FREAKSHOW by Adam Cerny

FREAKSHOW by Adam Cerny

Remember how fun it used to be to find “easter eggs” hidden within your favorite films? We’ve become a bit desensitized to that excitement, I feel. Now, we expect the little surprises. I like stories which retain a spirit of magic. It’s rare to find that very individual + personal honesty in storytelling nowadays. This unification of “method” under certain umbrellas (schools of thought) indoctrinate us into a pattern of imitating + resembling.

Storytelling can be a very personal, spiritual process. It’s a transcendental exercise of focused energy + intent. The act of telling a story is a process of movement in itself. It’s as much an “experience” for the actors + crew as it is for the audience…just, flipped.

A lot of audiences don’t know that their energy is read like a hawk from those on stage. This is why I believe storytelling + acting are deeply personal and sometimes private, processes. The “easter eggs” in my short films are hidden in plain sight. Once the egg is cracked open there is sweetness to find.

I’m a person like anyone else in the sense that I’m amazingly flawed + human. I have this “sordid past” of sorts… that only makes sense, right? Because we all do. We all have a freakshow within us where all of the rare oddities come out to play. This is where the conundrum starts: do I blend or stand out?

My Vedic Sagittarius moon wants to tell you to let your freak flag fly, proudly. My Tropical Capricorn moon wants me to tell you to reel it in. My Tropical Scorpio ascendant is going to show you everything you’re scared of, in yourself, through me. I serve as a mirror for your subconscious. I’m also going to tell you that it’s okay to show your flaws.

Because - who gets to decide “said attribute” is a flaw? Who decided flaws are inherently "bad"? Who? You? Me? Or is it just open season, for anyone? The answer is going to be different for everyone. While I preach a message of unity + oneness in this Universe, conversely I want to marry that with the self-awareness of being a separate being. Of expressing yourself through your body. We are all fragments of each other, searching for our way back to unity.

Take it easy on yourself. You won’t have all the answers + you’ll never get it all “right”. Sometimes you will, sometimes you won’t, and sometimes you’ll straddle the line between the two. And - you know what? That’s okay. Why? Because I said so. That’s why.

Enjoy the show!

YOUR BODY (fan request) by Adam Cerny

YOUR BODY (fan request) by Adam Cerny

Yes! I have had my first "fan request" to make a music video for YOUR BODY by Christina Aguilera. My fascination with visual beat recognition has grown considerably in the past few months.

I'd like to quickly answer a question the frequently comes up in regard to my videos where I'm creating art through dance + visuals.

QUESTION: Adam, why are you always naked in your videos? They're so sexy. Are you trying to send a message of provocation?

ADAM: Glad you asked! Although I'm not naked in THIS music video, I'm usually wearing very little, if any, clothing. I'll tell you why. Because - I want whoever is watching to know that the body they see doing all these visually contortions is ME. ALL OF ME. NO ONE ELSE. You can't hide when you're baring your skin.

QUESTION: But - it's a bit - slutty. Are you sure you're not an attention whore?

ADAM: If I wanted that, I'd post a video of me having sex. PERIOD. Does that clear things up for you?

QUESTION: (blank, emotionless stare)

ADAM: Great! Thanks for your time!

Sit back and dive in! 🎭💖

MIND MELT: MY FIRST SLUTTY MUSIC VIDEO OF 2018 by Adam Cerny

MIND MELT: MY FIRST SLUTTY MUSIC VIDEO OF 2018 by Adam Cerny

Working in the spiritual community, I've come to witness a collective pain. A confusion. 2018 began and a series of unexpected events unfolded in the lives of many people. We see what's not working. We have many karmic decisions to make, now, more than ever.

Here are some facts that will uplift your spirit. Let's consider what's going right. Yes? Every day, the number of people living in poverty goes down by 217,000. 325,000 more people gain access to electricity every day. 300,000 more gain access to clean drinking water. I'm using the 1960s as a point of reference. In the 1960s, the majority of humans had always been illiterate + lived in poverty. Now, fewer than 15% are illiterate, and fewer than 10% live in extreme poverty. In another 15 years, illiteracy + extreme poverty might become a thing of the past. 

I want you to think of your lineage, your ancestry + your relatives who worked so hard for the life you are living. In the 1950s, the U.S. had segregation, polio, bans on interracial marriage, gay sex, and birth control. The majority of the world lived under dictatorships. Two-thirds of parents had a child die before the age of five. We had stifling limits on women + faced a famine. Look how far we've come, people! 

-2015 ripped my soul apart.
-2016 almost killed me.
-2017 was utter fucking hell.
-2018 is a shit show, so far.

I have found a solution of sorts. It's minor. It's a tweak in the way we tell ourselves certain stories about what's going on. I'm trying this again. Watch me.

-2015 opened my eyes to several truths I had been denying.
-2016 tested my strength + resilience in a way I couldn't have imagined.
-2017, on a whole, was a rollercoaster of a life lesson. I learned so much. I took away only the good.
-2018 is steering me towards my path in life, which I have strayed from.

