2. LIVE AT PETE'S CANDY STORE -- "OPEN YOUR ARMS"

II. NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ABOUT MY ACTORS FILM SCHOOL PROGRAM
Friday, August 14th, 2009
The Journal News (A Gannett Paper)
"For Film Students, Reel Deal" by Theresa Juva
PORT CHESTER - For anyone who has ever dreamed of seeing their name on a movie marquee, Monroe Mann is already a fan.
Mann, a self-described "master of many trades," doesn't hesitate to give aspiring filmmakers reach-for-the-stars pep talks.
"If you want to be successful at something and it's your dream and passion, you can't come up with an excuse for failure," says the 31-year-old former military man, who runs Unstoppable Artists' Actors Film School out of a back room at his father's law firm on Westchester Avenue.
"You gotta fight, fight, fight. I learned that from the Army: don't give up, keep going," he says.
His current students will show their 12 short films to the public for the first time tomorrow at the Helen Mills Theater in Manhattan.
Mann, an actor, author, career consultant and Iraq war veteran, launched his own film school last year after realizing that most film schools don't give students all the skills they need to become a Hollywood bigwig. Some focus on acting and others focus on producing, but few offers lessons on turning talent into a real career," he says.
"Talent is assumed," he says. "That's great you're good, but so is everybody else and most everybody else doesn't succeed. What makes the difference is whether your attitude is better than the competition and if you have a better business sense."
During the 10-week course, students write scripts, shoot, and edit, and learn how to market a movie.
The village is the backdrop for the films, which include four- to seven-minute comedies, dramas, and a horror flick. Students shoot in downtown Port Chester and take advantage of the ethnic restaurants and waterfront.
"Any type of genre restaurant you need you can get without going more than two miles," Mann says. "Port Chester is central to anything. If we need big ships, we can go to Mamaroneck. If we need Ferraris, they are in Greenwich."
Mann wants to expand his school to feature-length film classes and plans to open his own entertainment law firm after he graduates from law school next year.
He acknowledges his high ambitions, but hopes his relentless attitude will inspire other artists.
"Be stubborn. Be delusional," he says. "You can't succeed in an entrepreneurial venture, or especially in show business, unless you are deluded into thinking you are somehow different--that you are going to be one of those elusive few who succeed."

IV. BATTLE CRY # 92: LOST TIME IS NEVER FOUND AGAIN.
(Excerpted from Monroe Mann's book, "Battle Cries for the Underdog")
Battle Cry: "Lost Time is Never Found Again" - Ben Franklin
Fightin' Words: "Something lost can usually be found. But not time. Time is one of the few precious resources in life that are a one-time use. Once lost--it's GONE. You can't stock up on it, find it again, or regain it. You can only manage it wisely or squander it wastefully. And often 'making up' for lost time is a lot harder than it sounds. If you aren't using your time as wisely and productively and efficiently as you should be, you're probably feeling pretty stressed right now--stressed, depressed, and filled with regret. Here's the solution--the first step in productive time management is realizing how much you can actually accomplish in one day. Start by implementing some of these simple and proven techniques: Get up an hour earlier. Stay up an hour later. Use daily to-do lists. Create six-month strives. Say 'no' to invitations that you really don't want to accept. Get out of situations that eat up your valuable time. Don't hang out with 'talkers'; hang out with 'doers'. Don't waste all your time watching TV. Keep a log each day of what you're doing each hour. All of these things will help you make the most of each of the day's passing moments. At the end of the day, most of your competition will have done nothing of significance. A rare few will have actually accomplished great things to be proud of. Be one of those few... every single day of your life." - Monroe Mann
