Get acting jobs online?

“Websites are almost all scams - because casting directors don’t advertise auditions publicly at all. Casting directors want professionally-trained and very experienced actors only - that’s why they go through agents. Ask at your acting class or stage school; they’d be able to advise you about genuine agents. If you’re not already attending a good class, and have been going at least weekly for several years, you’re not ready for auditions.” (Cogito) “Websites are mostly going to show you amateur low or no pay auditions. You will need an agent to get you on commercials, or professional acting auditions. There aren’t open calls like things you will find on web sites.” (R.K) “I’m an LA Actor giving you the REAL DEAL! The ONLY LEGIT Online sites that you can find jobs on your own through: ALL SITES NOT LISTED BELOW ARE QUESTIONABLE! http://www.backstage.com http://auditionupdate.com/ www.ActorsAccess.com www.LACasting.com www.Nowcasting.com www.NYCasting.com www.NYCastings.com Free but proceed with caution: www.Mandy.com” (TruthTeller59).

“In Italy this is about the only website that we have: http://www.lavorare-spettacolo.com/” (Marco)

How to think about auditioning?

10 Ways You Should Be Thinking about Auditioning

By Anthony Meindl | Posted June 16, 2014, 10 a.m. on:

http://www.backstage.com/advice-for-actors/backstage-experts/10-ways-you-should-be-thinkingabout-auditioning/

Hasn’t it all been said before? Probably. But I’ll try again, as I was reminded of the obvious while sitting in on a casting session recently. I think it’d be helpful if actors put Post-it notes all over their house reminding them of these simple truths.

1. The audition isn’t all about you. I know actors think that the audition all boils down to them…but actually, it doesn’t. The actor is one of several moving parts and what you do—or don’t do—in the audition, is really not that big a deal. The casting director is not obsessing over the mistakes you think you made. They have a casting problem and they’re hoping you are their answer. But if you’re not, it’s not personal. They aren’t thinking of you in the way you think of yourself. Eleanor Roosevelt put it best, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”

2. There will be more auditions. Our lives are ongoing, but we live a moment as if it’s the only opportunity we’ll ever have. It’s not. You’ll have another chance to audition. And find love. And succeed. And catch the missed bus. You’ll have another chance to book a job and get an agent and be cast in a film. Don’t get so caught up in the minutiae of life, when your life is actually a continuum of many, many, many moments.

3. There’s not secret to auditioning. The secret to auditioning? Drumroll please…there is none. No magic pill, no “correct” way of doing it. In fact, the more you try to do it “right,” the more you’re actually doing it wrong. No one cares about you doing it right. They want you to be you. And when you do, they’ll be interested.

4. Tell your true story. A casting director friend of mine said recently, “If an actor comes in and is willing to tell his or her story and they believe it, then we’ll believe it.” You have to be brave enough to do this. The great librettist, Oscar Hammerstein said something similar to his protégé Stephen Sondheim once as well, “If you write what you feel, it will come out true. If you write what I feel it will come out false.” So tell your story through the material and it will be true.

5. You can be the most amazing actor and not get the role. Don’t worry about it so much. You’re not auditioning for a job, you’re auditioning for your career.

Just go in and play and commit, and then leave it in the room. If you do this, they’ll remember you for the next time. Wentworth Miller confirms this when he says, “You might look at my CV and see I’ve had 12 jobs, but I’ve been to over 450 auditions so I’ve heard ‘no’ a lot more than I’ve heard ‘yes.’ ” 6. Stop thinking about if as a job. It’s not. It’s your opportunity to create. Give yourself the permission to have your own experience. That means go in and show them how you would choose to play this role. That’s the reason to do it anyway.

7. Give up control of doing something perfectly and instead be human. Another way of seeing this is to play and have fun. When you do, we will have fun watching you.

8. Pray for mistakes. (Doubly important for people who like to control; see #7.)

When mistakes occur and you’ve been taught to embrace them and not deny them, they will usher in very exciting and dynamic moments that aren’t planned, orchestrated, and mapped out. You’ll go from acting to being.

9. It’s not really rocket science. Understand the material. Make a choice. Go all in. Commit bravely. Listen. React. Play.

10. It’s all listening. Every actor can say a line perfectly. But how you listen to what is being said to you and how it affects you is different for each person in each moment. Surrender to the listening in a way that draws you into the experience, and it will draw us in too.

Interview and images

by Douglas Bassett

the most and why?

Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Christian Bale, Daniel Day Lewis, Johnny Deep, Kevin Spacey and a few more… because they’re real artists.

1. Tell us about yourself and your acting career.

I’m a very hard working person, and I never stop developing projects as a producer and as an actor. My acting career is an interesting adventure, but it fills me up as an actor and man every day. After all my achievements (7 Times Best Actor, 5 Times Best Outstanding Performance and over 40 awards at the Film Festivals), I’m ready to step into the next level and get more satisfaction.

4. Name your top 10 favorite movies of all times.

Scent of a Woman, The God Father II, Donnie Brasco, The Wolf of Wall Street, City of Angeles, The Great Gatsby, Original Sin, Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Pulp Fiction.

2. What motivates you to act?

Basically I love to be able to express myself and totally open my feelings and discover new sides of me.

3.

Which Hollywood celebrity inspires you

Trend Privé Magazine 18

5. How do you get your acting jobs?

Direct connections with collogues producers and directors. You cannot wait on a phone call from your agent to get you a job; YOU need to be the phone-call that everybody is waiting on.

6. How do you overcome the rejection of an audition?

I just let it go and move on to bigger projects.

7. Tell me about a time where you had difficulty turning yourself into a character. What

was the character and why was it challenging?

The most challenging character for me was in My Little Princess. It was hard to focus on the tragedy of a father that was losing his little girl because of cancer, while I was also the director.

8. Are you working on any current projects?

Yes, we’re currently developing 4 new projects and a TV pilot.

9. Do you think you could have done a past performance better? What was the performance?

Why could you have done it better?

Absolutely yes! Life brings you experience and new emotions to give. I cannot say the specific project, but it happened when I was working with a director that had very confusing views and directions…

10. Any advice to the aspiring actors reading our magazine?

Have a strategy, listen to your heart, believe in yourself, be crazy and always stay very focused towards your targets and goals.

Hot Interview How did you become an actor and why?

Acting is the way I communicate with the world, express myself, and say something important to people. Actually, my path to acting did not happen overnight. Yes, I’ve had my acting degree for quite some time, but only recently have I started to think of myself as mature enough to call myself an actor. To act the part, you have to experience a lot in life, try many thing and adventures, go through a lot of different feelings, and have a passion for life.

Which occupation or role fits you the most: actor, screen-writer, producer or a public figure?

As far as I feel, “the initiatives” is the vital part of what I do in the process of all of those things. No matter what I do acting, promoting for the new project, organization of the project, all of my actions are based on a reliable and powerful foundation called “initiation.”

What else helps you to effectively cope with the challenges?

Do you know the difference between an average theatrical director and a really good one? A good director fully understands the work of all his staff, starting from the stage assembler and finishing with the actor himself. The understanding of how each element of the whole system works makes the entire process work effectively. By following this rule, I achieve the goal of managing my whole life process in this complex and challenging world.

Which are the famous actors with a world renowned reputation that are interesting to you as good examples?

There are just a few world renowned actors whose work gives the reason to respect them and get inspiration from their work. I can name a few: Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, and a real beautiful lady, Meryl Streep. If I see the posters with their names, I go see them on the big screen, because I know for sure these actors would not take a part in second-rate movies. I am convinced that I will get great pleasure from their brilliant work of acting.

Can you highlight a few Russian actors as well?

Unfortunately, we do not have as many outstanding actors whose work is worth to be monitored.

But I would probably pick these guys from the crowd: Alexei Serebryakov, Yevgeny Mironov and Mikhail Efremov. As far as female actresses go, I probably would choose to watch the work of Ksenia Rappoport, Anna Kovalchuk, Irina Rozanova, Svetlana Kryuchkova and Nina Usatova.

Do you have enough filming roles?

The question is a bit incorrect. Am I satisfied with the amount of played roles? The answer would be: Of course not, because as soon as I’m satisfied, I will have to retire or pick another profession.

Acting implies that you are constantly searching; you have a desire to do more acting, determination to film as much as you can, while you are young. Right now I have a huge desire to work with well-known European and Western film directors. It’s because I’ve already worked with Oliver Hirschbiegel in the film “Downfall” in 2004. This film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.

Is there a role you really aspire to play?

Yes, and it’s not Hamlet (laughs). You know, the great actor, Eugene Evstigneev once said that the purpose of his life is playing on stage, the fate of ordinary people who are small by their status or rank, because in their lives, there is something that is really important, but is hidden beneath the surface. It is because they are modest and shy people. And so, I would not say I have a specific role I would like to play, but I do want to play a role of somebody who has an interesting inner-world outlook. They are humble and simple, they are unlikely someone who can become a great hero, but it is only at first glance. Oh, and most importantly, my heroes - are not necessarily positive characters.

After all, the subject of good and evil is somewhat relative, and even the worst person, from the conventional viewpoint, might be as terrible in some of his manifestations. He may be the best for mom and dad. You know what I mean?

What inspires you?

Probably my own life experiences; people and things that surround me, but first of all people do.

I love to watch them, and I am a people person myself. I love people (laughs). Of course, nature inspires me too. Well, the animals, because they never lie and are always sincere and natural in their actions.

How do you like to spend your free time?

You know, I don’t have a lot of free time.

In my spare time I try to cleanse myself from vanity. And with a clear head, I think about eternal values. I make sure to visit the people closest to me; my family.

Baron Wolman The king of rock ’n’ roll photography

By Trend Prive Magazine Writer, Raluca Iorga One of the greatest photographers of all times, Baron Wolman succeeded to write the rock-and-roll history in images. The lens of his camera captured the royalty of the ‘60s pop and rock explosion – Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Iggy Pop, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Jim Morison, Ike & Tina Turner, and the list could go on as Baron’s endless stories about his amazing work and cool life.

Trend Privé Magazine 32

Photo credit for Baron Wolman’s portrait: Elizabeth DeCicco

He moved from Berlin to Los Angeles, then to San Francisco, later to New Mexico and he made an unforgettable journey through the world of photography starting with the Berlin Wall and moving to rock stars, street fashion, nudes and landscapes. He was the first chief photographer for Rolling Stone magazine, he showed the real Woodstock to the world, he created Rags fashion magazine, he even learned how to fly for his work and finally he released an auto-biographical, image-heavy book, Baron Wolman: Every Picture Tells A Story, the Rolling Stone Years.

