CHRIS MILLER

CHRISTOPHER MILLER (1980 -- )------METHOD ACTOR/CREATIVE-------
Born In Port Macquarie, NSW, an inherint desire to analyze, emulate and express inspired me to pursue all aspects of creativity. A competent performer, musician and writer, I've had the privilege of training under an eclectic experience of acting tutors.
-Joan Garrett (RADA) Inspired the inner child and gentleman -Barbara Dempsey (Aus.) Allowed me to express my adolesence and rebel -Janys Hayes (Yat Malgram) Directed my "Fall from Grace", Tore my soul out and smeared it across the boards.
-Dr Ian Mcgrath (Aus.) Helped me find the "Importance of Being Ernest". -John Szencuk (Dramaturg) Introduced me to the Bard and instilled the respect of History. -Dr Michael Foster (Aus.) Reminded me to appreciate stillness and -Robbin Hynn (Lee Strasberg)) just gave me the shits, good for cleansing the soul though.
My range of life experience is one of balance, I have seen devine beauty in this world only equaled be raw, rancid tragedy, Yet I exist. A strong willed, caring man. On my journey.
--- A Trained Method Actor. The universe has blessed me with experience, positive and negative, to draw upon in any given situation. I have witnessed a plethora of unique situations and understand there is much more to absorb.
I have catalogued, analyzed and transcended the painful memories and lessons I have learn't in my life. They are filed, retrievable data used not only as a map to the synchronicity of my life, but as a parallel to any Script or Screenplay.
I am devoted to my Craft, Professional in all creative environments and committed for life.Welcome to my page. This is the template for the rest of my journey. Enjoy. It will grow and develop untill it is the best damn self promotional tool it can be.
BE LEGENDARY, APPEAR COMPLEX, ACT EASY, RADIATE PRESENCE, SEEM A DREAM, PROVE REAL. I obsessed over this phrase for years. This site is the true begining of the PROVE REAL. Watch this space.
CHRIS MILLER - SHOW REELS (written/directed/performed)
The following film was written and directed by Michael Hearle in 1997. It is a tribute to tragedy. In retrospect; I was unaware of what a powerful statement we were making at the time. This film is set in Port Macquarie, N.S.W, Australia, Starring a youthful 17 year old Chris Miller.
INDIFFERENCE - Short Film (Archive 1997)
Employed as a Creative Consultant for "Salt Water Films & The Australian casting agency" I wrote, cast and directed the following scenes. Although the company met with the receivers due to the inappropriate conduct of the establishment, some wonderful creative synergy came to fruition.
The commitment and drive of the actors and staff involved was inspirational. Nearly all material from the company became evidence for the Criminal Investigation Bureau except for the following scenes. They are a reminder to those responsible for the demise of "Salt Water Films."
A MAN WITH A DREAM SHALL NOT BE DENIED
These scenes were shot and edited by - DIRK FULGER - as marketing tools and show reels for the actors on the books of "The Australian Casting Agency." These wonderful actors gave their all in an extremly tight shoot. (Some days in excess of 20hrs) Well done guys, you deserve more credit than was given in a difficult situation. This section is a tribute to your determination and drive. Never lose sight of your dreams.
NO AMOUNT OF DARK CAN EXTINGUISH EVEN THE FAINTEST LIGHT
Each of these scenes is another small insight into my mind and drawn from an experience or emulation of the emotional weight of a previous occurance. From our years as a child, through adolesence, emotions are engrained in our phyche.
Our future actions are dictated by past misfortune and guide us in avoiding repetition.
The broken family, an absolute rancid experience. It inspires independence and strength.
I've meditated on the concept of the perfect nuclear family and have come to the conclusion that I would have it no other way. Without the drawn out, gut wrenching emotion of my adolecence I would not be the strong, free thinking individual I am today. I also wouldn't be able to appreciate the beauty of my life pre-disestablishment.
A distant memories vibration lingers. River Beds, Mangrove forests and Imagination. Acres of Dreams. The first 8 years of my life were truly magic.
