Art Hall

This is my story, written by me, for you. I grew up in Pasadena, Maryland, and began to exhibit my interest in the arts at a very early age. From writing short stories and drawing comics in school, to programming simple story-driven games in QBasic, I was always fascinated with story telling. As I entered middle school, I took hold of the family VHS camera and began making short films and stop-motion films with my toys, casting myself and my neighborhood friends in various roles. It was not until I was cast in my high school production of "It's a Wonderful Life" that I discovered my love of the theatre. After that show I went on to appear in nearly every other production at Chesapeake High until my graduation. At the University of Maryland I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Performance while appearing in many of the Theatre Department's productions including "The Crucible," "SubUrbia," "Our Town," "Scapin," and "Standing on My Knees." Humblebrag time: while at college - and only 20 years old - I co-wrote/produced/starred and directed the independent feature-length comedy The Money Shot (2005), which is so bad it's good. Seriously. It's available on 2 disc DVD and coming soon to Amazon Prime Video if you don't believe me. After moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the industry, I continued my studies at the Howard Fine Studio and later completed the 2-year Meisner program at the William Alderson Acting Studio. I also expanded my stage work repertoire working with West Coast Ensemble, the Newport Theatre Arts Center, The Gallery Theatre in Anaheim, and the LA One-Minute Play Festival. I am a member of the Open Fist Theatre Company as well as their Director of Facilities.