The

Interview

friendly with Janis Joplin and Steve Miller (Steve Miller Blues Band) and we all knew each other, we lived in the same neighborhood. But I didn’t hang out with the musicians because at that time I was married to a professional ballet dancer and had “home and love responsibilities” to fulfill.

Among all the other rock legends, you’ve met Jimi Hendrix. I can’t help myself to ask you about him. How was that feeling to see him live? And how was he as a person, behind the stage?

Seeing Jimi Hendrix live, being onstage with him and my camera, was a magical experience. Not only was he a hugely talented musician, he was a great visual performer. Which means we, the audience (and the photographers) received the music and the performance together – unbelievable. I always say it was impossible to take a bad photo of Jimi. Behind the stage he was a big surprise, very quiet, respectful and intelligent.

Sometimes he would talk so soft that it was difficult to hear him.

Do you remember a very special moment that happened to you while shooting?

I remember Jimi Hendrix pointing directly at me and my camera while he was playing his guitar.

I remember Steven Tyler of Aerosmith flipping me the bird, giving me the finger, directly to the camera while he was performing onstage. Both are very personal, very special photographic moments.

Did it ever happen to you to fall in love with the women you captured on camera (celebrities or not)? How did this passion go?

I always fall in love with the women I photograph; for me it is natural, and a part of the process. Sometimes it is a “soul love”, a spirit in the sky, sometimes it is the love expressed in the photos themselves, sometimes the passion was “realized” during the photo session, on the seamless background in the studio or elsewhere, like in the film “Blow-Up”. I was very lucky…!!!

Everybody knows you as the rock-and-roll most famous photographer. But who is the real Baron Wolman?

The real Baron Wolman is just a nice guy who loves life, who loves cameras and who loves women…

When did you discover your passion for photography and for music?

I discovered my passion for photography the first time I took a camera in my hands and looked through the viewfinder. It felt so natural, as if taking pictures was something I was born to do. My passion for music really emerged in the Haight-Ashbury when I went to the free concerts in Golden Gate Park and later to the Fillmore West in San Francisco.

You “wrote” in images, an important part of rock-and-roll history, being part of it while happening. How did you feel there, close to the stage, close to those rock and roll legends?

When I photographed the musicians for Rolling Stone they were not yet legends, so for me, I was basically photographing hugely talented musicians.

The closer to the stage, the more intimate the photographs. I had no idea my photos would become a part of music history. For me it was the passion and joy of photography mixed with the excitement of live music.

Did you have a special connection / friendship with some of those artists?

Not really, because they would come to town, I would photograph them and they would continue on their tour to the next town. I did become

I’m sure that every picture you took tells a story and that each of them is special to you, but you must have an image which you really love the most of all. Which one is this and why is it so special to you?

Not true. I love so many of my images. I love the iconic photo of Jimi Hendrix. I love “Margaret Undressing”. I love photos of the Golden Gate Bridge from my airplane. If you have children (my photos are my children), do you have one you love most of all…??? Not possible.

Your pictures are very valuable now. Which is the most expensive of your works that has been sold by now and which was its price?

Sometimes I get money for selling prints, sometimes I get money for a photo license. My best print sale was a collection purchased by one buyer – Jagger, Ike & Tina Turner, Johnny Cash, etc. Each print, very large, on brushed aluminum, was more than $20,000…!!! My best license was in Italy for Liu Jeans, for a photo of Jimi Hendrix;

BARON WOLMAN The king of rock ’n’ roll photography

$30,000. From this money came many nice dinners with good wine…

These changes could be seen, could be photographed. That was what I loved – you could actually see the changes. Also, I had already photographed a lot of music; for me it was also time for a career change.

Do you think that there’s something left for your camera lens to see, any area you didn’t reach yet as a photographer and you’d like to do it?

Good question. I ask myself this all the time. So far, no answer to this question…

While being awarded as a VIP at the 2011 Classic Rock Roll of Honor Awards, you smashed a camera on stage in homage to Pete Townshend. What did you want your gesture to prove? What means Pete Townshend to you?

My first concert assignment for Rolling Stone was to photograph the Who in San Francisco. At that concert Pete Townshend smashed his guitars. This was strange for me; like smashing a camera. How could he make music with a broken guitar? How could I take photos with a broken camera? But I saw that he enjoyed the smashing, and so I wanted to see if I could also enjoy the smashing. It was quite an experience, I can tell you that! And a big surprise, Pete Townshend was in the audience of the Honor Awards. I had no idea…

What’s your most important belief as a photographer?

How would you describe the Woodstock experience?

For that I need a book (www.celebratingwoodstock. com). Woodstock was such a surprise. So many people in one place to hear music... first time ever.

Nobody expected such a large crowd. And the crowd was peaceful, no violence, even with not enough food, not enough water, not good sanitation, mud and heat – still, everybody was friendly and happy. It was a life experience promised by the children of the ‘60s. For the weekend of Woodstock we proved that the dream of the ‘60s could come true. Of course, after Woodstock, unfortunately the dream became a nightmare, everywhere in the world…

How did you switch from music to fashion?

What made you create Rags magazine?

It was easy to switch to fashion because fashion is so visual, fashion makes great subjects for a photographer. True fashion is about lifestyle, not just clothes – and that was the point of view of Rags… much more than simple the clothes. We called Rags “the Rolling Stone of Fashion” because we looked at fashion from a new perspective, just as Rolling Stone looked at music from a new perspective. In the ‘60s came many changes…in music, in politics, and in clothes and hair and body decoration.

It is important for a photographer to know why he/ she takes pictures. Is it a hobby, is it a profession, is it to make money, or is it the deep expression from the soul, a manifestation of the individual’s unique personality? For me photography comes from the heart, like the music of Mozart came from his heart. I don’t have to think about making a picture, the photograph emerges not from me but through me as if a divine spirit is helping me to make my art, to make beautiful and meaningful photographs.

How did you succeed in capturing the perfect images? What’s your secret?

My best picture are made when I involve myself with the subject, whether a person (musician or otherwise) or a landscape, and then framing carefully so what I have seen in the camera can be communicated to the viewers. Framing the image is one of the most important elements to creating a successful photograph.

Which are the photographic projects you work at, in this moment?

I have recently sold my entire photographic archive to a company in the U.K., called Iconic Images.

Now they are making an amazing book from my groupie photos; after that together we are planning for many exhibits around the world. For me personally, I am still looking for another “project” to become obsessed with, although in the end, life itself is the only project.

Who do you consider reference points for photography, fashion and music? Who are your icons in these fields?

As is true for many photojournalists, also for me, Henri Cartier-Bresson established the level of excellence and truth in vision for this type, my type, of “documentary” photography. For fashion, for sure Richard Avedon and Irving Penn were my big inspirations. For music, the only inspiration was my friend, the late Jim Marshall. He was the master of both vision and technique in the field of music photography.

What hobbies do you have? What do you like most in your life?

I love women, as you know, and seek their company as friends. I like taking pictures, I love to travel and I enjoy visiting my people everywhere in the world. Listening to live music is always a joy, making books and exhibiting my work is very fulfilling, and, of course, sitting in cafés for hours solving the problems of the world is the best way to relax.

At some point in your life you learned how to fly in order to shoot amazing landscapes.

How would you describe this time of your life? How far would you go for your passion?

For many years I had wanted to fly but I worried it might be impossible for me to learn. However, in my late ‘30s I said to myself “it’s now or never”.

Four of us bought a small plane together: 3 men and 1 woman. We all had different instructors.

My favorite instructor was a woman, of course. I loved the freedom and the exhilaration of flight – it became my passion, my obsession. I flew the plane, opened the window and took pictures as I controlled the plane! I took landscape pictures from the plane and pictures of other planes flying next to me. It was magical! One day as I was returning home, the engine of my plane stopped in mid-air. Fortunately, I was near an airport and landed safely. After that, my passion and my obsession became less, like a love that weakens unexpectedly. When I moved to Santa Fe I sold my airplane and have not flown since.

From all the places you’ve lived, where do you feel you really belong?

I truly feel as if I am a man of the planet, I belong to the world. I am comfortable almost everywhere. When I come to Italy, for example, I say, “I could live here.” When I was in Bangkok I said, “I could live here.” And in London, and in Paris, and in Berlin, and in Buenos Aires, the same. I love to meet people, to discover again that in so many aspects we are so much alike. We are all just trying to make it through the night…

“Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight, and it’s sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.”

5 Biggest Mistakes a Theater Actor Makes On a Film Set

By Timothy Davis-Reed 5 Biggest Mistakes a Theater Actor Makes On a Film Set You just landed your first film job! Congratulations! However, working on a film set is much different than in a theater. Here are the top five mistakes theater actors make on a film set – and how you can avoid them.

1. Don’t assume it will be like the first day of play rehearsal. First day of a theater rehearsal is often a welcoming experience. Even if you have a small part, you feel like part of the family. You bond. You become a cast. Being on a film set always feels like being the new kid in school. When you arrive at your call time, the set already appears to be a well-oiled machine where everyone but you knows what to do and where to go. Not to worry. Almost every person on the set is connected by headset to almost everyone else.

Stop the first person you see with a walkie-talkie and introduce yourself.

Hot Read

Tell them your name, the name of your character – even if it’s just “Reporter 3” – and ask them who you should check in with. They will likely be able to direct you to someone who will take you to your trailer and tell you when they will be ready for you in hair and makeup. You’ve gotten past the first hurtle. You’re there.

2. Don’t assume help will be offered. It is important to remember that you were hired with the expectation that you know what you’re doing. It’s rare that someone will just notice your deer-in-the-headlights expression and pull you aside to help. I have usually found that people are more than willing to help with tips and advice if you ask. However – and this is important – you have to ask. Don’t pretend to know something that you don’t.

Movie sets have their own jargon. The make-up trailer is probably the first (and most comfortable) place to ask for a little advice.

