The First Answer Is Never the Final Word

Working from a 1936 Hollywood landmark that resembles an ocean liner, this notebook chronicles three years of producing multi-hour audio dramas. This visual memoir traces the messy "states of becoming" as dozens of actors cycle through the studio, caught between the "Daddy Issues" of their own lives and the roles they inhabit. The narrative balances the grounded, ego-driven reality of aspiring artists with the surreal whimsy of an adaptation of Pinocchio—a "survival fairy tale.” Featuring scanned notebook pages partially obscured by pencil sketches, it is a record of the vanity-prone and the virtuous, captured in the fleeting moments before the performance ends and only the voices remain.
