I am always impressed by this next article highlighting actor/director/writer, Odell Ruffin. I met Odell at the Robey Theater. We were both acting in La Lotteria. Odell asked me to read for a stage reading he had written, Faces, a breast cancer series. The next project was titled IN-DICT-MENT a Mike Brown Project. If you haven't been spotting it by now, Odell Ruffin is an advocate. His belief is education through entertainment.
Ruffin has yet again written a wonderful new project, shooting in September, titled Love & Consequence. The web series is based on real life experiences. "The past affects the future. My experiences throughout my life, are the scars, the foundation where Love & Consequences is built on, " Ruffin smiles. The series takes these characters through their own challenges: violence, addiction, loss. "People will be able to engage in conversation after an episode," Ruffin states. The adventure on this project has been capturing both sides of love and trying successfully to put that in a format. As always Ruffin feels casting is key. For Love and Consequences, finding lead characters was not done traditionally. Casting consisted of an audition and a sit down interview that would finally decide the role.
Ruffin is acting in the film, which will be his next adventure. Having the vision for the project and able to be on camera will be a discovery.
All the elements are there for an attention getting series. Congratulations Odell Ruffin, can't wait to see the final product. Which by the way will be featuring me, JC Cadena, on Episode 1. The series consist of 5 episodes, 5 to 6 minutes each, slated for January 2016.