3. Don’t assume you are going to have rehearsal time. In film time is money, so we don’t spend a lot of it rehearsing while a crew of 150 highly-trained (and highly-paid) artisans stand around and watch. This is doubly true in television. You will likely do one read-through of the scene, and one “rehearsal for marks” – where any physical movement in the scene is recorded and your blocking marks are delineated with colored tape on the floor. You will then be released while your stand-in works with the camera crew. Use this time to rehearse on your own or with your scene partner if they are willing. (They may not be.) You can either head back to your trailer and work on your two lines so that you know them backwards and forwards and sideways, or you can stay there on the set and watch the camera rehearsals. If you’ve never done this, it can really help to watch your stand-in stepping through the blocking and watch how the rest of the crew is working. Here is where you might also be able to pull aside a kind member of the crew and ask some questions.

Important Read

4. Don’t assume you are going to receive any direction at all. This one is always a little surprising to young actors who are used to the collaborative nature of a theater rehearsal. On a film set, the director is solving a thousand different little puzzles with the help of many highly specialized artists, and you are just one small piece of that puzzle. If you can do all of your own work and replicate what you did in the audition room, which is how you got this tiny little role in the first place, do it. Your job when you’re playing a small part is to not make them do another take because you can’t say “Mogadishu” when the pressure’s on. That’s how you get to play larger parts.

5. Don’t forget you’re wearing a body mic. This one slips up even experienced pros. If you have been fitted with a wireless lavaliere (“lav”) mic, you very quickly forget that it’s there. However, unless you or one of the sound people has actually turned off your battery pack, that mic is live, and what you are saying can be heard by anyone on the set who’s wearing headphones. We are used to being able to have a little whispered conversation at a rehearsal for a play. We’re actors; we like to complain. It helps us feel smug and superior when we’re really scared and insecure. You may be tempted to give into this on a film set, especially if you are feeling frightened and insecure. Don’t. Remember, you are only one tiny piece of this big mosaic. You haven’t yet earned the right to complain. Be on time. Be professional. Be thankful.

Inside the mad, crazy, genius world of film maker ACE NORTON!

Ace with Snoop Dog

By Stacey Blanchet xploring the world of fashion films is an eclectic experience down the rabbit hole. It’s a ride for your imagination similar to a good book begging you to turn the page. At the 2014 International Film Awards, in La Jolla, California, I observed film maker Ace Norton. He blew past me like a ball of energy. I knew he was someone to watch.

He didn’t just have one film, he had two! One took us to a dreamy state in “The Purgatory of Monotony”, the other to a dead woman’s party in “Jenni Kayne”. By the age of seventeen, Ace had already shot 200 shorts and was quickly snapped up by USC film School. It did not take long for his genius to be recognized by Snoop Dog and Jennifer Lopez for their music videos. When Ace joined the world of commercials, his career was launched with spots for Nissan and Sephora cosmetics to be shot in China in the fall of 2014. Take a look at his website for the who’s who that has worked with Ace. www.acenorton.com . But, it is Ace’s love for fashion which allows him to transport us into his crazy, genius world of beauty. Ace and the fashion designer collaborate in such a way that a marriage occurs which gives birth to fashion on the shiny, silver screen.

nterview: What was it like growing up with film makers? My father was a director and my mother was a script supervisor so I was around sets a lot as a kid. Instead of summer away camp, I would work on television sets as the video assist. It was never something I was encouraged to pursue. My parents were fully aware of how unpredictable and awful the business can be so they never really pressed me to follow in their footsteps. But, for me, it played an important part in my life growing up and a great way to build close friendships. Why did you choose film making? Did you feel you had a choice? I wanted to be a professional skateboarder and then a chef.

I was mediocre at both. In 8th grade, I broke my tailbone so my dreams of becoming a skateboarder were shattered, literally. I couldn’t really go out and do any physical actives so I would borrow my father’s 8mm camera and after school, I would make these little short films with my friends who lived in the neighborhood. The shorts were all very bloody, stupid and very sexual. It included lots of surfing, hit men, mindless mayhem and killing. It was if Quentin Tarantino and Sam Rami had been

Ace with Bret Michaels

Ace Norton, is a Director on the move. Like a tornado, he sweeps you up in a cloud and takes you on a ride you could never imagine.

Ace is a prime example of what drive, education and imagination look like. On his bucket list, he wants to direct his first feature film.

Given all that he has accomplished in such a short period of time, this is not far off. There are no short cuts in this business. Feature film anyone?

put into a blender with Dog Town and the Z Boys. So, for me, filmmaking came out of a necessity to have fun and create friendships, which still rings true to this very day.

How do you feel your education at USC helped you the most? Students were brutal in their critiques of my films which in hindsight was a great thing. So, for me, it made me realize what my strengths and weaknesses where as a director. What I was good at doing and not so good at doing. That being said, I dropped out junior year. What skill sets do you possess that enable you to walk into a meeting with a company say ‘Sephora’ and make a bid to do their commercials? Why would they hire someone your age? What benefits do you bring to the table? I think it’s important to let the work speak for itself. Try to be as positive and humble as possible. People feed off of good energy and enthusiasm. How do you select your team? What are the requirements? Or, are you with the same team mates since college? How would someone break through to work with you? I still work with my college buddies and I also work with a lot of passionate and hungry younger kids…just hard working people with a great attitudes. What do you see are the skill sets missing in film makers trying to make it? By that I mean getting paid. That they enter into this business with the intention to only get paid. You have shot music videos, television commercials (Nissan, Sephora), fashion films and shorts? What is your favorite and what are your goals in the next five (5) years? I love the fashion film world because I look at them like short films with fancy clothes. I have all these ideas and cool narratives in my back pocket that I have been trying to make for years but could not get the funding for. But, now designers are giving me the budget to create my passion projects- (which double as a commercial for the clothing line and also as a great stand alone film). It is a perfect mutually beneficial medium. I am very happy. As far as your goals in the next five years? I want make a movie! I want to settle down and start a family and do that whole thing. What do you feel you need to learn more about that school could not teach you? Home repair. What is your top 5 items in your bucket list? Surf pipeline, Direct a movie, Make one hit song, Travel more, Write a novel. Who are your biggest mentors and people who inspire you? My family.

P.S. As this article was being finished, Ace Norton, has won the Milan Fashion Film Festival 2014 for Best Director, Best Art Direction and Best film, for Purgatory of Monotony.

“What’s always refreshing to see, is a positive celebrity willing to give back.”

by JOSHUA SEIBERT What’s always refreshing to see is a positive celebrity willing to give back. Actress Mia Farrow’s most famous film roles date from the 1960s to the mid-1980s, so she’s actually better known to many today as a humanitarian. She serves as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and has been especially active in drawing attention to the genocide in Darfur. She’s also worked to assist victims in the Central African Republic, Chad and Sudan.”

Do you have a particular television/film genre

Oscar-winning actor George Clooney is well known for his activism and generosity. His latest mission is to stop the genocide occurring in the Darfur region of Sudan, and he founded the organization Not On Our Watch, along with his Ocean’s 11 co-stars, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and producer Jerry Weintraub. Clooney traveled to the Sudanese Nuba Mountains with the ENOUGH Project in 2012, documenting and filming the trip”, see: listosaur.com

“In Hollywood to win an Oscar is clearly the pinnacle of success.”

Whatever your pursuit of happiness is, the question of how a person measures their success, resides subjective. Though, we all know pop culture does play a defining role on how modernized fairy tales come together in the end.

Western Culture has revolutionized the arts since the mid-20th century, and continues to sky rocket the status-quo across the earth in a real time cinematic race to creative equality racially interconnected and undoubtedly projected towards the heavens.

In Hollywood to win an Oscar is clearly the pinnacle of success. “This moment is so much bigger than me. It’s for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened.” Halle Berry Halle Berry became “The first Black Woman” to win a Best Actress Oscar, Monster’s Ball, 2000.

In 2014 Best Actor went to Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club and Best Actress went to Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine.

“The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. It’s a great outlet. As for myself, I’m not sure who I am.” Leonardo Dicaprio “It is impossible to teach a person to act who has no natural talent”. – Dame Judi Dench

SevenAges Ibi auctore, Avante-Garde and Pop Culture by J.T. Seibert

“All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

“William Shakespeare So you think you have what it takes to be an actor? A question easily asked but is it easily answered?

BANG! Didn’t see that coming, did ya? You see, some say it’s how a person handles misdirection that separates the men from the boys or the “professionales” from the amateurs. Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Morgan Freeman and so many countless legends define what it means to be the priceless stars we all admire. Across the globe, actors grace the stages daily while passionate dreamers and realistic intuitive screen warriors alike, all with similarities yet incredibly distinct differences, execute greatness. Lynn Hirschberg screen tests reveal insight into the actor as an individual in an up close and personal viewpoint while “Inside the Actors Studio” with James Lipton delves into the life of some of the most profound acting “aristocrats” of our time in an open audience setting. The Royal Shakespeare Company, based in Stratford Upon Avon stands as a pillar of theatrical promise continuing traditions since at least the seventeenth hundreds. Just as the experienced performer incandescently projects the monologue, youthful playhouses prepare the world for the hopeful performances of tomorrow.

Starting at a young age, after playing the Artful Dodger in “Oliver”, Clive Owen knew he had to become an actor prior to auditioning with a piece from “A midsummer night’s dream” where he considers this a pivotal point to his career taking off.

Magnificent actresses like Meryl Streep have captivated our hearts and minds for years while maintaining incredible poise showcasing raw untethered ability.

“I think your self emerges more clearly over time.”~ Meryl Streep Multi-faceted artists as Justin Timberlake crossed genres making us laugh and think outside the box in movies such as “Friends with Benefits” and “In Time”. Just as these mainstream icons set the standards, trends and styles, up and coming aspiring students across the world attending the likes of Boston University School of Theater, California Institute of the artists, and The Julliard School, Drama Division hit the stages with dramatic integrity sharing a passion inside that may take them to unthinkable heights.

“When I first got to New York, my feet hit the sidewalk and you’d have thought, I was born and raised there. I took over that town. None of my friends took me seriously. I came home and announced, ‘I’m going to move to New York,’ and they were like ‘OK.’ Then when I did, they kept waiting for me to fail and come back. But I knew I wouldn’t. I was like: ‘I’ll show you.’ - Jennifer Lawrence.

So what’s the situation? The word “theater” comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.” -Stella Adler.

Do you know the difference between the Stanislavskis System and the Lee Strasberg method? Does natural talent reign or are the aficionados of rooted stage value stealing the show? Let’s have a look at some methodology.

