Good morning, fellow artists! Welcome to another exciting edition of my weekly blog. As I mentioned in my last blog entry, I finished writing the first draft of my latest feature film script on May 14th, 2025! And to lock in this achievement, I knew I had to celebrate immediately. One of my mentors, master teacher and actor Richard Lawson, teaches us that a celebration is a “ceremony of respect.” I needed to respect this win. And I knew how I wanted to celebrate it. I am a big fan of contemporary artist Braxton J. Fuller. His artwork is exciting, fresh, intelligent, and provocative. I own two of his works on paper, which I acquired as celebrations for previous achievements. Keep reading below 🙂
I ran across one of his Instagram posts recently and became intrigued and struck by one of his art pieces. It’s an “Untitled” study measuring at 8″x11″, but the caption he added in his post said, “It was all a dream, until you make it come true.” That resonated with me. It’s about turning dreams into action. Postulates into action. You postulate something, see it clearly, and then go after it. My latest film script is part of the larger picture of my career. It’s a goal to achieve a postulate I see for myself. And this work of art reminds me that it’s about putting postulates into action. My script began as an idea I cultivated and nourished through Sundance Collab. And now, it is a fully-realized, tangible product. I reached out to Braxton and expressed my interest in this piece, and the acquisition occurred on Friday, May 23rd, 2025. I can’t wait to receive it! Keep reading below 🙂