You see, the "sweet spot" of pain lies. It lives in the space created when life shifts you from one path to another. It's not about the destination. It's about the journey. If we can find our stillness in that transition space, we have a chance at attaining nirvana. If we can all lighten up a bit. Life doesn't have to pave our way through polarizing events.

QUESTION: Hey! How has 2018 been working out for you, so far?
ADAM: (long pause)
QUESTION: (clears throat) How has 2018 been working out for you, so far?
ADAM: I heard you the first time. I'm trying to find the right words.
QUESTION: I'll rephrase, what has 2018 felt like for you, so far?ADAM: Utterly confusing. Disjointed. Incohesize. Chaotic. 2018 started off to a bitch of a start. I speak for the collective, as well. Everyone seems to be in so much pain. If they aren't, they are hiding it very well. I can feel it for everyone, though. I can feel it everywhere. Confusion paints many situations I've encountered. That's what 2018 has felt like for me, so far. A Mind Melt.
QUESTION: What do you intend to do about it?
ADAM: I don't have that much power. I suppose I can only try to navigate this, barely decipherable terrain, on my own. That's...so very much against my nature, though. I want to get out and help people. I can only do so much, though.
QUESTION: What CAN you do, Adam?
ADAM: A lot. I'm ambitious. I can be kinder. More loving. Neurologists make a claim. Every time you resist acting on your anger, you're rewiring your brain to be more calm and loving. I want to make people smile. I want to make myself smile. I want the applause.

These painful stories we tell ourselves mean to serve a higher purpose. We are in an age where people are identifying their destiny gate. Inescapable, fateful, life-altering events. Get inventive with your communication. Rose-colored glasses are great during the daytime. When it comes to night, it becomes very dark. Let's look at what is working, and go from there.

PAPARAZZI: MATCHING VISUALS TO SOUNDS; BEAT DETECTION /ˌpɑːpəˈrɑːtsi/ by Adam Cerny

PAPARAZZI: MATCHING VISUALS TO SOUNDS; BEAT DETECTION /ˌpɑːpəˈrɑːtsi/

by Adam Cerny

I admire musical artists who recognize the importance of how to introduce visuals to a song they produce. The birth of the "music video" introduced musicians to a new way to reach their audience. A prime example of success in this would be Queen's music video for Bohemian Rhapsody. To create an image that will stay in people's minds is quite a feat. If you haven't seen that music video, head on over to YouTube immediately and enjoy.

Beat detection + audio analysis fascinates me. Why do I create so many music videos? Sonically and visually - it turns me on. It has very little to do with a showcase (this isn't a talent show), but everything to do with individual interpretation. How the visuals enhance a beat can make or break a peak experience. That experience feedback is what turns me on. The feeling. Not the admiration. The perception.

My goal is not to give you visual whiplash or cause dizziness (or maybe it is), but more so, to make you feel the beat inside of your own body.

I am, by no stretch of the imagination, an editor or a music video director. I don't claim to be. I am, however, an artist. Here, is a canvas I've created, for you. I've specifically chosen Fernando Garibay's remix of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi because he is a producer who has mastered the art of beats within any given song. I like juxtapositions because they're effective. They disrupt thought patterns.

The message of the song will always resonate with me. Success or love? Can you have both? Or is it one or the other? What price are you willing to pay for fame or admiration? I feel, in my own life, there is always a turnover. You gain one and lose the other. Vice-versa.

I hope you enjoy my visuals. I hope it makes you thump. AND - someday it'd be nice to have someone else join me in these videos. It can be stale and a bit static only filming myself. However, I am a prime example of what one can accomplish with only an iPhone 8 Plus, a song, and iMovie. No special equipment and no fancy software. Raw.

MY LAST SLUTTY MUSIC VIDEO OF 2017 by Adam Cerny

MY LAST SLUTTY MUSIC VIDEO OF 2017 by Adam Cerny 

As 2017 comes to a close, I couldn't be more apprehensive about 2018. Why? I don't know, REALLY, if I'm happy. I don't know how to define "happy" anymore, and it's something I'm determined to figure out. 

QUESTION: Adam, are you happy? 

ADAM: Do I feel happy in life? Um, let's see... 

I hope I'm finding happiness, right? 

Well, for me, if I can realize certain things in my work, I come the closest to being happy. And I can say that also about my life. 

Well, it only happens, I think, in moments. 

Sometimes when I'm working. 

I'll be able to fulfill a scene, truthfully, and then I think I'm the happiest. 

But, I'm not just generally happy. 

If I'm generally anything, I guess I'm generally miserable. 

I don't know.

I try to. Even if I feel like it or not, I'll try to make the effort to make contact with people around me.

Yes.

I think there are two things in human beings, as I think there is in myself. 

That they want to be alone, but they also want to be together, you know? 

Because I think I have, also, a sad side. 

And I think that's the way with people. But there is something with people where they need solitude for a while. 

Thank you so much for watching!

