Akron though, so yeah, yeah, growing

49
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: up I had relatives in Cleveland. We used to go

50
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: out there all the time. So I know that the

51
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: area a little bit. I'm not gonna say I know

52
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: well because it's been quite a few years, but that's

53
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: a it's a tough place. It's it's it's made for

54
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: tough people out there. So what presents you to join

55

Speaker 1: some of it um had to do with some of

57
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: my close friends that I had growing up. Um, their

58
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: names were Vonna Marashan, and they wanted to join the military.

59
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, I'll do it.

60
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: I'll do it too. But I we we, we we

61
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,479

106
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,280

107
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the most fun was with Spain. Uh that was that

108
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,360

00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: out here in well, she got orders out here after

112
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: she became a career planner, and I at that point

113
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: in time, I had spent seven a half years on June,

114
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: so you know, it was definitely time for a different place.

115
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I got set out here after we got

116
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: our orders and I went to Esson Range. You go

117
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: teach recruits table too, combat marktion ship didn't, I imagine.

118
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I remember my time going through you know, boot and

119
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: the guys who taught marksman should at least in the

120
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: army hated their job because they they had so many

121
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: knuckleheads coming through. I mean, and some of the guys

122
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I went to a boot camp which should have never

123
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: been allowed to hold a rifle at all, minds, you know,

124
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, uh you know, um um, you know, live

125
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: round stopped ringing, and some of those guys who were

126
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: just awful, you know, and uh, I remember these the

127
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: guys who ran the ranges that and that that time,

128
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: you know they are betting stressed up. M hm yeah.

129
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: So so what what possessed you to decide that, you know, acting,

130
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: because that's a big career change going, you know, from

131
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: being a marine to a director. It was it's something

132
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: that was always seen your mind or did this something this? Yeah,

133
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: so you're right, it is. It is a huge careering,

134
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: um especially you know, nine years, ten years in the

135
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Marine Corps. You know, I was and I was good

136
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: at that, so it was a very it was a

137
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: hard decision to uh to to make to get out

138
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: and just pursue something completely different. But um, I mean

139
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: I've always liked making people laugh, so that that kind

140
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: of started out. I used social media platforms to make

141
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: that happen, and Vine was the first thing that I used.

142
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Is six like really short six second clips, you know,

143
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: and I would come up with like these different kits

144
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: to do, and the challenge was doing something that was

145
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna make someone laugh you know hard within you know,

146
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: six seconds. Uh So it started out there and then

147
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, my friends told me that I had an

148
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: act for it, and you know, I was larious and

149
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: what if you just take this to a different level. Man,

150
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: how about you become a filmmaker. Now this this was

151
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: back in I would say when my friend, my friends,

152
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: the one that planted that idea in my head has

153
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: become a filmmaker because I mean, I love doing that.

154
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: Just shoot on my on my phone and edit on

155
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: my phone. And uh, I had to teach myself a

156
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: few things. But then, you know, after he brought that up,

157
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: or after he mentioned it, I was like, nah, there's

158
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: no way I could never be a filmmaker. I can

159
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: never be, I can never act, I can never do that.

160
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: This is just for fun, you know. Uh. And it

161
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: was a it was a hobby, that's what it was.

162
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: And then as the you know, as time passed, I

163
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: continued to do, uh, to make these videos. Vine went away.

164
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: So then I moved to Instagram, then I moved to YouTube,

165
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: and I just continue to you know, make these things

166
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: with some friends that that didn't mind acting the fool

167
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: in front of the camera. Then you know, I never

168
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: forgot what he said, and then um, I made a

169
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: decision two really pursue filmmaking, probably two three, two and

170
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: a half, two and a half years before I got out,

171
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: And so that pretty much that first year, I spent studying.

172
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I did. I just spent uh

173
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: my time studying and learning and uh. Then that second

174
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: year I set out to actually make films. I made

175
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: my huh start making my own short films and whatnot. Uh.

176
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: During that point in time, I had I was actually

177
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,479
Speaker 1: in Okinawa and I had I came across Betteran Television

178
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: and I was looking at all their content and I

179
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I could do that, And

180
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: that's what I told myself. I'm like, I could do that.