“The idea exists out there that acting training is a waste of time. Or that it’s something you might do to “tune up for pilot season.” Or that training is less important than meeting people – casting directors, agents, producers, Hollywood parties, screenings, going to Sundance – the myth is strong that success is based primarily in such networking activity. So why study?

Because whether you would say it out loud or not, there is something other than money and “success” that has driven you into acting. There is the thrill of performance, the ability to affect an audience, to create an emotional experience, to have an artistic experience yourself in performing – this is the true motivation. And in order to do this, you need to know what you’re doing. You need to be trained. You need to study. Hard”. - Beverly Hills Playhouse As mentioned before well-known gurus strongly impose various key methodologies to harness, mature and ultimately transform your craft. The Stanislavskis System, Lee Strasberg’s Method, Michael Chekhove and Uta Hagen are well known methods to any experienced actor.

us. To put it bluntly, no one wants to work with any person who presents such traits in their behavior; as I have seen time and time again, and it’s sad. Also when I look back, and even now, occasionally it still happens. I just thank my lucky stars instead of being bitter. My experiences here have also put me in a position, whereby I am more of a business-minded individual as I am also a producer too. So when you call me or mention my name, it better be that the deal is on the table and I need to be the one deciding if I want to do the film/TV screen-play or not.

I sincerely believe however, that all in all rejection is good for the soul, as it keeps you on your toes and gives you the ‘hunger’ to aspire for achieving greater goals. I believe that it’s really how one deals with rejection that determines the kind of person they will ultimately become. You can use rejection as a fuel to ‘skyrocket’ and become the most profound individual that anyone would ever hope to meet, or you can just ‘hit rock bottom’, quit and regret it later in life; causing you to subsequently become a very destructive individual to yourself, as well as all those around you.

Which Hollywood celebrity inspires you the most and why?

I would have to say at the moment Angelina Jolie hands-down, simply because she seems to connect with everyday people on an interpersonal level. For example, her humanitarian When did you start acting? work with the UN really allows her to reach Well, I started out acting professionally in 1994, far and wide, and she touches upon issues that where I played one of the lead roles in a TV others turn away from.

Interview with Oris Erhuero

The Inspirational Oris Erhuero rehearsals process, will also help in a big way.

Tell me about a time where you had difficulty turning yourself into a character?

What was the character? And why was it challenging?

I have just WRAPED shooting a major film in Ghana (West Africa), where I was for almost 3 months, called “The Cursed Ones“ , Directed by Nana Obiri Yeboah, whom in my opinion is one of the finest, most intelligent man I have ever come across in the business in a very long time. The movie, written by a very young, talented and up- coming writer hailing from Germany, via New York named MaximiIian Claussen, and an award winning Cinematographer, out of London, England called Nicholas K Lory. I have to say it was the most challenging role that I have ever encountered to date! Simply because for the first time in my life, I played a lead character, who had to carry the whole story of the film, from his initial point of view, in the beginning, to the very end as well; as being one of the Executive Producers of the film itself. So for me, every step I made during this screen production mattered.

Simply because I felt at the time, my entire life depended on it. I was to pay attention to every detail, every breath, every movement and every thought process carried out, from start to finish.

The film is a true and very thought-provoking depiction of exactly what’s happening in Africa in the present, in this our very modern/liberal day and age. The storyline underpins what has for a very long time, clearly been something that has followed and now still haunting most Africans in to the West today, on a very alarming scale; causing such irreversible physical, spiritual and emotional damage to so many, on a level beyond anything a world-wide audience would ever encounter and, or comprehend in their wildest of dreams; in the entire history of African Film Production and the entire African Cinematic Community, period. The plot centers closely around an innocent, unassuming child being accused of performing and participating in acts of Witch Craft, to an extent, which I believe is just completely and utterly out of this world! Without giving too much away, I played a journalist, a ‘physically’ strong man, and a very frustrated individual, whom had very little hope, confidence or self-belief; a man who had lost all hope in life, in himself and in humanity. A journalist whose life has resulted to writing about birthdays, funerals, and weddings, because even his own employer had no confidence in him telling or writing any story of major importance. And now, spontaneously he has been sent on an assignment to a small village, in the middle of Africa to cover an upcoming festival; only for things to take a whole different course of events. I embody a very different character in this role, from the kinds I have played in the past, and a very challenging one at that! I had to really destroy any form or ounce of ego that lay deep within me for that period of time, as well as to burry all my pre-conceived ideas and notions of the given environment and circumstances that I was to encounter, having been born, raised and cultured in Western Civilization, until this production ‘wrapped’!

The Leading Men characters I have played in Hollywood have been very ego driven characters, even some of the smallest of my past roles involved me, having to grapple with letting go of everything at its highest, purest level, one part I played in particular required me to gain a great deal of body weight, as this character was a very depressed individual. I had to do something I had never saw coming or experienced at all before in my life; as I am a very health conscious individual, and anyone who knows me, knows of how active and

Oris Erhuero/ Images by Rob Lapworth and his team http://www.deluxemedia.co/ physically fit I am, as well as just how much I also love to work out, as I am also a martial artist at heart, so I guess, that speaks for itself!

The second thing that I needed to consider, was the fact that I also had to do a lot of drinking beyond ‘the norm’, as this character drank a great deal and not just any drinking. Firstly, I am not the ‘drink one beer and am-out’ kind of guy that would hold on to a glass of wine and sip it slowly for hours as if making love to it, or even a good glass of brandy! As I cherish and respect these things and don’t believe in the abuse of alcohol consumption. I did however have to undergo a ‘using and abusing’ of alcohol period, however; we all know the dark path, down which alcohol abuse has led many people in history to also. I deeply struggle therefore, with the fact that my character was heavily indulging in this vice and using it as a clutch. I had to research the medical and scientific background behind the kind of alcohol consumed on the market that leads to depression and sadness of such a magnitude scale, because I found that my assigned character suffered depression to such great depths and on such a magnitude scale. A character that if in reality existed, I believe that I would honestly ‘struggle’ to get along with, or associate myself with. Please don’t t get me wrong, I would try my best too, as I don’t believe in stereotyping or passing judgement on others in any capacity; but let’s keep in mind I am only human and so, I am not perfect in any respect of the word.

I also had to develop a big stomach literally, in this particular character role; as the director knew of my modelling past and the action ‘tough guy roles’ Hollywood wants the likes of me to play these days, as of course, it’s the business I am in! The director knew that I am known for flaunting that more ‘macho’ side of myself in the media and knew I was a model in the past, as well as other characters I have played shirtless.

He insisted in spite of these factors however, that I lost ‘the six pack’ immediately, as he wanted a complete mega-transformation, from any of the character-roles I had played previously in my acting career. This was not something that I had anticipated or experienced prior; nor have I ever been expected to make such a vast and drastic transformation, in the process of conditioning both my body and mind set, over such a short duration of time; to the extent where even my sister, who is a Medical Doctor, expressed her concerns for my physical health. But although she knew I was more than capable

of doing what I needed to do for the role, she kept a close eye on things from a distance. I had to eat in excess, which proved to be very challenging for me. I have never had a big stomach; I also needed to cease taking part in all forms of physical exercise. I was fortunate to have been working under the care and guidance of a director of whom had the best interests of the entire cast at heart; both on a personable and psychological level. As he always appeared to be ten steps ahead of us all. I found that the professional relationship that he maintained with us all, as individual cast members was second to none; for he possessed the innate ability to understand the ability and meet the individual needs of each cast member. It was deep and beyond anything psychologically or any of us, even the writers and, or those watching on the side-lines had ever seen. As filming proceeded, the director would (from time to time), mentally challenge each and every one of us to deeply justify why we would make certain creative decisions or actions, til you could prove him wrong or he wasn’t having it any other way! To be honest, in my opinion, he was the perfect director.

I feel that I needed in my life to experience going down that road, and trusting his direction because in doing so, he made it clear that this will be the hardest character role I have ever played to date! Also, that if I can trust him, we will walk through this safe and sound. The Director knew also, that I am a natural-born Method Actor and saw that from the first time we met. I am the kind of actor that is willing to go the distance and to extreme lengths to get to the bottom of ‘that character’ by any means necessary!

He had to psychologically ‘break me down’ so badly, in order to get me to lose all of my inhibitions. I subsequently became a ‘broken down individual’; so much so, to the point where I would cry for days and hated him and at one point they couldn’t even get me out of the hotel room! I can honestly say, whole heartedly, that I became ‘this monstrous man’ and was ‘living’ as him 24/7! I never spoke to my family or any friends, for the almost 2 to 3 months. I spoke to absolutely nobody whatsoever. I literary cut off all ties and forms of communication with everyone in the West, and I became a pure and true, deep reclusive soul from that world.

I came to a place in my mind where, I didn’t want to know what was going on in the world or the news and nor did I care! I ‘switched’ my soul, lost it and traded it willingly; burying it in a place that was just so far, far away from anyone’s comprehension. I wanted to be able to resurrect this ‘dead’ character’s soul, before bringing it to life to the best of my ability. Trust me, when I say it was hell and incredibly difficult as the truth is, one can cross that line and never return if not careful! I have been to this kind of place in the past, when Idris Elba and I played very pivotal, dominant characters in the critically acclaimed, most talked about African movie of all time, by HBO films called “Sometimes in April”. The same company behind “Game of Thrones”; it was a film about the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, filmed in the actual locations where these atrocities took place, and I didn’t work or function properly after that film for a while, because I was so fully immersed in the characterization of my-then-role. But thanks to my Buddhist faith and spiritual path which I have been treading on for the last 8 or so years, that I am able to safely and confidently say that I can ‘swing’ back into reality without any break downs. This is sometimes the price I believe I have to pay as a method actor, as the technique works for me, and I swear by it, as it never let me down! I must advise any young actor however, or anyone thinking of just jumping out there wanting to play with this technique, to really think twice about wanting to use it and go ‘deeply’ into any character; for I would not advise any actor to go into it unless trained, and I mean well trained beyond humility

Get the BEST ADVICE

www.facebook.com/pages/ Oris-Erhuero/165235350279029 in a very safe, sound and confined environment, under the guidance of a very good, caring and trusting teacher, as well as them being someone, that will ‘catch you’ when you cross that line mentally, and in good time enough to restore, nurture and reserve the best of you, in order that you can continue in the pursuit of mastering your craft and still fully function as a human being in your daily life, as well as also for the purpose of performing other artistic roles as a Professional Actor. I took this part willingly and knowing exactly what I was getting myself into, and also for what the content of the film was about and was deeply concerned about these innocent children being accused unnecessarily, constantly persecuted for nothing, out of sheer ignorance and the lack of education and understanding of others. I therefore wanted to be the one that will tell the story and bring it greatly to the attention of everyone breathing on this planet Earth. I had this vision when I was initially offered the script, that this film and story will be seen by the 7 to 8 billion people supposedly living on this planet. I sincerely want to ensure that everyone is fully aware of this ignorance and determine this nonsense stops period. I believe that I was born to do what I do as an actor, and I am incredibly grateful for my platform, and I very much respect it, as well as I am aware of the price and responsibility that comes with this kind of role as an actor.

