This week I have asked Kelsey, who plays the Stage Manager to share her thoughts on “It’s Me, Matthew!”

An Actors Take- Kelsey’s View

As a friend of Michael’s, and an actor in his film, I’m very excited to see it all come together. I know how emotional this work has been for Michael, and how important it is for him to get his story out there. I feel it was really daring of him and it took a lot of courage to be able to tell such a personal tale. I hope, as I know he does, that it will help others that may find themselves in similar situations of abuse.

It was really interesting for me to see my friend take on the various roles of writer, producer, director, and actor. It was a long journey from the auditions to the final product. It was fascinating for me to see the detail given to each step. I’m glad I got the opportunity to work with Michael in this new type of dynamic for us and be a part of his project. His passion for this project is both motivating and inspiring.