181
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: I could How often would it be to be to

182
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: work with these guys like they that the dark comedy

183
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: is something that I'm like, I love and so I, um,

184
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: I just reached out to Daniel Manley. I sent him

185
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: a DM like, all right, there's no way, there's no

186
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: way he's going to even see this or even respond,

187
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, And he did. He did. He looked through

188
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: all my content. He told me that I had a

189
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: lot of potential. There's a lot of talent there. I'd

190
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: just stood comedy. We could we always are looking for

191
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: writers and you know everything else. Um. The thing is,

192
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I know Donnie tells uh a lot of people this

193
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: especially if they're interested in filmmaking. And uh, the difference

194
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: between myself and most of these other people that he

195
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: talks to, I'm sure is the fact that, uh, I

196
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: stayed consistent with it. So he told me everything I

197
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: needed to work on, what I need to study, who

198
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I needed to watch, and all this other stuff. And

199
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: I did that. I just kept going, kept going, and

200
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: I would, you know, touch base with him. Hey, Donnie,

201
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: I did this, this and this, I learned this like now,

202
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: and you know I'm starting on this now, what do

203
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: you think about this? Just picking at his brain, picking

204
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: at his brain, um, every step of the way. And

205
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: then once um, once I felt as definitely, you know,

206
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: I learn as much as I could because I was

207
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: just teaching myself YouTube videos, just googling things and whatnot.

208
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: And then I was like, Okay, well I gotta go

209
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: out and do this. So you're not gonna really learn

210
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: until you until you do, especially in filmmaking. So I mean,

211
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: you want to be a filmmaker, you gotta go out

212
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: and make films. So uh, then I started making short films. Um.

213
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: After each one I make, I bring it back to

214
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Donnie and whoever else over at bet TV and I

215
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: had to look it over, give me some good constructive criticism,

216
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, giving me good notes about what I need

217
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: to change work on the Okay. Then I set out

218
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: to make another one, and I made seven short films.

219
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: I made seven of them, one of which I actually

220
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: entered into some film festivals. It's getting a lot of

221
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: recognition and so that's pretty cool. Um. And then at

222
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: that point, at that point in time, after I made

223
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: all my short films, you know, I uh, I was

224
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: getting on the Marine Corps at that time. And then

225
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, I had already established this relationship with Donnie

226
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of other people have bet TV, and

227
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: Donnie had been talking and saying saying many good things

228
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: about me and whatnot, and you know, I just you know,

229
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: I got I got the job. He hit me up.

230
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, listen, we're gonna contract you out and

231
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: we want you to, um, we want you to start

232
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: writing a series called Meanwhile on the Field and it's

233
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna be uh, you know, just all the hilarious moments

234
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: and funny things that happened while Yeah, you're saying that

235
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: I saw the teaser trailer for that, and I mean again,

236
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this dark humor. It's all

237
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: absolutely riveted in truth because just from the trailer that

238
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: I saw, we all remember seeing crazy stuff like that, right,

239
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: my my. I mean that's exactly that's what makes it

240
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I think. So yeah, yeah, there's there's so many I have,

241
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's so many, so many stories. Yuh, it's

242
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: been a lot of my time out on the field,

243
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, in the infastry so um and then anyone

244
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: else like so, I mean the series is is army

245
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: and you know our army infatry. But honestly, we've ever

246
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: been to the field. You can you can relate Oh yeah,

247
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Johnny place that you're I guess since you d so,

248
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm thinking back to the trailer and

249
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,239
Speaker 1: I cracked up. You you know, oh airborne fucking airborne

250
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: or so it's like, yeah, I mean, how many NCOs

251
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: have we met that exactly that way? And uh, I

252
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: mean it was it was really good. But going back

253
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: to what you were just talking about, Um, so you're

254
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: basically you taught yourself film backing. You didn't go to

255
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: school for that? No, yeah, I didn't. I did not

256
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: go to school for it. And you know a lot

257
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: of my research that I that I had seen is

258
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people question whether or not film school

259
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: is worth it, and now I do think it's worth it.