I also want to make explicitly clear that throughout this time, I was protected and in one of the safest and most beautiful environments any actor who knows their craft could have asked to be placed. The director and I went into Ghana early, ahead of all the other cast members, as I felt that I first needed to get accustomed to the land, the people, culture, customs, traditional dialects and atmosphere; in order for me to best fulfil the requirements of my role. I very much wanted to become one with that part of Africa, as to be able to get into the swing of things, as it were.

The Director was always monitoring me, at all times and had the key to my room and ‘that cave’ I would return to, when I wanted to be left alone and he was

incredibly good at bringing me in and out of it when he felt I was losing grasp of any concepts or was on the verge of crossing ‘that line’!

It was our little secret, I also mind you, could not be drunk at all times , because it was so important I maintained the human elements as an artist, as well as my full composure and discipline as a professional, in order for me to also avoid the suffering and the hellish state of the character’s mind-set and many demons that he regularly had to deal with.

Now, not too many actors or directors would agree with the approach and journey my Director and I took, and I respect their opinions, but for me it’s very important to be true and honest with every character I play, and I am willing to cross that line if needs be to get to the goal of what the director wants, in order to tell that story especially this kind of story , it’s bad enough people spend their hard-earned cash to go and see actors, and a bunch of us and our big fat egos on the screen every day. Only to then feel cheated and ripped-off, so I feel in my heart of hearts, it’s very important I at least try my very best to give them my absolute best performance to the best of my abilities at that when called upon, that I deliver period. Now let’s be very clear about this for anyone reading this; I never drank on set as is not something I would recommend at all, as also it was not allowed at all, but I did back in the hotel as to absorb the pain and whatwas commanded of the character. Nothing else! l am grateful to say, that despite all the odds against us prior to going out to Africa at the height of this socalled fear of an Ebola epidemic, we all pulled through and bonded in the most phenomenal way, with the locals and crew from all over the world, because our families and friends in the West feared the worst, as it was during the time that they were literally almost grounding all flights in and out of West Africa. The only fear I deeply had in my heart was that we may not have been able to shoot this film because of the fact that we couldn’t fly, simply due to the fact that reports became so twisted in the media that ‘the whole of Africa was infected’ with Ebola, and Africa suddenly became a ‘no-go’ zone, especially being out there and actually seeing things for myself, up-close and in person. I think that it was ridiculously sad to see how people on the plane were in genuine fear. It was just insane!

I think I would have just lost my patience and made my way in to Africa regardless, come hell or high tide if they stopped me from going to do it, out of fear of being infected by the virus. The truth is, I am an African myself, born in the West but have very strong roots and ties to Africa, and to be honest, it goes without saying, that there are more dangerous diseases in the West at this moment, not talked about, and one of them is ‘Fear’ and the other is ‘Ignorance’, and trust me, as funny as it all seems, they are a serious disease!

What sort of acting roles do you hope to take on in the future?

At this point in my life, I would love to do more true, powerful and, or biographical stories that would create value, touch and inspire so many people from all walks of life to have hope and to dream big! Because I have watched a lot of incredible performances and seen great stories over the years that have truly inspired me and shaped my life on so many levels. I want to follow that path and make sure I end mine that way too, as to inspire somebody, somewhere to say ‘wow...If he can do it, so can I’. As for me,

it’s the most incredible feeling to have kids who are now approaching adulthood, approaching me from all walks of life, with their inspirational testimonials; even some via Facebook saying how they use to rush home from school to watch my TV series and how they just couldn’t wait every week/evening to watch it. For me, that is the most incredible and rewarding feeling in the world for one to awake to and I am so grateful for that. I get the people approaching me to date, on a daily basis; still talking about the film “Sometimes in April” and you can see how they say things like, “thanks for that movie” and “the performance you gave”, as they never knew such a thing was happing in the world.

There has been a lot of talk of the likes of Idris Elba, someone you have worked with up-close and in person and you, not to mention a lot of other black actors; to play the coveted role of the next 007 especially since you are also British. What’s your take on that?

Well, as far as I`m concerned, I`m grateful and honored that the fans and the public would even see me or even imagine me in ‘that’ tuxedo! I have to say, I love and am a huge fan of Daniel Craig’s professional body of work. I don’t know him personally, however; he is on the list of one of my favorite actors in the world! And to be honest, he has taken the James Bond franchise to such incredible heights financially, creatively and quality-wise, and I thank him for doing such an amazing job, on behalf of such an incredibly, iconic figure.

And from a business prospective, the producers are very happy as well, with the fact that he has also signed on for one or two more series, I believe.

I won’t be too quick to jump the gun, and scream yet and have sleepless nights over it! But if I am offered the role and the chance at it tomorrow, you can rest assured and trust me, I would jump on it in a heartbeat and give it everything that I have within me, without a doubt, and I will have the world screaming for the next one thereafter! On that note I would leave that to the God’s and deities that follow and guide me in this life to decide, as They have been very good to me in life thus far, and as we know life is full of surprises, you just never know what you are going to find!

If you had to choose between Acting, Dj-ing or Design, which would be the best one for you and why? And how did all these things come about? What’s the connection?

It’s funny… I was one of those, and still am a very active individual; as I had said before, I was very deeply involved with the hip-hop and break-dancing scene, in London during the 80s, which took me to Djing automatically and then provided me with a great platform from which to transition into the New York and U.S. rap scene, where at one point I wanted to work for Def. Jam Records. This was when the likes of Rick Robin was one of the owners, as well as Russell Simons. I even went as far as appearing on Public Enemy`s second or third album. I believe my voice was on the chorus you hear on the track “She Watch Chanel Zero”. I hung out with the producers; I even appeared on a number of rap albums.

I always felt like the oddest guy in that world, then before you knew it, I was collecting and buying so many records, it started to cost me a lot to travel with them, as well as my turn tables. It got really expensive; but anyway, as time went on, a lot of people in New York begged me to carry on pursuing

https://www.facebook.com/ oriserhuerocouture acting, as they felt it’s where I belong. So that died a little in a very strange and ironic way. As one evening I was car jacked and shot 7 times and left for dead.

After coming out of a coma and 6 months later of recovery and healing, I meet a photographer in Miami called Azarbra from Canada, who talked me back in to acting, and said he will set me up with a couple of agencies in Milan, London, Paris and South Africa, to get a break from America and travel the world a bit, and make extra money modeling, and give me time to save money and move to Los Angeles. At that time there were barely any black guys modeling, and we are talking, in the early 90s, and before I knew it, I was doing endless modeling jobs and shooting with every photographer from Nike to You name it! It was just crazy. Mind you, almost a year prior, I would have been dead and buried somewhere in New York City. I was doing almost every runway show in Milan, Paris and Germany, doing all these major catalogues, and even then, I had been told to go into acting by everyone I was working with, and fast forward 1994…I landed my first acting role on a TV series via a commercial shoot in south Africa, which took me on for five years and the rest is history! In those years, I ran into one of the finest Award winning top African Designers, Adebayor Jones who introduced me to one of the finest top jewelry designers, also a fellow African and country man in Los Angeles called Chrisaire, who is one of the biggest high-fashion jewelry designers and stylists to all, and every star from Hollywood to presidents around the world. He said I was most welcome to come and work with him behind the scenes, selling for him, if I wasn’t busy with acting work and needed to make extra money.

I took him up on that offer in a heartbeat, as he knew I had lived in Europe and had been around some of the finest designers and understood the business.

That’s where the whole ‘jewelry thing’ came about, because he thought me so much! It’s crazy; so if I had to choose and stick with one thing, I don’t think it will be possible, as they all have a significant and meaningful role to play in who I am right now. Even now, I am in for playing Deep Tribal House Music, and getting requests to play all over the world, that’s if, of course I can find the time, and honestly they all complement each other in such a beautiful way, as every one of these paths have opened doors in a way beyond my wildest dreams. It’s like I went from a very dark moment and time in my life, and within the blink of an eye, branch into a world of all, and everything I have ever desired and I truly owe that to a God’s cause, I am grateful and very blessed.

What advice would you give to any young man or woman such as your daughter that wants to act?

Pretty face? Retouched pictures? And the size of your breasts and how much cleavage you want to show is not, and I repeat not going to get you through the doors in this game, or make you famous any sooner!

Because many have tried that and it isn’t and will never work. It might work for a minute or two, but it still requires one to work hard, hustle, pray and have a deep faith in whatever it is you choose to believe in.

And of course it’s imperative that one lives a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle with a serious love, respect and the willingness to give back and help as many Trend Privé Magazine 82

other people as possible in society.

I believe that is the key to success and where you will win not just in acting, but also in anything you put your heart and mind towards accomplishing, in this lifetime. I would also recommend the importance of finding a mentor and someone you deeply trust to guide you at the time of need because, take it from me, as a young, new and inexperienced actor, you will be thankful for and need all the help, genuine guidance and professional support you can get.

GREAT TIPS So, do you have a mentor? And if so, what is his or her name? And what words of wisdom would you like to share with all of us readers?

Yes, I do have a mentor and is someone that’s been of a great help and assistance to me, for the last 8 years.

I call him Sensei. He is from Japan, and his name is Diasaku Ikeda. He is 87 years of age and still, until this very moment, connects with me and many others just like me.

This setting of late, he shared with me and I will sincerely like to share with every one of you as I read it from time, in order to keep myself grounded and centered on what is most important to me in this life. I thank you all sincerely for reading and for your loyal support.

