“Our job as actors is to keep cutting through where we stop ourselves and being able to be curious and explore past the comfort zone of where we were yesterday or a moment ago. Once we begin that, we expand this relationship with our ability to express authentically all the layers that come with each and every human emotion.”

"Film-making is about translating psychologies into behavior. As a director, I felt a pragmatic need to comprehend the tools, techniques and emotions on the other side of the lens. Recommended by an actress-friend, I stumbled into Kimball Studio. Their technique - rooted in Ballistics - is urgent, discombobulating and violently educational. Like Kelly phrases it: A gym for your acting techniques. Limping out of that first day, I was a rich man and there was no looking back."
