These changes often come with a price, and obstacles to overcome. These don’t have to be radical or always political, but are changes of the heart, which in turn can bolster waves of change. I love to see changes taking place in people’s lives, in families, communities, schools, all because of someone’s story or actions. Those who defy the odds, humbly make sacrifices, make things happen with no expectation of receiving credit, having the favor returned, or hoping it will go viral on YouTube. I’m inspired by ordinary people who do extraordinary things. I laughed, I cried, and it inspired me to write my first screenplay. It wasn’t until years later I looked back at those journals and was moved by the detail and emotion of such a young girl. I started to write in journals as a way of expressing my frustration by having to move so many times, leaving friends, neighbors, schools etc., As my journaling progressed, it became more detailed. When I was young, my family moved around a lot. What’s up next?: Just going to be a wife for a few weeks.FWM recently caught up with Writer and Director, Pamela Perrine, to discuss her new film “The Journeyman” starring Jay Mohr, and featuring the song, “The Last Day,” by Moby and Skylar Gray.įWM: When did discover your love for writing? What’s your biggest guilty pleasure?: Romantic comedies, the more perfectly tied up in a bow at the end, the better.

What show have you recommended to your friends?: I live in LA so I haven’t seen a play in a far too long.

#PAMELA GRAY WRITER MOVIE#
Who would play you in a movie about yourself and what would it be called?: Lee Remick, in a DVF wrap around dress. If you could work with anyone you’ve yet to work with, who would it be?: William Hurt What’s your favorite showtune?: I don’t know, different for different reasons, maybe "Children Will Listen". I also really enjoy working on new works, and works in development.Īny roles you’re dying to play?: I really have been able to play many of the classic roles I hoped to play, but I think I’d like to do a big fat musical. A writer like Howard Barker for instance, is like going on this ride in which seminal, poetic and irreverent observations will be made at any turn, they flow through you quickly – and touch you just enough to be pricked, but then you’re onto the next. What kind of theater speaks to you? What or who inspires you as an artist?: This changes with every new experience. This includes every element really, from lines, to physicality, vocal quality of the character. What is it like performing in rep in multiple shows? What are the challenges?: The challenge for me is the shifting of gears from one world to another, recalculating the head space. Who do you play in Judith and Scenes From An Execution?: I play Judith in Judith and Gina Rivera in Scenes from an Execution. Why theater?: Nothing more challenging, or more exciting than standing in the same room with the people who have come to see the story you’re part of telling and seeing what happens. Select Credits: Joanna in Present Laughter on Broadway, Anne Butley in Butley on Broadway, Agent Amy Tyler in "Sons of Anarchy", FX.
