This group is for those who practice or are interested in learning more about the art of improvisation. This is more than ignoring the script... This is a form of theatre.

Thank You, IFP Phoenix

This evening, I had the very pleasant surprise of winning the award for "Best Writing" in the 4 Seasons Finals.

Our film, "Big Benevolent Wolf," has received far more honors than I ever expected. I would like to thank those who watched the film and still chose to vote for it. Either you have a delicious sense of irony or you're just really sick.

On behalf myself, "Stacy Wolf," and everyone else connected with the project, thank you.

Thanks for the request. Always glad to hobnob with a talented film maker. Can't wait to see how you top the WOLF. If you ever need an actor or VO artist think of me. I love producing but once an actor...