260
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: Um but and I will go. I will more than

261
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: likely go eventually. But I mean I've had some friends

262
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: that were going through film school as they saw me

263
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: working with that TV And one of the funniest things, Uh,

264
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: someone said to me. One of my friends was like,

265
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm sitting in the class right now

266
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: learning lighting. And she looked at one of my post

267
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: on Instagram. She's like, you're sitting there doing it in

268
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: real life, you know, so so um yeah, because it's

269
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: like you, I don't know you, it's got to go

270
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: out and do it. That's I mean, the replication. They're

271
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: a wonderful thing that there's no substitute for, you know, experience,

272
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: and it's just like the military. I mean, we can

273
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: train and train and train, but until you actually bought

274
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: and do your job, you know, Uh, that's when you

275
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: actually started learning how to do it right exactly. Yes,

276
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: but you're one of your sure films that you made.

277
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: I watched it last night and I watched them again

278
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: in this morning, Blind Day. It was another one. I

279
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: mean that that was really good because we've all been there, right,

280
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean we've all been there. You try to set

281
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: up your friend with somebody and then they just panic

282
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: and I mean should completely show their ass am. I right,

283
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: ruin everything that wasn't really good and your your two

284
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: co stars were excellent and that as well, Yeah they were,

285
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: they were. I really like that one. Now had you

286
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: work with those folks before these friends of yours or no? No?

287
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: So that was that was a whole Another thing too,

288
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: is so um um. The only person that I worked

289
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: with consistently over and over again was uh the the

290
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: director of photography, UM the best. So you know I

291
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: would tell him I would come to him with the

292
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: three different Uh well, I just I would just come

293
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: to him with scripts and then you know, he telled me.

294
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: He would guide me, uh tell me like how I

295
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: needed to go about and looking for um actors and

296
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 1: actresses and and anything else to shoot locations and wardrobe

297
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. And um, you know, doing

298
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: it on your own, and it forced you to really

299
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: learn every aspect of filmmaking. So um I used I

300
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: always cast it from San Diego, and I just used uh,

301
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I used uh facebook pages, face Facebook groups, and I

302
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: would put out a casting call like, hey, guys, you

303
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: know doing this, this and this is what it's about.

304
00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: If you're interested, email me head shots, resumes and uh

305
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: reels if you have them, you know, and then I

306
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: would you know, I had to sit there and then

307
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: you play the role as a casting director. Now. So

308
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: now I'm like looking through all these emails that I

309
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: got and seeing who wants to do what. A lot

310
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: of people in San Diego are just looking for um

311
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: to build their to build the skill up. L A

312
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: is a little different. L is a little different. I

313
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: feel like everyone out in l A thinks that I

314
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: think that they've made it. But the community, the acting

315
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: community out here and uh you know in San Diego

316
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: is a little different though. They just they you know,

317
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: they're more than happy just to work for credits, you

318
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean, just get the experience. Yeah. Now,

319
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: the people that work at that TV, I know, the

320
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: actors are a role veterans of all the different services

321
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: on the people behind the cameras, are they a lot

322
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: of veterans as well or those just uh young pilmmakers?

324
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans that at that TV. Not everyone

325
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: is though, um, but uh majority, Yeah. I think that's

326
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: awesome for veterans who are are looking to get into that,

327
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: you know, realm. That's a great place for them to

328
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: look to. I mean because a lot of it again,

329
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: watching some of the the clips from VET TV and

330
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, you're your trailer for the upcoming Meanwhile on

331
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: the field, you know a lot of it it's not

332
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: really acting because it's stuff we've all acted out in

333
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: real life. I think, M yeah, definitely. So you know,

334
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite, Uh, we've quite a few

335
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: short films. Do you have a favorite one of that

336
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: I made? M Yeah, I would. I would have to

337
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: say Social Ootcast. That's the so so whenever I first

338
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: set out to make a short, make my short feel like,

339
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: I had this story in mine and uh, like I said,

340
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: it's called Social Outcast and I started writing it and

341
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: it was so long, you know, I didn't know what

342
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: I was doing. That was my first script that I

343
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: was writing and everything, and then uh, this one, I

344
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: told myself, Well, I eventually found out that this one.

345
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is uh this this is

346
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: more of a passion project and I need to I

347
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: need to start with something much smaller, you know, because

348
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: I was looking at the at the the number of

349
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: pages that I had, which I ended up having to

350
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: trim down anyways, but it was like fifty pages already,

351
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, I can't. I can't set out to

352
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: make a feelm like this. I don't know what I'm doing.