“FAME does not equal happiness, nor does it equal ability. Those who talk the supreme path of happiness known as faith are great artists of life.

Compared to this distinction, fame and

popularity are mere illusions; they are as fleeting as the images on a TV screen, which disappear when you turn off the set. There is absolutely no reason for you to let your happiness be governed by popularity and fame. Ordinary people are an example of those who have no fame, but are the most noble of all.”

Every second counts and if more time is spent towards your goal, you will have more chances and opportunities to celebrate your achievements in the future. Your life is like an investment — and the smarter the deals you execute, the more perspicacious of an investor you become. The truth is, in this industry it’s about staying focused and networking. Your motto is: “Go Big Or Go Home” and that is the right attitude to make it to the top! Bravo!

4 to 6 POINTS You can do it!

You`re a great actor /actress with a lot of confidence and potential. You`re in this industry because you`re great at it, but you might not last too long if you don`t get committed. It`s great to relax on your free time, but is it really necessary to relax each time you`re free? The road to success is not paved with massages and facials. I hate to break it to you, but unless you`re Leo DiCaprio, you need to chillax less. Sometimes you need to work even harder to get to the top and if you don’t have ambition now, you never will. Many celebrities spent many years building out thier success before they even took a break. Yes, don’t get lazy now! You can do it!

0 to 3 POINTS Get Focused!

A life of partying, heavy drugs or alcohol and pretty much having that YOLO attitude, will leave you flat on your ass. You need to get focused on your future and stop over-extending yourself with following the (wrong) crowd. You need to do what you’re supposed to be doing, which is taking care of yourself. Distinguish between what you want and what you actually need. Make sure your priorities are intact and don`t lose track. If you still don’t know what that is, then you better figure it out ASAP, because there are more motivated, well-rested and focused actors than you out there. Get it together and get on it!

DROP IT LIKE A SQUAT

By Lynda Clinton

Bodyweight Squat 1.

Begin with your feet; shoulder width apart and extend your arms straight so they are parallel with the ground.

2.

Next, send your hips backward slowly as the knees bend.

3.

Bend as low as your mobility allows, while keeping your bodyweight in your heels.

4.

Explode back up to the standing position, and then repeat!

Tip: Start with bodyweight to properly learn how to master the correct form and depth.

Sumo Squat with Bicep Curl 1. Stand with your feet slightly wider than hipwidth apart. Point your toes outward, while holding a pair of dumbbells at your side.

2.

Next, bend your knees until your thighs beco-

me parallel to the floor.

Basic Squat with Leg Lift 1. Start with your feet shoulder

3.

Lastly, push yourself back up to your original

Tip: Squeeze your glutes and keep your core tight when coming up from the sumo squat.

width apart like you would with a regular squat.

2.

4.

Return back to the squat posi-

tion and repeat!

Tip: For beginners, start with a small leg lift and gradually work your way up to a higher leg lift.

Lingerie That Lifts www.soulevant.com by I believe most women are like me; when we come home from a long day of work, we Tosha Cole want to take our dress clothes off and slip Clemens into something casual and comfy. But the market doesn’t give us very good choices.

Nightgowns and traditional lingerie can be sexy, but not very comfortable, and once you reach a certain age it gets hard to find nightgowns that flatter your figure. At the other extreme, we can go fully casual with pajamas or sweatpants. These offer the comfortable feel that our typical lingerie is missing, yet our sexy look is completely lost.

We need a solution to the traditional lingerie options we have. We need a garment we can wear day and night, made to make us look and feel great! Something we can wear without a bra and still feel comfortable around our family, or answering the door.

Soulevant is the solution to all of our problems. Soulevant has taken the concept of the predictable chemise and created a garment that is versatile enough for day and night wear. No more worrying about not having a bra on. Soulevant has a custom designed built-in wire-free bra that is shaped and formed to lift you up and keep you fully covered! Not only are you fully supported and covered, you are also being provided with soft, comfortable fabric, and you can choose among a variety of solid colors or vivid prints. All of their garments are machine washable, and easy to care for. They hang dry and don’t need ironing. And the fabric flows nicely without clinging to your body.

This brand is also “Made in the USA,” which allows them to closely monitor the production process and ultimately enables their customers to have the best construction

available.

Soulevant’s printed chemises are so beautiful, they are not just for indoors; you can wear them out as a sundress or poolside cover-up. Soulevant has a mission to lift you up, both literally and spiritually!

I was pleased to speak with Linda, the owner of Soulevant, on her process of creating this brand.

What does the word Soulevant mean?

Linda: Soulevant is a French word, meaning “lifting up.”

What inspired you to start this collection?

Linda: I’ve always loved wearing pretty nightgowns and bathrobes. As time passed, I started looking for loungewear and sleepwear that had built-in support, but I was disappointed to find that there wasn’t really anything available. I designed a line of nightgowns and chemises with built-in bras, and matching robes that are stylish, attractive and comfortable for women of all ages and sizes.

What is your philosophy?

Linda: Support, Comfort, and Style. The support is our built-in bra. For comfort, we showcase materials that are soft to the touch and comfortable to wear without the restriction of an underwire. For style, we look for vibrant colors and prints that will make you feel beautiful and energized when you wear

them.

What are you most proud of with this collection?

Linda: That our brand is “Made in the USA”. We have also worked very hard to create a design that will give real support to women who need it. Most brands that claim to have built-in support actually offer a “shelf bra” that does not provide any real support to the average size woman.

Who is your brand for?

Linda: The real woman. Most brands design their products to fit runway models, who are not representative of their actual customers. We make a full range of sizes, from XS up to 2X, so that women of all sizes can wear our garments. We also use softer, stretch fabrics so that they fit a range of body types.

What is your background?

Linda: I am an artist, and a former art teacher. I took on this project through the eyes of a creative person. I visualized and sketched out designs of figure flattering chemises and nightgowns, and then worked to get the built-in support just right. I needed to touch every fabric and hand select every print.

What is your goal with this brand?

Linda: To bring out the confidence in every woman. I love it when customers try on our products, and you can see in their eyes that they love how they look and feel. At the end of the day, we all want that!

Interview with Australian actress Prèity Üupala

These days, the odds of finding such good qualities in actors are rare. It’s almost as if they are forced to be

A

s an actress and Beauty Queen, originally from Bondi Beach, in Sydney, Australia, Üupala is an actress, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, who cares

about the environment and is involved in a number of charities around the world. From becoming an International model and beauty queen, to starring as the lead in the award winning short film “The Hug”. After also appearing at the Asia Pacific Film Festival in 2010 with Jackie Chan, she received 3 very important awards.

I had the distinct honor of interviewing Üupala and I must say, she is one very hard working actress who really cares about her work and charities.

You’ve made a pretty big name for yourself in the acting world, but besides acting, philanthropy seems to be very close to your heart.

Thank you so much for your warm compliments. I genuinely appreciate it and am honored to be featured in your wonderful publication.

Absolutely, I have had an interest and passion in philanthropy and charities well before I ever started in the entertainment business. Having traveled all over the globe, especially in south-east of Asia really touched me, and I have been inspired to do what I can to help in some small way since. After a trip to Cambodia in 2009, I was really touched by the beautiful orphan children I saw, and was so inspired to do something in a big way when I truly “make it”. But then I realized that I cannot wait until then. I can start something right now, which I did. I hope to do a lot more fund raising in the next year. I feel that no matter what profession I have chosen for myself, I will always genuinely have the desire to help in some way. It is the most fulfilling and rewarding.

People seem to have this stigma about beauty and brains, and that you can’t have both. What would you say to that?

There has always been a social dichotomy on the topic of beauty and brains.

Trend Privé Magazine 106

the face of charities just to appease the general public or their managers/agents. But Australian actress

It’s a rare, but not entirely impossible occurrence.

The issue is that media places more value on beauty, making an impression that it alone is enough, which is simply not true in the bigger picture of life.

I believe you can genuinely have both. Outer Beauty is a result of genetics which one has no control over. But inner beauty can certainly be made to shine from the inside, making one truly attractive.

Intellectual capability or “brains” of course has to be cultivated. It’s not that it cannot be found as a ready combination, it’s just that the intellectual abilities need to be valued more so they can be developed in younger females. I view my academic achievements such as starting «The issue is university at 16, that media places being offered a more value on scholarship to study for a PHD beauty...» at 20, having two university degrees and speaking 5 languages as far more impressive than winning a beauty title or chosen to be the face of a brand. That is the value I place on it. Others may differ. Beyond beauty or brains, real beauty is, of course, the kindness of the heart and warmth of the soul.

As a previous beauty queen, what would you say the struggles were in getting your humanitarian efforts across, or were there any?

I was certainly able to get more attention as a result.

In my experiences, there have been no struggles to me generating any awareness to various causes that I support. There are many charities even in LA that always attach themselves to a celebrity and this is always welcomed. In fact I feel having the Hollywood connection makes it easier to fundraise for charities and there are always several galas in LA at an given time. For the Miss Earth pageant, I had teamed up with Beyond Water, a South African based organization and was successful at being their spokesperson and even today, continue to support them.

What do you love most about acting?

I find acting very spiritual. One has to be very present and in the moment, aware and mindful and

Prèity Üupala seems to defy those odds.

By Adrielyn Christi truthfully react to life. Meditation or spirituality shares these elements as well. I’ve never been one to like acting because I want to be someone other than myself or to escape real life, as a lot of actors do.

For me, I like it when I get to play unconventional characters, whether it is a comedy or a drama.

Someone who is sassy, in your face and a real character.

They are the most fun to play and it’s a joy to shoot.

I also like empowered, deep, strong roles where the character has something deep and meaningful to share and show. Such a role is cathartic and has an opportunity to transform, not just the audience but the actor playing the part too.

There are so many struggles today in other countries, especially with starving children. The violence to young women, with most recently in Africa, what do you think needs to be done to help combat these issues, not just from the U.S but from other countries as well?

Education and empowerment of women are always the most crucial steps that need to be taken if we are to reduce these socio-economic issues that lot of developed countries face. These women need to be shown the power and the strength that they do possess, not lack.

How old were you when you started in pageantry?

I actually got into it by accident. The founder of the Miss Earth Pageant in Australia had come across my modeling profile somewhere online and after coming to know about my charitable aspirations, she asked me if I would be interested in entering the upcoming miss earth Australia pageant. I had no real desire but saw it as an opportunity to contribute to a good cause (as each contestant had to team up with a charity). I was I’m my early 20’s and that’s how it all began. One thing led to another, and I got invited to participate in several other pageants all around the world.

