Before I go any further, I need to first say that these are raw photos--but, come on; even unedited, @santorosnaps takes some killer photos, am I right? Also, while not shown in this batch, I left the studio with plenty of more traditional headshots to choose from.
Many wonderful photographers have stolen my soul with their magic boxes, and I have used their hard work to try to entice casting directors to let me read for parts. As I look at many of my headshots, they seem to suggest a confident, even stoic fellow who could operate on you or expertly defend you in court.
However, the parts I have played--the ones I have enjoyed the most--have been men more like me: broken, healing, se;f-conscious, longing, and needy.
So I challenged Michele to capture that in her studio. I am overwhelmed by the number of photos she took that show the man I see when I look in the mirror. This is just a filet, an appetizer, all taken in the same two-hour session.
She shoots like a filmmaker with a story to tell, and she treats her clients with care and respect. I could not recommend a session with her enough.

The mustache grows and goes, but @luciek_photography @lkportrait_atl and @lucie.keen.studios are here to stay.
If I were the person in charge of headshots, I’d want people to use photos like this.

Check out the breakdowns on @actorsaccess to submit.

[PHOTOGRAPHER] Male, White, 30s–40s. Neurotic. Nerdy. The kind of guy whose intensity reads as off-putting before it reads as principled. He moves through the world like someone who has spent a lot of time being underestimated and has learned to use it. Beneath the awkward exterior is someone who believes deeply in what he's doing, even if you'd never guess it from looking at him. DAY PLAYER, Works May 28, 2026

[BARTENDER] Male, any ethnicity, 20s–40s. Friendly, the kind of person who keeps the lights low and the conversation easy. Not a bad guy — just someone who sees an opportunity before he sees a person. He's the type of guy to call the cops during a bar fight, instead of trying to break it up himself. DAY PLAYER, Works June 1, 2026

Last year, three Atlanta indie features of various budgets played at @atlantafilmfestival to great fanfare - @colorbookfilm , @withdrawalfilm , and @metatakeonefilm . During their 2025 panel discussions, we learned how they got the money to make their films, their unique production processes, and the hurdles they had to overcome to finish their features. This year, they share how they navigated the festival circuit, hunted for distribution, and dealt with negotiation and team dynamics. And of course, we ask the standard question - What Now?

Moderator: Michael Mau

Panelists: @bydave_fortune (Director), @kiah.alexandria (Actor, Producer), @johndierre (Writer, Director), @madfi_atl , (Writer, Director), and @strandedonstage (Writer, Director)

Never-before-seen screen test images of @themichaelmau with the iconic Bunnyman mask from Sugarcane. 😨

It's getting cloooooser. In less than two weeks, you're going to get such a treat with this stacked panel of multi-hyphenates, all of whom have a film in the @atlantafilmfestival–as an actor, writer, producer or all three.
Mark my words, we are at the beginning of a low-budget indie filmmaking renaissance, and these panelists are donning their feather caps and poet shirts (that's the Renaissance, right?).
Join me, along with @therealdealisrael @katerina_eichenberger ainsleyseiger @kurtyue and @delaneykeith , five SAG-AFTRA actors with solid resumes as we discuss their relationship with the indie scene, what draws them to projects, how they create opportunities for themselves, and where they want to take independent cinema.
Sponsored by @sagaftra , this panel should be a must-add to your Creative Conference schedule. April 30, 3:30.
ALSO, join us afterwards in the lobby of @thetaraatlanta for Cocktails and Conversations.

There’s still room for you in the Fundamentals of Writing for the Screen workshop with @themichaelmau @studiosouthatlga

We will be meeting from 1-4pm Saturdays for one month, starting April 18.

We’ll explore the craft, turn ideas into scripts, and break a few rules along the way. Link in bio

Their feature films drew standing ovations at the 2025 @atlantafilmfestival and continued to earn accolades and awards.
What have these vanguard filmmakers been up to in the last year? What has become of their films?
From festivals to distribution to the daily grind of indie filmmaking, get the inside scoop, the stark reality, and the gory details.

While we are still in the midst of editing our short film, The Jennifer Variant, I jumped at the opportunity to use last week's @kick.the.ladder challenge to create a one-minute trailer with @spencerwastaken (who also shot the film).
Since it's KTL, there was a hitch: we could only use six video files. Soooo, we had to choose wisely in order to put together a trailer that attempts to make sense of this already psychedelic date movie starring @citizenkeane and @matthew_swift .
I asked Spencer to watch the trailer for @jimbyrkit 's Coherence, and I asked, "Okay, what's the movie about?" And that's pretty much how we created this one. Except I was out of town this week, so the KTL crew couldn't watch it live.