353
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: So you know, I started out with something, you know,

354
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: much smaller, and then I made each film a little

355
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: bit more complicated as I went, and then by the

356
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: time uh, I felt good enough to write Social Outcast,

357
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: I was probably probably that was a while later, a

358
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: long time, like it's like a year since I first

359
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: since I first wrote it, and I rewrote the script

360
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: several different times while I was still making, uh making

361
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: these other short films and teaching myself and learning and whatnot.

362
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: So yeah, I got to a point where I was

363
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: comfortable enough to film my passion project. And then that's

364
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: the one. I'm like, okay, cool, this is gonna be

365
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: done at the beginning of January. And I'm not gonna

366
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: make a short film all of I mean all of

367
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make another short film. I'm just gonna

368
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: enter this one into the film festivals and that's what

369
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: and that's what I've been doing. And like I said,

370
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: it's been getting a lot of recognition, and as I

371
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad it is because you know, it took a

372
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of efforts to put that one together.

373
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: That's great and uh you know so mean meanwhile on

374
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: the field, that that skinny I mean plea uh so

375
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,879

377
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: timber Knight. I can't wait to watch that one. Because

378
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: but as I said, and I encourage to all our

379
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: listeners out there, uh, if you haven't done it yet,

380
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: check out that TV um. You know, for all of

381
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: us who have been there, I mean, because it's all

382
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: it's all based in fact. I mean yeah, you sometimes

383
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: say the guys, you know, you play it a little

384
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: bit over the top, but we've all seen that stuff.

385
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes the military so compelling

386
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: to people, because we have a very serious job. As

387
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: everyone knows. Anyone who's been there to know if the

388
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: serious business we're in. But there's times, and there's a

389
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: lot of times even in times of you know, you're

390
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: out in a combat situation, some crazy shit happens, and

391
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean we all have to admit, right,

392
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: the military has some compelling characters in there. Yes, indeed,

393
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: so it's really hard. You know a lot of those

394
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: guys are not working at that TV. Yeah, yeah, and

395
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: in and uh you know, with that TV and recreating

396
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: these stories from you know, the audience and what because

397
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: they all there's so many crazy things that happens, like

398
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: you said, in the military, and there's many different characters

399
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And is we just take that and run

400
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, everyone really about you know, yeah, well,

401
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: and that's what's that's what's so good about it is

402
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: because you know, for those of us have been an

403
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna resonate because we've all seen exactly you know,

404
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: this type of situation. And I think that there's going back.

405
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'll go back to the days

406
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: in my book camp. I think all good military instructors

407
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: have a little bit of comedian in them because they

408
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: can tell you you're the lowest form of life on earth,

409
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: and they'll make it to where you're trying not to

410
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: crack up laughing. And I remember that because I had

411
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: a hard ass troll Sartin. I used to say, I

412
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: thought it was Richard Pryce's cousin because he would call

413
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: me every name in the book and and I'd be

414
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: biting my lip trying not to laugh, and uh, you know,

415
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: because I mean he was hilarious and I'm one of

416
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: my good friends at the time. It was a country

417
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: kid Carolina. He could never stop from laughing, and you

418
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: know what happens when you laugh and then you pay

419
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: the price. So but I always I always remember him

420
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: and the funny thing. Years later, I think it was

421
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: maybe ten years later, I ran into my old crill

422
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: Sartin and uh, and I started talking to him and

423
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: he remember being the kids that could never stop laughing,

424
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, that was a kid with

425
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: the howdy duty fashion could never stop laughing. I remember that,

426
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: and I see and uh, and it goes you know

427
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: how hard it was for me to keep straight faced

428
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: looking at you. kN Uh. Yeah, I love that. Yeah,

429
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: well that's that's awesome. So yeah, anyway, enough about me,

430
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: So what's next on it for you? You just finished

431
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: this project that you have something on online now calling

432
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: up that you planning on? Yeah, yeah, I do. I'm

433
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually so, you know, this whole COVID nineteen

434
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: thing is uh is really just been difficult for a

435
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: lot of people. I mean, has that has that impacted

436
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: your guys and you're filming. Uh no, no it hasn't.