When did the acting bug bite you?

By accident once again. I remember as a very young 8 year old, I was fascinated by Hollywood movies and movie stars. The first movie I remember seeing was with Marlon Brando and I just was so mesmerized by him and to this day he is my favorite actor. I never really pursued acting until in my twenties,

Things You Didn`t Know About The

well after giving up my profession as an investment banker. I went to a Stanislavsky Method Acting Class in Sydney, taught by a Russian theatre teacher, and just fell in love with it. It was at a time when I was exploring what I truly wanted to do with my gifts and it came to me very organically and gradually. I found the method very spiritual and resonated with it. My path to Hollywood is very unique to most actors as I never undertook drama at school, never acted and never had any aspirations in this industry. I changed careers and pursued it later in life, after having had a lot of other corporate and life experiences. It adds many more layers to me as an actor as a result.

You’ve met so many other celebrities, which one would you say inspires you the most and why?

There is not any single person I can mention, but several wonderful celebrities. I had the great privilege of seeing Andrea Bocelli, the famous opera singer, many times in concerts and even met him in person. He is truly graceful and humble and despite his obvious shortcoming in life, managed to pursue his passion. I will also never forget Stevie Wonder play at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and no kidding, the whole room was vibrating with ecstasy, moved by the beats. I am always inspired by such artists, who despite great shortcomings have pushed ahead anyway and pursued their dreams. There are many celebrities out there: the great Jackie Chan is forever charming and graceful. Actors like Matt Damon have really taken their celebrity hood and used it for a higher cause. One of the older actresses I really admire is Shirley McLaine who was a very deep, authentic, highly evolved actress. She would write mystical books on set while waiting to shoot her scene and explored spirituality at a time when it was fairly new to the West. She was a trail blazer for women in Hollywood.

How does it make you feel when you’ve been awarded with prestigious awards and accolades for your efforts?

It feels very fulfilling and rewarding to be recognized on any level for hard work and achievements.

For me personally, I gave up a lucrative career in investment banking to be in this business, so there is a payback for sure.

I am sure every artist has days where there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I am no different. So it’s really uplifting when you do have successes.

You know you are on the right path fulfilling your Dharma-life purpose. I love to work hard-it’s just my nature and I’ve always been like that even as a child. It’s really icing on the cake, but you don’t put all the effort in just for the accolades. It’s the subtle sweetness of my success that I cherish so much.

I have had the great privilege of being rewarded and recognized in several countries outside of my home town. It’s always humbling when people of other cultures celebrate you. I will never forget the time when I was awarded 3 film awards in China, presented by the great Jackie Chan himself. Being in a foreign country for the first time, and having that kind of adulation, will be an unforgettable moment for me. Or having the media go crazy in Moscow, after I finished a speech I’m Russian language. These are moments that will forever be in my heart.

You are a very accomplished and strong woman and being so, what would you say to other women out there that feel they can’t have or do it all?

Acting Industry

Extorting Theaters Ever wondered why popcorn, something that costs $.25 a bag on Planet Earth, costs $7 at the movies? Here’s a hint: it’s not because of the reconstituted pig flesh that they call butter.

Movie theaters have had to look for more and more ways to increase revenue, like jacking up the prices of things at the concessions stand and adding a dozen ads to the beginning of each film. Why, when new releases are constantly breaking records and making obscene amounts of money? Because film studios don’t like the theaters getting their beak wet.

Movie theaters operate on a kind of sliding scale. The first weekend of a movie’s release, the profit is split heavily in the studio’s favor, typically around an 80/20 split. The second weekend,

There is a saying, “whether you think you can, or you cannot, you are right”! I have always lived by this principle. What one is able to manifest in one’s life, is a result of their belief system, expectations; what they think they deserve or what they are worth. I feel fear is the only thing that comes in the way of people achieving whatever they desire.

I thank my parents for an upbringing filled with love and support. They never made me feel as if I could not achieve anything I set my mind to and I was never made aware of life’s limitations and society standards of what one can have or not. As a result I grew up believing I can be, have or do anything I truly want.

As an adult, I catch myself at the self-imposed limitations I set myself. I really try to balance my life-my work, spiritual well-being and social life.

Women should learn to empower themselves and know that through hard work, focus and passion they truly can have it all. You must believe in yourself.

it may change to a 70/30 scale, and so on. It’s even rumored that some major blockbuster films like Avatar are released with 90/10 or even 95/5 splits. Now keep in mind that exceptionally few films do very well after the first week of their release.

So why do the theaters take these awful deals? Because if they don’t, the studio is under no obligation to lease their films to that theater, so they can just totally bounce if they want to. If that happens, the theater has no films to show at all, and then what have they got to draw people in? Overpriced hot dogs?

Tricky Hollywood Accounting Here’s a basic example of Hollywood Accounting: A studio makes a movie. The studio distributes the movie itself, and although the distributor is technically a separate company, they both belong to the same parent company. Also, the distribution arm sets whatever fees it wants. If they want to charge them-

What are your goals and plans for 2015?

I expect a grand year in 2015. I feel it will be a year where I truly launch myself globally. I have sown a lot of seeds over the years and hope to see the fruits.

I see myself taking a more entrepreneurial approach to my career where I develop and produce my own content about things I am passionate about. The most important goals for me are of course in my spiritual endeavors. To find more balance in my life, be more mindful and present, express myself more freely, find more passion and be more of my authentic self. I would like to travel to even more exotic places in the world and have more mystical experiences. It will be a great year.

Any big plans for a big feature film next year?

I continue to audition for and manifest the right roles in 2015. I have been approached by a few writers about some TV projects as well, so 2015 might see me on some interesting shows.

I have no doubt next year will be the most exciting, magical and prosperous year ever for me and I welcome it with open arms.

selves eleventh quintillion dollars for distribution, they totally can. Then, even if the film earns billions of dollars in box office receipts, they’re still technically in debt (to themselves) and thus haven’t turned a profit. Sound ridiculous? It happens all the freaking time. David Prowse, the guy who was in the Darth Vader costume in the original trilogy of Star Wars (before being ousted by that douche Hayden Christensen in the special edition) has never been paid for Return of the Jedi because it hasn’t turned a profit after nearly 30 years. That’s after dozens of home video and theatrical re-releases. (All the merchandising money goes to Lucas directly, of course.) Similarly, someone leaked Warner Bros.’ accounting sheet for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix onto the internet, showing that the film that had grossed about $1 billion worldwide had lost $167 million on paper.

Kat Van Derham In the “Land of Broken Dreams” with Katarina Van Derham

By Stacey Blanchet The Hollywood sign is where dreams and suicides go hand in hand. The road is paved with those who came and couldn’t conquer the harsh life of Hollywood. Books and movies beg you to come and try. How did SHE become the most successful Slovak in Hollywood?

Katarina Van Derham walked the red carpets arm-in-arm with famous rock gods from her humble beginnings in Slovakia. She captured our imagination on the covers of magazines around the world. She has lit up television and movie screens. She is living the life of glitter and gold. Only in our imagination can we dream Katarina’s reality!

Trend Privé Magazine 116

What is the land of Hollywood really like?

Hollywood offers one almost everything. There is glitz and glam with paparazzi everywhere; the people are always beautiful and fabulous. No one really admits how they truly feel. Contrast that life to the life of the homeless people who once may have tried out to be the next Brad Pitt but lost their dream. Either their ego didn’t let them do anything else in life or they simply just gave up. The list goes on… even if you do get to the top, staying there is even trickier. The minute you get noticed, the pressure is ON and “You are only as good as your last Facebook post”, so they say! The ones who sustain their careers are the ones who at some point start creating their own projects.

What do you like about Hollywood?

What is your favorite type of event to attend?

I like star studded events because people there are for the most part content with themselves and don’t judge. It’s a good networking crowd and you can learn a lot. I always had a problem with judgmental people and with people who like to spread negativity and their ignorant opinions even if no one had asked. In Hollywood for the most part people will encourage you, support you and get excited for you. They are so focused on themselves that they have no time to criticize others. I love that. Everyone should mind their own business and enjoy the short time they get in this lifetime.

more acting in my 50’s when I can get more serious roles.

You started Viva Glam 2 years ago as the publisher and editor. Why did you enter into the magazine world?

I always wanted to do a business. Build a brand that would impact people in a positive way. The magazine fit with my background in modeling, beauty, graphic design, photography, PR and marketing. VIVA GLAM doesn’t judge! It gives opportunity to women and brands they can’t get anywhere else. It is an uplifting glamorous publication. In the plans for VIVA GLAM are programs for women who want to live life to her fullest potential.

What are your new dreams?

My focus now is making VIVA GLAM a successful brand. I feel content in all the other areas of my life.

I am very grateful for everything I’ve accomplished because my journey wasn’t easy. When I came to the United States, I worked very hard to get where I am now.

What is your goal for humanity and how do you plan to be a part of it?

You have dated Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro and DJ Ashba? Why the fascination with Rock Gods? What is life like with them?

I have always liked rock music. Even when I still lived in Slovakia, I would listen to 80’s rock. And as we (Hollywood people) say: “Alike attracts alike”, it just makes sense I attracted them. I’m a hopeless romantic just as musicians are and deep inside I’m a rock star myself. I loved traveling and being on tour with Tommy. It was lots of fun. I like their lifestyle, always doing something exciting. Who wouldn’t like that? Boredom scares me and since I’m an artist, I like being around creative minds. I loved being around them when they were writing songs and then a few months later you hear them on the radio – those songs will forever have a special meaning to me.

You have conquered the modeling world, television and movies. What projects will we see you in next?

I wouldn’t say I’ve conquered any of those yet. I just like to do things that I enjoy at the moment. If it’s a movie role I like, I take it and enjoy being a part of the creative process. I love working with a team of competent people. In modeling I like the same. I like when I become someone’s muse. I always say I’m like Kate Moss. She doesn’t do anything for money she just enjoys being part of something cool. Oh yea, and she loves rock music too!

What are the key elements that you think made you able to make it in Hollywood where most do not succeed?

