After 21 days of filming in the beautiful Dunkirk, NY on the shoreline of Lake Erie, the feature film Lighthouse Unmanned goes into post production. It's been a pleasure getting to know and collaborate with such a talented, motivated, and generous cast and crew. As things slow down ever so slightly in leu of the Holiday Seasons, I'm finding myself both thankful for the opportunities that have allowed me to travel these past four months and the experiences they've provided to both re-connect with old friends, connect with new ones, and to work in the craft I am fortunate enough to call my profession. I'll be continuing on my re-writes for the feature I'm writing (set to begin filming in Summer/Fall of 2017), but in the meantime, I'm already on the hunt for the next collaboration that gives me cause to travel and opportunity to grow as an actor.

<p> I started my life as an Extra. I studied ancient arts in culture and studied civilisations of lifestyle and how movement of dance helps the art or performance in general. I spent countless  hrs  of studying dance and movement, the fundamental basic to acting. A performer has to appear natural  to his craft. As well on screen which gives screen presence and a natural  gift not only for acting, but to learn the movement of ballet , tribal dance and soul. The African people have rhythm and often natural warm people, who have a heart of Gold, to learn their culture and other cultures, is a learning stick, the Chinese theatre is where martial arts legend Bruce lee started his training, his movement is refined, and the actor has to be refined when approaching scripts as well at auditions,a performer has to learn to be well mannered of his craft. and nurture it like the ancient Chinese. Monks.and be genuinely honest when  auditing for a role </p>

<p> As an actor it's probably a good idea to have a firm grasp of cinematography. Basically, the audience will be viewing you and your performance through the camera, you need to know how it works so that you can work for it. </p> <p> Without annoying the DP and cameraperson, try and observe at least what lens they're about to use on you...</p> <p> To get you started, here is a link to a tutorial, which is free to watch, about Cinematic shooting principles using a long lens. </p> <p> http://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/cinematic-shooting-principles-using-a-long-lens--cms-57</p> <p> This tutorial features footage from a feature film, but also... it features myself! :)</p> <p> Learn and enjoy. </p> <p> Peace, </p> <p> MK</p>

<p> <strong>2 January 2014, 8:26:21</strong></p> <p> <strong>My Top 50 Films Of All Times.</strong></p> <p> <strong>Publication Author: Farruh Yusupov.</strong></p> <p> Creating the list of the best films of all times by my version i was lead by several principles. Regardless of film genre, awards, timing and budget and actors cast i paid attention to social value for people and in general for humankind; normal human morality which is characterized to human nature, garbage is differ than art; artistic which differs art from an usual and not valuable thing and others.</p> <p> There are films from many countries with many film genres and different time. I didn`t differentiate biopics, buddy and road movies, especially due of its variety of narration and film leading but not genre. For instance film noire is type of the not genre but film with visual effects with black and white colors or captured at night. Film can be designing with blue, black or white and other color despite any type of genre and plot.</p> <p> There`s a lot of american films due of its most development in the world, in any components of filmmaking among which screenwriting which is text of the film; acting which makes differ films from actual videos; film directing, shooting and editing and visual, audible and graphic designing.</p> <p>     My most favorite film is impressionistic comedy “Forrest Gump” that follows one the most main duties of cinematograph - entertainment. I used the term “Impressionism” relating to drawing due of Forrest`s impression of the world and fantasticality but some of which can be implemented. “Forrest Gump” not only entertains but educates human to reach big results without extraordinary abilities. There`s lot of film with a big quantity of visual effects like videoart but many of them doesn`t have good plot.