So I've officially lived in LA for about four months now, and I'm starting to get a routine down. I audition whenever my manager sends me a script, and in my downtime, I'm making YouTube videos, writing, playing XBox, or hanging out with some new friends I've made. All in all, I'm still getting used to my new life, but it's fun, exciting, and frightening at the same time.
Also boring. It's very slow in Hollywood right now, and I only have roughly one audition a week as opposed to the usual three or four when it's busy. I just keep crossing my fingers, hoping I'll get something else.
I did some ADR work, which is basically dubbing my voice over dialogue in a film that I did. I did ADR for American Pie: Book of Love, and as a result, I got to see some of the footage. Verdict: it looks really, really funny. And that's not an exaggeration, or an ass-kissing remark to anyone who ends up reading this. I'm not saying this to appease producers and build hype up for the film. I honestly find it very funny. There's also buzz among the producers at Universal that this is the best "Pie" film since the original three, and it's the closest, in heart, to the first one. Seeing the footage, I agree with them.
Maybe I'm biased, because I had such a great experience making the movie, but I'm pretty sure I'm able to separate that and look at the movie objectively. It's coming out in December, and I can't wait to see the final cut when it's all done.
Other than that, I've started writing a script with a friend of mine. We have something really special, and already it's looking promising. I feel like I've wanted to write for a while, but I needed someone to bounce ideas off of.
Anyway, that's that. Just really excited, and I can't wait to finish it. It's a long haul, though.
That's pretty much it. Sorry for the sparse updates.
Bye-bye.

Sounds good man. So you're able to live off the money you made for the American Pie movie right now? Good luck on snagging another part.
I love reading these updates; I really do. Well, keep up it up and don't stop auditioning; EVER! Looking forward to the new "Pie" film.
Im not a fan of the "Pie" humor style, I'll just leave it at that. Bah! Maybe you can get some more parts in some other areas. Drama? Good luck on that script! I think most people know by now Hollywood will almost take anything! They need some good writing.
Hey.
We got the movie you were in "Bart go a Room" at the movie rent store I work at.
I found your review for the Gooby trailer to be one of the funniest things ever. I wish I could publish this comment in Comic Sans.
I'll definitely be stalking you on the net!
Hey Brandon. How do you go about writing a script/screen play? Is it just writing a story in an orderly movie format? Along with notes of the camera, sounds, and scenes?
Hey Brandon.
Just thought I should inform you that your 'Socks.' video brought joy to my lonely Friday night at home. Stupid stomach bug.
Also top marks for your 'It' video. The final moments scared the hell out of me.
Keep up the great work.
Hey Brandon,
I'm glad things are working out for you. I'm not a fan of the "Pie" franchise but I'm def looking forward to this one simply because you are in it. Take it as a complement, take it as kissing tail, just take it. Great work.
Are you and Edbassmaster getting back together?
