Last but not least, @roled5.bsky.social. I am a huge believer in restorative justice & giving people benefit of doubt. A few years ago I had a poor experience on their channel, and not only did they rectify it, they became even more dedicated to progress and community. I love working with them.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

@mozzarelle.bsky.social is a person in this space I haven’t been able to spend nearly enough time with. The energy they bring to the table is generous and exciting, and I am thrilled to see someone so kind be nommed for Best Villain.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

The absolute wonder that is @danpyxel.bsky.social. All around delight of a person, and an incredible player. Getting to work with them was game changing. And guess what?? That same talent is all over their GMing too! @badhouserpg.bsky.social is COOKING over there 😍

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

I admit this one is a little selfish, @shellyvonmiller.bsky.social is an excellent human being but also I’ve somehow been on every season of her show so I have an unofficial stake in this one 😅 plus she’s a banger Poison Ivy #iykyk

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

And the creator of Tales Yet Told is a killer in their own right. @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social is a fantastic talent in the space, as a player, producer, GM or any of their other zillion hats. Well deserved.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

@talesyettold.com continues to absolutely smash the status quo. Support them now if you don’t already, you will only be rewarded with the finest art.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

A Season’s Oath is a beautiful project by @hausofdreams.bsky.social and dreamed up by @keichiokami.itch.io. Wonderful to see it shine here.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

An excellent producer and person, @jienbirb.bsky.social has been a huge support in this community for some time. Lovely to see their skills recognized.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

I recently got to game for the first time with @classicsamnygm.bsky.social and it was an instant connection! I love seeing the rise of Black and Brown players in the vamily/WoD community. Well done!!

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

@estelofimladris.bsky.social is excellence in a person shape. Literally everything he touches turns to gold and the emotion and heart they pour into their performances leave me breathless. He’s truly a wonder.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

@bruthaqueon.bsky.social is having a banner year. It has been such a pleasure to watch him flourish in this space, and I’m thrilled to see them get so much love from the community.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

Next, best indie player @valiantdorian.bsky.social. Working with Val on literally anything is an absolute dream, but his portrayal of The Tiger Lawyer blew me away. Randhir Villefort has my whole heart. Watch him GM next Wednesday in Gaming 4 Every Body!!

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

But I’m not here to just talk about my own stuff. Here are some folks I’d love to recognize, I’ll be casting my vote for them! First up, @stellaluna.tv @12sidedstudios.bsky.social Red Bull Table Tavern! This is a winning team, and this new way to enjoy the con was the highlight of my PAXU.

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· 21d

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· Jul 12

He replied and holy shit. The level of disgust I feel is… gigantic.

That is your right. If you're a good actor, sorry to see you go.

As for "indentifying" myself, I judge others based on their work and their character, not on immutable qualities they have no control over.

I cast 7 mixed or Black actors in traditionally white roles in The IceMan Cometh. I had no idea until after I had cast them that they were mixed and/or Black. I cast the best voices I could find. The one Black character I cast with a mixed White/Hispanic guy because he was the best voice.

I have been fortunate to receive many strong auditions from Black or mixed actors for this show. Art is art. Drama is meant to move and persuade. If one is neither moved or persuaded, the listener can vote with their feet (or turn off the headphone stream).

There are many, many productions today that reflect your POV. Almost none that reflect mine. I grew up reading and going to the library where I could encounter differing viewpoints.

I had a white actor I've worked with in The Father turn down Ackerman because she's a lesbian. That's up to her. She brilliantly played a horrible human being in The Father but she drew the line at portraying a lesbian. Again, that's up to her.

Btw: I do sincerely wish you audition because I work with people all the time who don't share my viewpoints. That's what people used to do. Coppola, who's on the left, works with John Voight and they don't agree politically. But they respect each other's work. They used to do that all the time in Hollywood before the town went far-left.

Anyway, best to you. I've tried to answer your inquiry honestly.

Best, Martin

I replied, explaining why I reached out and that his work wasn’t positive toward the people he’s asking to participate. I am so worried for the actors who said yes to this without understanding the source material or the intentions of the dude making it.

I think this reply is pretty dismissive to be honest. And not really open minded at all. I asked for more information on the make up of you and your team so I, as a Black actor pursuing this role in a play that by history’s account of the original, is about sensitive subject matter, could be comfortable. I wanted to know if Black people helped write this, had a hand in it, were sensitivity consultants on it. That’s not unfair or me making my mind up. That is me doing my due diligence.

The reason I asked is because comparing the mishandling and murder of countless Black Americans at the hands of police is not equal to the initial conceit, which was about contaminated water. Something which is fixable. I have been held at gunpoint by police for no reason other than being Black. Putting out a fictional work about this issue that is extremely serious without care and dedication to authenticity and buy in from your subject is a risk many Black actors might not want to take with you. That is likely why you are missing the mark on the number of good auditions you have.

It is a shame. I was looking forward to adding my voice to an interesting work of art but I can’t be a part of something that calls into question systemic racism and the realities I’ve faced in America. Especially when the person responsible for it makes up their mind about my intentions instead of offering helpful insight.

I hope you handle the next inquiry, should it arise, with more care.

Candace

Candace the Magnificent@thecandacemarie· Jul 12

When I wrote to the director to inquire about whether or not this was satire, if the research mentioned is real, did Black people work on it, this is what I received back. Not censoring so other actors can see it too.

Candace,

My free adaptation is loosely based on Harvard prof Roland Fryer, the youngest Black prof to get tenure, who was suspended for 2 yrs by Harvard on flimsy sexual harassment charges.

The character of Cloudine Bay is very loosely based on Claudine Gay formerly Dean of Harvard.

My free adaptation is completely a work of fiction.

From your email it's sounds like you've already made up your mind.

But you are certainly welcome to audition. I would love more strong candidates for all the roles, as I strive for excellence.

The deadline is: 7-15.

Best, Martin

Today I am celebrating the life of @pegjodi.bsky.social, who has lost her battle with Interstitial Lung Disease. Jodi was a wonderful person. Her loving heart welcomed so many people, and her smile could turn a bad day into a great one. She was an excellent friend, and a legendary wife and mother.

A short film I’m in is premiering at a film festival this Sunday! It is called The Mirror of Malevolence by Jared Ditman, and is entirely made up of hand painted marionettes. Such a cool, old school Burton-esque project. I’m so proud. Follow along here: youtube.com/@jaredditman... 11/23?