</p> <p>   Many films among which are “Straight Story” with main theme oldness and kinship), criminal “12”  with main theme addiction, “Inside I`m Dancing” with main theme disability, “Man Of Honor”  with main theme human inspiration (motivation), “The Boy In The Striped Pijama” with main theme fascism, “Hotel Rwanda” with main theme genocide, “Amistad” with main theme slavery, “A Beautiful Mind” with main theme problems of geniuses, “Stop-Loss” with main theme governmental crimes, “The Black Hawk Down” and “Охота На Единорога” with main theme war, “21 Gramm” with main theme man`s changing and man`s oppressing and “Dancing In The Dark” alarms, identifies social problems and issues not of the modern society (people) but of all humankind which was from the beginning and will be in future.</p> <p> “Children Of Heaven” is one of my favorite films too, due of its masterful screenplay. Film “Children Of Heaven” chiefly was made in conflict of torn and old kids shoes but natural feelings, suffering, human problems which begins from his childhood, pain, happiness and other makes that film very artistic artwork.  </p> <p> If concern film genres i didn`t involved in the current list horror, thriller, erotic films due of immoral, illegal and not human and social worth content with violence, blood, crime demonstration (killing vivid animals), sexual and other scenes.</p> <p> I didn`t include in the this list gospel films because of God`s commandment of restriction of His physical image. I nominated the film “Barabbas” because of its correct declaring of true Christianity principles of right serving for people and restricting violence.</p> <p> There are a lot of comedies which entertains people increasing mood. Comedies mainly make by actor`s masterful play. My most favorite comic actors are Lui De Funes, Rowan Atkinson, and Cuba Gooding whose actor`s technique, precisely comic playing entertains very much and it`s very specific in films series of “Genderme” and “Fantomas” and films “Hibernatus”, “Mr Bean” and “Rat Race”.</p> <p> There`s a mysterious film “The Village”, family films “Family Man” and “Le Comperes”, futuristic film “Eagle Eye” with main theme of high technologies, love (romantic) films “Once”, “A Walk To Rebemeber”, “La Sirene Du Missipi” and “Il Bisbetico Domato”, philosophic sketch “Magnolia” and “Peaceful Warrior”  and some action films with fewest demonstration of illegal and bad content and with consist of high quality visual effects among which is “Batman” and an epic action film “The Lord Of The Rings” that videoshooting with nature without chroma key made it naturalistic and well designed with esthetic point of view.  </p> <p> I set the film “Bxl USA” on the last position due of big quantity of unaesthetic scenes with naked bodies, vomiting and others. I like “Bxl USA” due of its dedication to every mediamen who tried and tries to make breakthrough in media industry.</p> <p> Although the social value (significance) of the films with social orientation is higher than entertaining but i nominated comedies because of its motivational and entertaining function.</p> <p> The film titles is written in language of its origin.  </p> <p> I don`t pretend to be objective.

<p> It's been too long! </p> <p> Anyway, in the last two months I've had a massive film making adventure! </p> <p> I shot three short films with Christopher Kenworthy. </p> <p> The first one was a surreal erotic comedy Aftermath & Melody. The next was a science-fiction drama called Catching Sight. Both these were created to enter a festival. </p> <p> The next was made for the Film Freo 24 festival as part of Fringe in Perth. We had a great time devising, filming and editing the whole thing in 24 hours! </p> <p> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91uDl0gYHqY</p> <p> Watch it and share it and let me know what you thought. But remember we picked the title, Nothing Fits Adequately for a reason! :P</p> <p> Peace, </p> <p> MK</p>

<p> <a href="http://catchingsightfilm.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/everyone-is-creative.html">Read Our Most Recent Interview!</a></p> <p> In 2012 my partner and I started a blog about creativity and how sometimes it can cause an artist to suffer. You know the times, you didn't get that audition, or you're beating yourself up for not learning those lines properly or on time, or neither. Or that time the director told you how to perform but you just felt so uninspired and you didn't know what the director could possibly mean! And we all know the times after we've finished a gig and we sit back and think, "Right, that's the end of that, then. As soon as anyone sees that work of mine, I'll never get hired again!"