MARCH 2016 - TROUBLE IN PARADISE???

MARCH 2016...TROUBLE IN PARADISE???

can't believe this is my first blog of the year! i must be busy!


well...the future is uncertain. my Permanent Residency Permit was refused as the truth is applying under "Scare Skills" and as i am not an Agricultural Engineer i'm not on the list. plain and simple. so staying here could be dodgy and a bit of a challenge at the minute! Plan B?? IDK, anywhere but back to LA. they say Tel Aviv is the Hollywood of the Med and there is production. a work permit is tricky, but not impossible as i got one here. but staying here is the dream as i am working, i have an agent, i'm doing castings (auditions), booking commercials, and working again in TV & Film. 

my HAMC (Hollywood Acting Master Class) is having a resurgence which is awesome as i really love to teach. and now i have an incredible venue...a friend's coffee shop with great colours and tones and textures for shooting.

i really love Cape Town. the CBD is a perfect fit for me. i'm an urban cowboy 100%. and i finally got my bike back so that is also cool! and fall is coming and the weather is perfect and work is here and should be busy til may. how i landed here is a miracle. thanks be to God.

lots of captions to write. lemme get to it and get this published!

happy to be here and feeling very much alive!