437
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: We we can't. So that's what I was gonna go into,

438
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: is that we can't. You know, we're not doing our

439
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: larger productions, uh, like the one stay a Grunt's Life,

440
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, recruiters, um, these other larger productions. We had

441
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: to postpone you know, and and and push to the right,

442
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: but we still had to you know, we want to

443
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: release content to the to our audience every week still,

444
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: so you know what we did was, um, I mean

445
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: we're pretty much self sustaining. We use our in house actors.

446
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: We have writers, directors, actors, you know, director of photography,

447
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: we have editors, you know, producers, all that stuff. So

448
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: we basically what we have to do now and what

449
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: and that's what Memhi on the Field was, you know, uh,

450
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: same thing with and maybe Drone Boys, I don't know,

451
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but just smaller productions, you know, skeleton crew.

452
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: We don't want very many people on set. Uh, they

453
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: don't have to be things like that. So but with

454
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: with how you know, COVID hasn't impacted us in that way,

455
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: with us not being able to do our larger shows,

456
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: we got people you our audience is asking us like

457
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: when a Grunts Life Season two is you know coming out,

458
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: because uh, you know they love that. That's my favorite,

459
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: you know. So you know the Meanwhile on the Barracks

460
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: fild military what was that film on? No? I don't,

461
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe it was because it looks

462
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: like one I actually know, uh, season two of Meanwhile

463
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: the Barracks was actually filming at our office. Really, yeah,

464
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: you know the way they have set up and I

465
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: mean it actually looks like a military installation. Now that's awesome.

466
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: It's awesome. But so basically, um, what um Donnie wanted

467
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: me working on next is giving the audience something uh

468
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: for you know, A Grunts Life. So what I'm gonna

469
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: do is I'm by writing these uh you know micro

470
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: content uh sketches that are dealing with Lieutenant Murphy in

471
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: his platoon before the deployment that they're getting ready to

472
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: go on and that we will see them on in

473
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: season two. So that's that's awesome. So, you know, when

474
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: it comes to the creative process, see you guys right

475
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: separately or do you guys right together? Uh? We do

476
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: right together. Uh. We usually have a there's the head

477
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: writer and then the secondary writer, and there could be

478
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: a third as well, but you know, the head writer

479
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: is the one that's actually doing the writing and whatnot,

480
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: and then we bring on uh consultants and whatnot. So

481
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: for meanwhile, in the in the field, you know, I'm

482
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: Marine Corps Infantry. You know, I'd imagine the Army infantries

483
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: culture isn't too much you know, different than ours. But um,

484
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about the eighty sewod everyone, and

485
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about the hundred and first rocket songs.

486
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: So uh, I had to talk to people, you know,

487
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: and put it up. We made we created Army Infantry

488
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: bat TV facebook group, a whole bunch of people in there.

489
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: And then, um, you know, as I'm pulling information from

490
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: the audience from them, um, I found the ones that

491
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: were really giving me the most feedback, and then I

492
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: would bring them on as a consultant. I'm like, okay, cool,

493
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: this right here, these are the stories that I have

494
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: in mind. This is what I want to do? What

495
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: you got would you guys say this? Or how would

496
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: your platoon commander act in this situation? Or how a

497
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: would the squalitaer or what are your what are your

498
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: junior you know, enlisted, like you know what I mean?

499
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Uhh yeah, And again I don't think it's that bigger difference.

500
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, some of the jargon might be a little

501
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: different between the core and the Army when it comes

502
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: to the infantry guys, but that's about it. Grounds are

503
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: the same. And then when when it comes to them

504
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: to that doc humor, I mean there's you know, you

505
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: have to have a thick skin, you do, I mean

506
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: because they I mean, if somebody messes up, you know

507
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna hit that person is gonna here for a

508
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: very long time until somebody else messes up. And even

509
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: still they look out like that. Yeah. Yeah. And it's

510
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: like like I was in Special Forces and let we

511
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: were onto the internal Regret. They made me an officer,

512
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: so you know, my guys were always harp on me.

513
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, rank I had no privilege in

514
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: that SF. So you know guys would oh you know

515
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: on your heart it is just everyone else. So you

516
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: just had had to learn how to deal with it

517
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: and uh, and then you just did on everyone when

518
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: it's their turn. That's the way it works. But now

519
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: this is great. And I to our listeners out there, UH,
