Meet Some A&C Talent: Jai Moi, Actor/Director

Another essay…I wish I could say I like these things but I don’t. I am what happened when the elements and the color blue collided. Earthy, eclectic, humanitarian, pleasant and just a chill demeanor yet I have a fire burning inside that I can’t extinguish for my art. I was born to be a singer and have been singing since I can recall. I have been writing poetry and short stories since grade school. Those are my passions — music and creative writing. It wasn’t until much later in life that I realized that I was a looker…or at least that’s what people told me and that I look good on camera and film. I had the thickest glasses known to man in high school. So that’s all everyone could see and that’s all I could see. And since I am blind as a bat without my glasses or my contacts, I refused to take my glasses off. Eh…long story short. It wasn’t until I began my indie artist career that I developed a fondness for being in front of the camera.

In the 70′s and 80′s I grew up with a skateboard and a soccer ball at my feet, comic books in my hands and loud angry punk rock in my ears. I’m what you get when you cross a Scot with a Swede. I’m one of those idiots that wears his heart on his sleeve. Fueled by passion and desire.

Actors, What Kind of Success Do You Want?

success

In the span of two hours I was referred to as a “semi-celebrity,” and had a woman write me asking “Who are you?” (Why she bothered to write is entirely a mystery, but hey…) Still, it did illustrate the murky waters of notoriety actors can swim in. Somewhere circling amongst the “A-listers,” the “has beens,” and the “never should have beens” are the “aren’t you?… no, never minds.”

In the acting life, there is also a falling shadow, and it comes between the gig and the screening. Between the filming and the airing… Theater is different, of course, but for now let’s stick to the world of screens. After you walk off set for the last day, there’s a good chance you won’t see your work for months, if not even years, or if ever.

The Mindset Change of Social Media

authorwill

I was recently interviewed for a blog and was asked about using social media for marketing a film. It really got me thinking about that question. Is that all most filmmakers see social media being used for? One big promotional effort only to be used when they are looking to sell something? I think within 10 years this will be a non issue as everyone will be adapted to social media. Those who have refused to start will be so left out it will be like the people who held out on rotary phones and terrestrial TV signals.

Using #Pinterest as a tool for your #Film #Marketing

pinterest-blow-dryer-done-52

Speaking of Pinterest…I only recently started using it for the Joffrey project which is why all of my boards are devoted to that. Looking at them gives a good idea on the kind of thing you could use it for on your production. In my workshop presentations, I talk about posting regularly on your social channels and not just information directly about your film, but also about the interests of your audience; those who would be a fan of your film and of yourself as an artist. I am using the boards to show Joffrey history through pictures and videos. The ballets they created, the ballets they revived, their alumni dancers, Robert Joffrey through the years as well as photos of the merchandise available to buy through our site. It’s a balance of audience interest and promotion for the film.