</p> <p> Well, all artists hit that wall. Legend, Pen Densham, wrote a book called Riding the Alligator. You should buy it, it's inspired. As he described, it's the kind of book he would have wanted to read when he was starting out. So trust me when I say it's a book you'll want to read! Anyway, the point is that Pen hit a bajillion walls but what made him a successful writer, director and filmmaker is that he didn't give up! He was rejected probably more times than you and me combined, but he kept on going. </p> <p> And that's the message that the artists that have contributed to our blog want to get across. </p> <p> To be honest, the blog itself started as a forum to promote the film we were trying to get funding for: Catching Sight. The story of a little girl who catches a disease that gives her great talent but also makes her miserable. </p> <p> The film didn't get made... at the time. However, there's some discussion about it being resurrected as a more personal and refined project. Remember what I said about not giving up. </p> <p> So, visit my <a href="http://www.catchingsightfilm.blogspot.com.au">blog</a> and read the interviews with the amazing men and women that have contributed so far. You can contribute if you want. Just send me your email and I'll send you a new interview and let you know what else you might need for your spot in our blog!</p> <p> Whether you're an actor, dancer, filmmaker, writer, director, artist, graphic designer or photographer, there is a side of this discussion that will interest you. If there's not, let me know and we'll interview YOU!</p> <p> Peace. </p> <p> Molly </p>

<p> Review Author: Farruh Yusupov.</p> <p> My regards, dear readers, i`ve used the word “Volatility” as title because life of every man seems as road, time or distance with changing that sometime is bad or good. When talked with 1 addict despite of his drug dependency was a good man and with whom i became friend calling him an uncle, he had defined his vision of life saying that life is a river with its narrowing, widening, deepening, bend and etcetera. He liked me blaspheming the destiny because problems happen with guys like me. So i want conclude my opinion proving empirically. If you are reading this post you can prove that you are alive and any problems and happiness that happened with you passed yesterday and in future you`ll have new 1. That`s human life.         </p> <p> That introduction is for following review in which I want to survey the movie “12” of (Joel Schumacher).</p> <p> Watching films like “12” my mood improves and i want believe in future of cinematography.</p> <p> Practically the film of Mohsen Makhmalbaf “Afghan Alphabet” had a great value for society influencing to allow afghan children learn at iranian schools. Even more mr. Makhmalbaf said that if was born for this purpose he would have been satisfied.</p> <p> I think the main idea and most valuable was only single phrase of film “Sex And Philosophy” of Mohsen Makhmalbaf: “Love is under danger of dieoff”. In modern sexually corruptive word true love disappears because people changes it for money and new lust. Almost $ 40 of europeans have several matches with several partners and spouses. Where`s single true love?    </p> <p> The film “12” is a masterpiece valuable not only for US society but the whole world that watches and translates american movies which nowadays is best in virtue of its quality. That film visually demonstrates the harm and future destruction of society because of sex and drugs.  </p> <p> To say the truth i dislike movies with narration of narrator but not participant because it dissuades spectators to its verity. Quite another matter when participant tells or shares his past or feelings. The most famous actor of film “12” was casted Kiefer Sutherland.</p> <p> In general the movie can be summarized as story of actual high school students who because of abilities uses the all of it including destroying of man. I think many men knows how is to have many money and spend it. When i was a student i travelled to Tashkent where our flat is and i could spend almost any money per day equivalent to minimal salary.  </p> <p> The main character is “White Mike” (Chace Crawford) was a good prospective pupil which demonstrates remembering of “Jessica Brayson” (Emily Meade) who was also an excellent.</p> <p>     “White Mike” regardless to his beard, mourning apparel and view showed not a bad man whom escorted by eyes pretty girls but he doesn`t pays attention at them.  </p> <p>       An intrigue of richboy “Mike`s” leaves in the middle of film where the audience knows that it began after death of his mother. But when it becomes evident viewers pities “White Mike”.</p> <p> “White Mike” was a indirect reason his cousins “Charlie`s” death (Jeremy Allen White) which was happened when he during addict breaking, had threatened drug dealer “Lionel” (50 Cent) who killed him.  </p> <p> “Mike” recollections on his childhood and walking with his Charlie and his friends sympathize him.   </p> <p> According to the end of film “White Mike” lifted on the roof and thought about his life. The intellect and brevity of “White Mike” showed that despite of any problems he`s fight internally against making solution of suicide.</p> <p> “Molly Norton” (Emma Roberts) a friend of “White Mike” loved his from her childhood. “Molly Norton`s” qualities, namely honesty and decency proved herself when she confessed how Tobias (Nico Tortorella) has invited her to party.         </p> <p>  I don`t know purposely or accidently screenwriter Jordan Melamed name main negative character with biblical “Sara”.  “Sara Ludlow`s” (Esti Ginzburg) character is can determine her duty philosophy. When “Sara Ludlow” wants something she proposes herself as a price. Car dealers sells cars, PC sellers computer techniques and woman who sells herself called a prostitute but mainly prostitutes forcibly and for money to live does it. A woman who sells herself also in some case those who pays for it can be name as female dog. “Sara Ludlow” asks for party at “Chris Kenton`s” (Rory Culkin) house openly justifying her lifestyle of having many boyfriends saying that she isn`t a prostitute. There`s a good characteristics of “Sara” when she companied to her friends because of “Andrew`s” (Maxx Brawer) ignoring she called him a homosexual.          </p> <p> 1 of the most pathetic characters life was for me is “Jessica Brayson`s” who after tasting drug “12” tolerate the humiliation and abusive words of “Lionel”. “Jessica`s” reluctance fight for her estimation by others and her hiding mother`s (Ellen Barkin) sexual betrayal to her father also shows her lack of strengthen and intellect.  </p> <p> For narcotic “12” “Jessica” agrees to sex with “Lionel”. When film shot Emily Meade was 20 years old and in sexual scene with “Lionel” for me was really pity to say how he sexes teenager with soft child`s skin.</p> <p> By the narration “Chris Kentons” housekeeper who without saying thoughts that they loves her a good detail which shows verity.</p> <p> “Claude Kenton” (Billy Magnussen) “Chris`” elder brother addict too completely destroys mood by his mother who expels him warning calling police.</p> <p> The culmination begins when “White Mike” conceives that he loves “Molly” and seeking her conflicts with “Lionel” who shoots at him and accidently gets “Tobias” eye who at the same day sexes with several girls as animal.   </p> <p> It strange to think but the role of hero plays “Claude Kenton” who armed with sword and pistol shots “Lionel” but when police demands his disarmament he incomprehensibly for normal people but understandable for addicts with sword attacks them.</p> <p> The accent of the murder of brother of “Chris” wasn`t make in killing but in fact of it. The murder of “Claude Kenton” wasn`t showed but feelings and tremble of his little brother.</p> <p> “12” ended with thoughts of “White Mike” who dreamed about good future.</p> <p> Researching my audience and its preferences in social networks i`ve been faced with 1 advertisement of ukranian singer who`s name i`ll not disclose. According publicity she positioned herself as the sexiest women in the world. When i make statement about myself i try to prove it scientifically (exactly and worth to believe). In some sciences of beauty (greek kalokagathia) indicates human appearance. 1 of indicators is “Line Of The Bollinger”. According it the distance between chicks, shape of eyes and others isn`t well. Even shape of my nose, structure of hear and others my imperfect. She intended her breast that remembered me as dog`s festivals in which measures organs. I think man firstly should be a man for have happy human live.          </p> <p>  </p>

<p> Review Author: Farruh Yusupov.  <br />          In reality we are live in time of delirium of some people which float out in films, music video, book and other arts and its pity that`s forms our society teaching us penetrating our memories calling it subconscious. Rush for wealth and success despite of principle, God rules makes from good men criminals and sex as animals. I don`t want to list our favorite representative of show business who were killed by their activity, drugs and sex. By the way sex killed David Carradine literally not figuratively.   </p> <p>            I was very happy to know that some normal people live in our time and films.