Reed Arnold | Season 02 Episode 04

Reed Arnold | Season 02 Episode 04

Reed Arnold is an Oklahoma writer-actor-director in the middle of a successful festival run with his new film, “Do Us Part,” a wedding comedy. Like Reed himself, the film made an unlikely progression from LA to NYC and from stage to screen. “Do us Part,” was written in LA as a play, put through the wringer in NYC’s Naked Angels live reads, then reworked into a screenplay to become a film short and most recently, a feature film. How do you reevaluate and reinvent something that you think is perfect in it’s original form? After a successful stage production, Reed tells us he did not want to change a thing until he brought the work to Naked Angels, where it started to take another shape for him. That moment of reinvention was the turning point for the work and the writer. Reed and PJ trade stories and discuss the importance of self critique as well as peer and audience feedback in developing a work and a career.

Charles Elmore | Season 02 Episode 02

Charles Elmore began his career young, working on television production for mega churches. That was just the beginning. Using a combo attack (what was that sequence again? Up, Down…?), of dues paying, being at the right place at the right time, and trusting a nucleus of local collaborators discovered along the way, he made a path for himself. The convo takes some fun detours along the way to covering his journey to working as a camera operator on one of the hottest tv shows around, The Lowdown, as well as his work on Minari, The Puppet Master Franchise and Reservation Dogs.
