Since there was a NO VIDEO rule I have a few high lights from the Q & A with Twilight’s Michael Welch. I have to say my favorite part was him reciting the “Arizona” line and his booty dance.
• Michael said he related to Mike Newton because they had a similar background. “Like Mike, I was in love with a girl who loved someone else, well maybe not a vampire.”
• Welch was asked if considered working behind the camera and he said he did consider directing but he realizes its more difficult than he realized. He likes knowing when he needs to show up and do his lines and leave. He is dabbling in writing but directing may be put on the shelves until later in life.
• When it comes to L.A. radio Welch is still saddened by the demise of Indie 103.1 so he listens to KROQ 106.7, 95.5 and 89.9 but no KIIS FM.
• Michael talks about the difference between plays, TV & Films. Plays are great but take up a lot of time for something not many people see, TV is so quick not enough time to really rehearsal or process and figure out the character. Film is split into 2 categories: Indie – no supervision and do what you want to do but no money for budget. Money crews are more corporate and focus groups. There is no perfect scenario.
• “I just want you to know I really appreciate this and just want to do good for you guys”, says Michael Welch.
I had a great time at the Q&A and just wish I was able to get some video to share!
