Jettisode 14 is about individual creative expectations. It might not seem like it at first but at it’s core Jett asks you to ask yourself, as an actor or filmmaker, why it is you do what you do and what do you expect to come from it? To me this is about as important a question as any of us in this “industry” can asks o...urselves. Do you act or make films because you want to be rich and famous? To pay the bills? Do you have a passion inside to entertain people? Make them laugh? Are you being realistic in your goals or the career track you’ve set for yourself? Have you even asked yourself these questions?

This Jettisode spawned from an email to Jett from a ShortFilmTexas.com member named Shannon who lives in Austin, Texas. In her late teens, Shannon had opportunities to pursue an acting career but life lead her in another direction. Flash forward to 20 years later and she now finds herself toying with the idea of throwing her hat back into the ring. Is it too late for her? Is there a “too late?” What steps does she take at this point in the game? What’s the motivation behind the rebirth of her interest in acting?

Take a look and listen. Then ask yourself what motivates you. What drives you to create? What are your creative expectations?Read More
