And just all the different types of people you meet. Stephen: I’m in this industry for the camaraderie of people coming together to make something. And so, it really feels like a dream realized and to get this here. But if you really love storytelling the way that we do, showing up to set and being able to coordinate with everyone on that set in order to make this art that you’ve all agreed is worth believing in is the most incredibly satisfactory thing. And that’s your only concern and that should be your only concern. It’s this wonderfully complex and emotional journey to be an actor but it’s also simple in that you show up and you’re just worried about what you’re doing on set. But speaking for myself acting is always going to be a passion of mine. James: I know that Stephen and I feel very similar about it all. How has that felt different from other projects you’ve been involved in? With this project, you guys are the directors, writers, producers and actors. People have shown so much love and it’s just reinforced our passion for this project. It’s gotten us really excited because everybody’s scared when they put themselves out there that they are going to get rejected or something negative will happen. It’s been really refreshing to see that we’ve been embraced and to see that people have been so supportive and amazing. You’re not hiding behind a role anymore and as an artist you’re putting yourself out there. When you’re connecting with people on Instagram Live and are spending a long time on social media to connect with people, you’re putting yourself out there. I struggle with being shy and I think social media was a scary thing. James: We’re naturally very guarded people and private people, I think. We were at Facebook the other day and learning something new and to me that’s interesting. James and I have done a crash course in social media. I think that having these resources now and being able to go Live and do this is fun to kind of connect.
We believe in everyone that’s involved in the team. For us it’s the heart behind our projects and that it’s very palpable. I think it cuts it down and you can get to the heart of certain people. It doesn’t have to necessarily be from this whole brand or image that’s been put up by publicists and only doing certain interviews at certain places. I’ve always had this relationship with social media of “what am I going to do with it and how much do I keep a mystery of myself.” The potential of social media is that you can directly engage with those people. Stephen: I feel like I’m evolving in a healthy way just because of where our media has gone over the course of the last 10 years. How has it felt interacting with fans on Instagram Live and putting yourselves out there in a different way? We had a chance to interview James and Stephen about “Everyone is Doing Great” and get some insight to their project. The television pilot also stars Alexandra Park (“The Royals”) and Cariba Heine (“Home and Away”). The half-hour comedy follows struggling actors Seth (Colletti) and Jeremy (Lafferty), who enjoyed relative success from “Eternal,” a fictional hit television vampire drama but, five years later, are trying to reclaim their previous level of success and relevance, while awkwardly navigating the perils of life and love amidst a humorously painful coming of age.