</p> <p>            The film begins with scene where “Guy” Glen Hansard works as street musician living for monies from passer men. By the way plausibility of the film proves the absence of names of the film characters. The film “Once” was shot in 2006 where in Republic Of Ireland the financial and economic crisis began appeared effects. Reality (credence to film) of film begins demonstrating from the first scenes where “Guy” understands suspicious guy who rambles near him looking to his earnings in the case of his musical instrument. Passer men donates to “Guy” often cents but not euros. Sympathy to “Guy” appears when he after catching thief when he says that`s money for live and he gifts 5 euro to his hooker. Small amount of donations (cents) during the film makes it very dramatical. Sometimes seemingly insignificant details as in sentimentalism become important with high sense value. I think many people know the lack of money. When during the month i researched internet casinos finding its script i had worked sometimes for tens of USD because of script limitation of win of the all gambling software.</p> <p>        Insensibly to playing musician approached “Girl” (Markéta Irglová). You know it happens when something attracts people`s attention without any purpose. During conversation “Girl” supported to saying “Guy” that she listens him. During conversation “Girl” donates money and after sometime proposes to poor musician buy a magazine. That’s demonstrates “Girl`s” kindness. Thus it’s difficult to poor man to make donation than to rich.         </p> <p>      After several meetings they find themselves soul mates and swore friends. Though underdressed girls are less interest me and many other men but “Girl`s” nature and her being decent girl showed her giving money to “Guy`s” father after repairing vacuum cleaner and his denying of payment. Even more “Girl”s decency convincingly proves her rejection of coitus with “Guy”. That`s rejection shows her sincerity of friendship feelings.</p> <p>        After sometime it becomes evident the cause of “Girl`s” friendship relation which didn`t turn to love. “Girl” has a family.  </p> <p>        Meeting with “Girl” for “Guy” was changing life. “Girl” stimulated “Guy” to record musical album and leave for London from Dublin.</p> <p>        The film “Once” ends with the final episode where “Girl” with her husband who lovingly to her and their child. In the end “Girl`s” sight uncomprehendingly looks throw opened windows. Uncomprehending of relations and events are frequently accompanies men. Therefore it makes more realistic this film. Also realism of movie proved by foreign language of “Girl`s” mother, main characters passport age which is appropriate to their characters and being of unprofessional actors who are chiefly don`t know how to play and imitate needed senses, gesticulation and mimicry.</p> <p> “Talent Pages” is 1 of the best web recourses for show business representatives but it’s like a worldwide stock of show business projects. I think if it develop to ibusinesscenter where could be directories (contact information, crew, equipment and etcetera) for film companies, musical studios, tv companies and others it will get more success.</p> <p>      Directly i`ve got casting from Erica Arvold and some other talent agency (http://ericaarvoldcasting.com/) for commercial and films of local (Virginia) producers. Many other american talent agents and directors asked to real participation then virtual to contract. So there`s some problems with appropriate visa category without contract and petition and i don`t know about necessity of my american show business carrier.     </p> <p>     I think it`s better for me to shot own short films (own view (thoughts) and own pace in mankind) than to play in local projects.               </p> <p>      In the end i want to thanfull all my followers, audition which i consider not as fans but as friends.       </p> <p>    </p>

<p> I believe that when it comes to re-inventing an iconic character in a role, you should always FIRST look with a new face! The same way you would bring a new vision to the story the same treatment should be done throughout the entire production process. </p> <p> I'm <strong>Looking for Actors & Actresses </strong>who want to be <strong>Supehero </strong>or<strong> Supervililan </strong>and reprise the role of someone within the recration of the DC universe. </p> <p> Casting is one of the most developmental points of the beginning production process since new ideas and approaches are always being made, be it from the writer to the director or the director to the actor. </p> <p> <strong>I'm heading to OHIO COMIC CON in September and hope to promote what I'm working on at the convention! </strong></p> <p> Leave a message if you are interested in becoming a part of this project<strong> </strong></p>

