Ep 58: Know Thy Self - Actor / Filmmaker Alex Mortensen

Nebraska native and current resident of Hollywood, CA, Alex Mortensen joins us on Cinematic Heartland: A Filmmaking Podcast. He tells us how stage fright actually led to his career in acting and filmmaking and how he takes on a lot of different responsibilities in front of and behind the camera to move his career ahead and meet more people in the industry. His background was in athletics coming up through high school and college but he sees many parallels between athletics and the arts. Do you know what Scene Study Classes are? I didn’t so I was very interested to hear what they are and his experiences with them.

We also delve deep on acting, improv, and how important listening is while acting and in daily life.
