Micah Abna is a British actor and writer from Croydon. In this episode, we talk about his short film One Brother — how he wrote it, acted in it, and where the idea came from. We discuss mental health, knife crime, the ups and downs of acting, and dealing with rejection. He also shares what it was like working on a play with Wil Johnson, writing, casting, crowdfunding, and more.Instagram: @micahabnaCHAPTERS:00:00 - Coming up01:35 - Intro02:21 - COVID-1905:23 - Coming to acting10:21 - Working on "The Story of Flip Fraser" with Wil Johnson14:51 - Nerves16:00 - When are you ready?21:05 - Watching yourself on screen24:38 - Writing28:38 - Making "One Brother"41:38 - Festivals46:34 - Themes of "One Brother"48:27 - Mental health54:03 - Schizophrenia in the family1:03:26 - Take away from "One Brother"1:06:20 - Feature version1:09:05 - Dealing with rejection1:13:30 - Dream project1:14:45 - Toughest thing to go through1:21:22 - Mission in life1:24:41 - Universal advice1:26:39 - Lasting words1:33:33 - The endBeyond Reel Talk is a podcast where I invite entertainment industry professionals to ask them about their journey, their professions, challenges and motivation.#beyondreeltalk #interview #podcast #videopodcast
