Meet The Fourteen - Toni Ann DeNoble
Meet The Fourteen interview, whaaaaaaat!?!?!?
I know right! This was shot during Intensives Week, and I've been super lazy, so it's only coming to you now, but it's good and it features the imagininja, Toni Ann DeNoble.
I'm working on editing another interview right now, hopefully I'll have it ready for tomorrow!

Meet The Fourteen - Jeena Yi
Finally!!! More of the girls, right!?!?!?
Today's interview is with Ms. Jeena Yi. Jeena is a truly wonderful, genuine and heart-warming woman. She's one of my favorite parts of the day. Whenever we are working, the look on her face is like a child at play. You may know what I'm talking about. I have some young cousins who will play in the back yard whenever I am with my family at home. They are all under ten and they all have the most expressive, brazenly joyful faces, because everything is so amazing. Jeena is still connected to that, and as an adult, I think that's a rare, wondrous thing. I don't see it often, but I now see it on a daily basis. But enough of my opinions, I'll let her speak for herself... for a little bit. Enjoy!
So, in case you weren't taking notes, boys:
1) Tell her she looks like a tree.
2) Cook.
3) and here's a secret fact, be a skinny-man in a suit... with a T.A.R.D.I.S., and you're sure to win her over.
... Spoilers.
Tomorrow, we celebrate Halloween a little early at Columbia. I'll try to take as many pictures as possible. Until then.

Meet The Fourteen - Kevin Tobias Johnston
Have you met Kevin?
If you haven't, I'm sure you've seen him on stage playing everybody's little brother...
That's not true, and I'm sure that I'm going to get a slap for that tomorrow. Kevin hails from the sunny shores of Huntington Beach, California and was a classmate of mine at Cal State Fullerton. I couldn't be more excited to share this adventure with him; a fact that I try to communicate to him daily. I don't think I have enough words in my mental lexicon to fully express how much I love this man. I think you're going to love him too. Oh hell! You probably already know him and have rented out the pool house of your heart to him in hopes that he might wander into your kitchen during breakfast to say hello. I'll stop gushing and allow him to introduce himself to you, but after you're done with the video, make sure to come right back here for more gushing. It'll happen, trust me.
I promised you more gushing, didn't I? Wel, I could go on and on and on, and I will, just not in a public forum. I'm pretty sure our love is still illegal in forty-three states... maybe not truly, but, well you know!
He's like a tiny JFK.

Meet The Fourteen - Zarif Kabier Sadiqi
I'm really excited to continue to share with you some more of the members of the class. Today's interview is with one of my favorite human beings, Zarif Kabier Sadiqi. Zarif is one of the most thoughtful, compassionate and compelling people that I've the absolute honor of working with. I'm hope you'll really be as taken with him as I am... and, ladies, he's not hard on the eyes. I could go on for a while, but I'll let Zarif speak for himself. Enjoy!
My hope is that I'll be able to get at least another two interviews shot and posted this week. MAYBE some of the girls will choose to grace us with an interview?
Time will tell.

Meet The Fourteen - Phillip Shinn
It's Tuesday, and I thought I'd start the day off early with another of the Meet The Fourteen interviews. Today's interview features my go-to guy; a champion among men; Mr. Phillip Shinn. I hope that you like this guy as much as I do; if you don't, check your character-guage because it must be in sore need of recalibration. Speaking of recalibration, I apologize for the choppiness of the video, texts were going OFF on the phone, which only serves to remind me that I need to find a superior filming device.
Tomorrow will bring another interview,with the long-awaited Daniela Mastropietro. Until then.

Meet The Fourteen - Sophie Amoss
Here is the second of the Meet The Fourteen interviews starring the lovely Sophie Amoss and her side-kick, Bacchus. You may be saying to yourself, "I thought you said these would be posted Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays?" I did. I did say that, but I did the math on it and discovered that if I held to that schedule, it would take six weeks. SIX WEEKS!!! So I decided to speed it up a bit and release them when they become available. Tomorrow, mid-western heart-throb Phillip Shinn of F*ck You fame will be introducing himself. In the mean time, I'd like to introduce Sophie Amoss.

Meet The Fourteen - Matthew Dunivan
I was hoping to save this until tomorrow, but I'm just too excited to hold keep it all to myself. Here is the first of the 'Meet The Fourteen' interviews with none other than the one and only Matthew Dunivan. Dunny's a Northern California boy, I figure that was as good place as any to start us out! I'll be conducting more initial interviews drink the week and hope to normally have them uploaded every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Enjoy!
I'll be posting more interviews as they happen (hopefully about three times a week) and more video insights down the road.