<p> Publication Author: Farruh Yusupov.</p> <p> My regards, dear readers, today i`ve faced news in which were proclaimed the bankruptcy of Detroit State Administration (<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/18/us-usa-detroit-bankruptcy-idUSBRE96H16O20130718">http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/18/us-usa-detroit-bankruptcy-idUSBRE96H16O20130718</a>). After sometime i guessed that Western Civilization is final stage of human’s civilization in which every man aspires to freedom. So mankind goes to the way of its beginning to its animal nature for which there is not limits and laws.</p> <p> Mr. Quentin Tarantino (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/) aspired to write something about him and his endowment in US and world cinematography. It`s interesting that well gifted by God mr. Tarantino participates almost in these film projects in which violation scenes, precisely blood and sexual are the main content. Quentin Tarantino in 1993 year in Toronto`s Film Festival have found his soul friend Robert Rodriguez with whom they created 4 rooms. Despite of mr. Tarantino`s role in films in some of them he was actor, in others film director, screenwriter and producer he never changes his main theatrical character of maniac. In first collaboration with mr. Rodriguez mr. Tarantino in film “4 Rooms” in 1995 there were witches who were looked for man`s reproduction biomaterial for their ceremonies, dangerous gangster (Antonio Banderas), hotel`s manager (Tim Roth) who cut finger of addict actors just for money forgetting their narcosis.</p> <p> Now i can just list some of well known mr. Tarantino`s film: “Kill Bill” 1 and 2, “Pulp Fiction” in which has scene of the rape of gangster man, “From Dusk Till Dawn” in which he licked the heels of Santánico Pandemónium (Salma Hayek). Maybe it’s all because of my education but i don`t understand the link between love, aesthetics, geniality and licking of heels. In film “Planet Terror” with actual dream team directing by mr. Rodriguez Quentin Tarantino played as producer. As it expected in that movie there`s actual that became classic sketches with homosexual woman and 1 - legged striptease dancer, oh now i made mistake that dance is calling go – go. I think it`s enough of art of Quentin Tarantino, i fear of you today sleeping.</p> <p> Now i want to continue with film of mr. Robert Rodriguez “Machete” which is part of film series “Grindhouse” in which substitutes he with our other character of our article Quentin Tarantino.  Firstly it need to say that in “Machete” plays Danny Trejo, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, Lindsay Lohan Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro and others. The character of machete plays Danny Trejo who urges to revolution, moral class equality; fight for the human rights including everywhere oppressed migrants. At first sight, namely in film annotation it can be seemed as machete the modern national hero but after watching film it becomes interesting that the whole people glorifies him though he sexes with mother and daughter (Lindsay Lohan) at the same time. All in all film is parody to genre of other films of mr. Robert Rodriguez and mr. Quentin Tarantino.</p> <p> It`s interesting for me that marquis de Sade the founder of sadism, proponent of extreme freedom, unrestrained by religion and law was jailed and mainly he knew about his trace in humankind and literature willing: when i would be covered in the ground, let the acorns scattered on top for new growth conceals the place of my burial and my trace grave would have disappeared forever, as i`m hoping to disappear from people's minds".</p> <p> US cinematography was pioneer and stand of the world cinematography which directed after it using acting, screenwriting, film directing, video and computer technologies (visual effects) and etcetera.</p> <p> Modern cinematography is need films like “Gone The Wind” in which educates people don`t waste time that`s life for people who doesn`t love man.</p> <p> Film “Forest Gump” is 1 of the favorite 1, in which Tom Hanks shows that it isn`t impossible to be champion in ping pong, made world records in running, be a biggest entrepreneur and chiefly to be a hero.       </p> <p> In russian talent agencies and show business i was considered as bad speaking actor of caucasian type but i`m very grateful to american talent directors, agents and agencies for casting calls  but without P1 petition talent can`t work so because of my law-abiding character i can`t consider they. I don`t want to have problems with everyone including government.      </p> <p>                    </p> <p>             </p> <p>  </p>
