Updates from Lindsay

I shot a little student film last July with some folks at the Seattle Film Institute. Despite the different things I’ve shot over the past couple years, it is officially the first completed project that I have on DVD. And, as of a few days ago, it is now on YouTube for your entertainment! So enjoy ‘Sunday Afternoon’ in two short parts:

After a few weekends of filming in February, the folks at Sonnet Realm Films have put together a little behind the scenes peek at The Wizards of Daggordale! With original music and a host of fun characters, I’m confident you’ll enjoy this tidbit of what is to come. Remember: I’m the purple one!

Also, be sure to visit www.Daggordale.com for more good stuff about wizards Berandar and Eloilder, their music, and the film.

I have officially entered the audio world, with today’s release of my first audio play! You know, a radio play, but without the low-tech radio thingy. Diary of a Superfluous Man is presented by The McCroskey Memorial Internet Playhouse and is available as a free podcast on iTunes or can be downloaded direct from their website, theinternetplayhouse.com. I have a couple prominent, though brief scenes, but I am confident you will enjoy the entire play while waiting for my voice to appear. Here is the producer’s blurb:

An anti-romantic comedy in two acts, Diary of A Superfluous Man concerns the misadventures of Chulkaturin, a tax official of late Imperial Russia, who, in chasing an improbable romance with a young lady of good family, battles against both a Russian prince and a fate that decreed him at birth to be “an extraneous bolt in the machinery of eternity.”

Enjoy the show!

This self portrait of mine has been added to the collection of FILE Magazine, a website that collects unique photos: “Alternate takes, unconventional observations, odd angles — the photographs in the collection reinterpret traditional genres.” How cool is that? My first photo publication! Check it out here: i am angelic.

They’re in. There are three reviews for Seascape with Sharks and Dancer. Here’s a bit of the first:

Two Misfits Tell Stories That Reveal and Conceal

There is a scrappy, ragged appeal to this fringe production, executed with the kind of energy and raw talent that tends to outshine our city’s bigger, richer, more cautious theater companies.

Lindsay Erika Crain and Brandon Ryan give themselves completely to the rough-hewn give-and-take of Nigro’s dialogue, which is painfully attuned to the sticky games of revelation and concealment people can play with each other. Crain is fantastic as Tracy, the world-weary orphan with a forked tongue and a dark past. She plays the role just right, part nymph and part demon, avoiding the temptation to overdo the Girl, Interrupted act. As the play progresses, she just becomes stronger, depicting Tracy’s slow-burn disintegration with an edgy subtlety as immediate as it is haunting. Equally good is Ryan as the long-suffering, infinitely understanding Ben, the writer whose life is turned upside down and inside out by the appearance of this (to him) fascinatingly bent woman.