When I came to Hollywood, I took it slow. I didn’t rush into anything. Many girls become desperate because they feel they have a small window while they’re young. Because of this, they end up making lots of mistakes. I never felt the pressure of the industry. I started modeling and acting when I was twenty-six years old which means I was wiser than the very young girls. I actually think I will do better in my 40’s than I did in my 20’s. I would love to do

I am involved with many animal charities. As a vegetarian/vegan for 20 years, I want to contribute to changing the laws around the world. I don’t even kill a fly anymore. No one needs to eat or wear an animal. I say “Live and let live!” There are big changes happening around the world when it comes to animal testing, wearing fur and slaughter houses. It motivates me every day to always live by example and to be the change I want to see in the world.

The lights fade for most and the red carpet ends.

But, that is not Katarina’s story. In a culture where youth rules and plastic surgeons are your best friend, Katarina is showing us how to do Hollywood right.

Hollywood is called “The land of broken dreams” for a reason. For Katarina, the opposite became true.

She has reinvented herself over time by creating her own world of dreams, goals and projects. And, in her fulfilling her dreams and realizing her goals, Katarina has gone places beyond her imagination. There is no magic formula for Hollywood but Katarina’s path is a good example to emulate. You should have a positive attitude, be compassionate, stay true to yourself and create your own road map. Excellent job Katarina for showing us what is needed!

Interview with Jorge Ayala

by Adrielyn Christi Trend Prive Magazine`s Senior Fashion EditorAccessories

My 2014 Thanksgiving day wasn’t the average holiday that I’m normally used to observing, like one of those holidays that are spent either lounging around in your pajama’s and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or spending your morning preparing your holiday feast, while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I spent my morning doing neither one of those. I had the distinct pleasure of talking and meeting one of fashion world`s upcoming designers. Jorge Ayala not only started his career off with architectural building design, but has since transcended into one of Europe’s most diverse designers of both men and women’s clothing.

Based in Paris, Jorge has not only found a way to collaborate his skills and talent of architectural design,but with fashion design as well.

Jorge took some time to speak with me while on a special project in Tijuana Mexico on Thanksgiving morning.

Here is my interview with the great Jorge Ayala: Adrielyn: I’m so happy to talk to you and is an my honor, really, just by going over everything you’ve done and I mean, your work is impressive.

Jorge: Thank you so much.

Adrielyn: I just want to start out by thanking you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to me, especially on Thanksgiving Day. Are you doing anything special at all?

Jorge: No, I don’t think so. I’m working you know, with a few projects. Always working.

Adrielyn: Are you currently in Tijuana or San Diego?

Jorge: Right now I am in Tijuana, the Mexican side.

Adrielyn: So you say you’re working on a special project, right?

Jorge: Right. Basically I came over to develop a local artist residency, which is to come over and capture as much as I can in terms of Tijuana’s, let’s say “flair”, which is this kind of West Coast, very horizontal urban layout. There is a huge movement among graphic artists, which are here representing Mexican society and the connection Mexico has with the US and especially in LA and the border, so I’m kind of joining this movement in a way, and I am participating with a few cities and within their spaces, so my work is super kind of dense with digital patterns, so I’ve been creating those in an oversize scale. So, I’ve been very busy basically, and I am still doing that now, which is why I am here.

I’ve been placing a few of them on the border, you know with Mexico and the US, and then I’ve been placing them in town, in downtown Tijuana and some art galleries, have also housed a few of them, so it’s kind of narrowing or bringing all the thickness of my brand that was more of a social project, which I think is very important and fashion has turned into more of a catalyzer of social connections and cultural expressionism.

As a matter of fact, this was a way for me to start my company. So rather than just go into look-books in a very kind of European way, which is probably more of a traditional way for a brand; in my case I’m breaking the ice in an oversized kind of Jorge Ayala prints.

Adrielyn: Growing up, was there one thing or one person that lead you down your current path right now as far as leading you to art?

Jorge: Listen, a lot of people, I mean, I grew up in Mexico City and as a matter of fact, my family is not in the applied art practice. My father was a publicist and my mom worked for an American Co., but nevertheless, I was brought to art since I was young. I was playing

piano and I was doing painting already at that time, so all of those arts I did in Mexico City, and I think fashion was something I was always looking at, but I was always looking at more on the artist, the architectural side . I was looking at it from the composition and structure, you know, like the over all kinds of things, and that’s why I ended up going into study architecture. I went to study architecture in France .That’s when I discovered so many designers, so many people that were doing this bridge between both disciplines, (and I’m talking about Yamamoto, Issey Miyake), I’m talking about architects that were working within the worlds making a bridge that was working within both disciplines, that somehow gave me the conviction and courage to just pursue my message, and that`s what I think I’m doing right now, and I’m doing it my way.

Adrielyn: So you’ve been a pioneer in the architectural world using various types of arts, but what interests me is Landscape Urbanism. Can you explain that to me?

Jorge: Sure, I think first of all, the reason why I started doing this, is I didn’t want it to remain unacknowledged. I always thought to myself that if I was jumping on to a peril of discipline, as in this case clothing or landscape, I will go successfully on to it. Just because I don’t want to be considered, yet again, there is another architect that is trying to do things. There are a lot of Utopian projects for my professional project, and I’ve been through it, so I definitely want to take it to reality. I want the fashion industry to recognize me, and that I am able.

Adrielyn: So you say that when people ask you, if you want to be rich or famous, it just seems as though what you`re doing and your passion for what you have, you’re right, you can’t answer, because it’s neither one and because you love it so much. It’s the creative you have in you that makes you want to keep going and going.

Jorge: Absolutely yes. I’m just happy to be doing what I’m doing on a daily basis. Eventually that’s all what I’m seeking. Somehow the American vision of things is more about success, but in my case I’m just happy, I’m happy to wake up early

and one day things might not work, but still, one has to keep on going. I am very kind of realistic and skeptical guy, you know. I don’t know when I will be celebrating.

Adrielyn: What is your mission or your goal you wish to convey to the world?

Jorge: There are so many, but I think the more I keep going, the more I have Mexico in mind. Each of us has our own kind of catalyzer. Somehow the more current situation I see in my country, the more I see the current and potential of it, and the more I wish I can participate with.

Adrielyn: I could probably talk to you for hours, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me.

Ayala was such a treasure to speak with and so inspirational, not only in the world of fashion, but life in general.

For someone of his stature, he is a creative and visionary for the fashion industry, not only for Mexico, but the US and all over the world. For more information on Jorge Ayala, please visit http://www.ayalaparis.com

in the morning to produce and to able to set an environment to make my creativity exist.

Adrielyn: So when you started the fashion designing, what was the inspiration to merge the architectural designs into fashion. Is that something that is always on your mind?

Jorge: Well, I mean kind of. The way things broke to me, was when I was starting with this architectural practice, you know that I was playing with the body than with space, more so with the torso on the computer than with physical models. It was funny to me, because there were journalists or friends in the industry coming over to my studio in Paris, and they were asking for instance:”How much that scarf cost?” And it was funny because it was a competition for a facade for a museum and I said :”What?

It’s not a scarf, it’s a facade.” They were putting a monetary value on what to me was just the process of making art.

Adrielyn: You’re cutting edge. Do see any other designers coming up doing your type of work?

Jorge: Well, I mean, there are many fashion designers, probably a bunch that are trying to do architectural like or architecture flair within their designs (you know their brains form etc.), but none of them are actually architects, so that’s actually somehow a uniqueness of my brand, which is design entirely. I’m not even saying the clothes, but also the campaign of photographic, flair, the editing, the message behind.

Adrielyn: I have to ask you, the shoes that you collaborated on with United Nude are just out of this world, are these something that a woman could wear or are they just for art?

Jorge: I am very close friends with the found of United Nude, who is also an architect in the shoe realm. We have collaborated in many ways and in the teaching part; I believe the shoes are the gold ornamental ones you are talking about? They were displayed at the Louvre last month, and displayed along with other pieces of art. But yeah, those shoes have elements of United Nude feet, as well how to make them workable and then the whole ornamental design is part of my creation.

Adrielyn: I was reading that you collaborated with Louis Vuitton. Are you a regular collaborator?

Jorge: Yes with Louis Vuitton, we’ve done two collaborations, which were certainly some of the most interesting, I must say. Initially I was bit hesitant, because they are such a big brand and I am, you know, a small brand, so Louis Vuitton came to me after the post McQueen Agenda, and contacted me directly and said: ”Hey, we’ve seen you’ve done this in a theoretical way for the McQueen legacy, how would you want to collaborate with us?” We collaborated on window merchandising. It was an honor to work with them.

Adrielyn: I love your dresses and especially the bomber jacket. Can we find them in any US stores right now?

Jorge: I have so many meetings. I’m actually flying to Mexico City tomorrow to have a meeting with one of the stores there and then Saks, and hopefully we can make it to Saks. Otherwise, you can buy online.

Adrielyn: The US would love to have your clothing. What can we expect from you in the new year? Is this down time for you right now?

Jorge: I’m working on a furniture line which is based on all built, with an exotic nursery in Mexico, so basically the furniture will have a very organic, natural style, and will be painted by hand as well, which my digital prints are painted by hand. It will have a bench, a table and chair… It’s looking so beautiful. I’m also doing some lamps, which are also structural .They will be launched on the 26th of January in my store in Paris, which is in collaboration with a French lighting brand. So basically, I have no time down.

Adrielyn: With today being Thanksgiving, it’s fitting to ask you: what are you most thankful for?

Jorge: I think that is such an important way to thank for so many things, although I am working, I will go and have lunch and dinner with my acquaintances here, but definitely it’s a very special day to remember that one has to be thankful in many ways and uh, but among anything to remember that one should never take anything for granted, and I think that one day you can be very successful

MORE about Jorge Ayala “Jorge Ayala challenges architecture with a novel approach: body architecture.

His shoe designs evoke natural systems, shoes are seen as ornaments and ornaments are seen as prosthetics.

Having his own fashion label allowed Ayala to evolve pure experimentations towards a more realistic approach to product design. He instrumentalizes digital tools of architecture to develop avant-garde drawings, using various advanced techniques and tactics to materialize his designs. His unique style, is nourished by architecture, space, shape, matter.

Jorge Ayala is the founder of [Ay]A Studio, practice in Paris, dedicated to cutting edge research and experimentation. [Ay]A Studio engages different scopes, such as design, applied research and material experimentation, within a theoretical frame and onto a professional praxis.”
