This is a living collection of film recommendations and craft discussions built from my courses at Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts and the William Esper Studio.

It's not a blog in the traditional sense.
Less "new posts every week," more a library I keep returning to and refining.

The name comes from a concept I come back to constantly in my teaching: the idea that the most powerful thing an actor can do on camera is get out of their own way.

Do less. Don’t think. Trust the camera sees you living in the moment.

If you're one of my students, you already have the password. If you're not and you're curious about the work — reach out.