This music + visual piece is JUST-FOR-FUN. There is no compelling artistic message behind this video. My fellow actor + I look hot as f***. That's all. 😘

ADAM'S TRANSFORMATION: PART TWO by Adam Cerny

ADAM'S TRANSFORMATION: PART TWO by Adam Cerny

trans·for·ma·tion
*Based on a true story. Or, is it?*

**PART ONE can be viewed HERE http://bit.ly/2x6KJqp**

This is the SEQUEL to the character of Adam's transformation story. When we left Adam, there had been a glitch in his transformation process. The plan was not executed according to the design. This error left Adam to fend for himself. Ultimately, this forced Adam to transform on his own accord.

I touched on a topic in PART ONE surrounding the collective's need to fix other people. My theory is that one cannot transform anything but themselves first. The self is paramount. The vogue psychology "self-love" movement has set people in several directions searching for this love. No one can precisely define what "self-love" really is. We have an idea, yes. If I were to ask you, "What can I actionably do right now to implement self-love into my life so I believe it 100%?", you might just stand there and not say a word. Uh-oh. Oops. Follow me with this. I'm finding that we are preaching our truths without anything substantial to show for it.

Be sure to TASTE your words BEFORE you spit them out. When one works hard in silence, it's the noise that can be its success. I am going to be amazingly honest with you, and you might not want to hear this. When one door closes, another door does not necessarily open. Sometimes if it doesn't open, it's not your door. Period. End of story. Where does that leave you?

With yourself. Only yourself. I can promise you that everyone in your life will leave you or die one day. This is a painstakingly inevitable truth. In tandem, this fact opens the doors to yourself. Get to know yourself. Investigate every inch of your soul and interrogate your body. You have yourself for a very long time; no one else.

These lofty goals that society comes up with to better our world are incredibly self-serving. They are more an act of show than of integrity. Hence the reason why we haven't reached the finish line on these goals. How can anyone expect to get to B from A when the ship (themselves) they're sailing in has never been inspected? Inspect yourselves, please. We should be trying to better ourselves. The rest will follow. Period.

The character of Adam has undergone his transformation, left to his own defenses. He found that he likes himself quite a bit. He recognizes his challenges, strengths, truths, and lies. He celebrates his life, even at a young age. By continually aiming to transform himself, this causes a ripple effect in everything he touches. This is the progress I speak of when society dreams up lofty goals.

I challenge all of you to make a list of five things you like about yourself. That simple. Just write down five things and leave the paper somewhere. Come back to it. Answer it when it calls. Add to it. I did this for myself.

Let's break this down in relation to myself...not the character of Adam. I'm an actor. THREAT ONE. I'm a singer. THREAT TWO. I'm a dancer. THREAT THREE. I'm an instrumentalist. THREAT FOUR. I choreograph + curate. THREAT FIVE. Therefore, I am a quintuple threat. A Penta-tastic combination of talent. That makes ME happy. Why? Because I said so. PERIOD.

ADAM'S VISUAL PSYCHEDELIC TRIP: DIRECTOR'S CUT by Adam Cerny

ADAM'S VISUAL PSYCHEDELIC TRIP: Director's Cut

By Adam Cerny

**DISCLAIMER** I do NOT advocate the use of harmful substances. At all. Ever. But, if you wanted to be in an altered state of consciousness when viewing this video, I'd recommend it. An herb that is grown from Mother Earth, particularly.

Director's Cut!? Yes. This was ALMOST never released. True story: this film was ALMOST completely scrapped so it would never see the light of day. Why? The film wasn't landing the way I had envisioned it. I never want to make a piece of art without attempting to show a facet of who I am. After "version 4" of this film, I finally found where it resonated in my soul.

I didn't want to make a film where I was dancing around, half naked, to pop music, without any real substance to support it. I did, yet, want to tell a story. Here's a nutshell version of that story: I'm a dancer. A singer. An actor. A writer. A poet. A photographer. So much ethereal energy; where do I channel it? My imagination. Your imagination. There is a collective consciousness that I'd like to see elevated. After all, dreams are a form of hallucination.

This film is an audio + visual experience. Instructions: put in your ear buds, go to a quiet, dark place and zone out. I've put all the necessary auditory and visual catalysts where they need to be. Don't focus on my body. I only wear little clothing because I want the world to see that the person doing the dancing on film...that person is ME. ONLY ME. That is MY BODY communicating emotion, strength, tone, inflection, and story.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH ADAM: EPISODE 1 by Adam Cerny

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH ADAM: EPISODE 1 by Adam Cerny

The cover art to this episode is hilarious. If you were you look at it, you'd see fire, and what looks to be a girl who wants to have sex. Right? Obviously, I'm a dude. I could grow my natural hair to that length, but it's not a good look on me. The colors remind me of the 1980s rock band, Dokken. Singing, they split up in 1989. I'm still a huge fan, though. The body is all me. The point is this: the cover art is hilarious because it's everything I'm not. It's all make-believe, playing pretend, and storytelling. Why? Because it's fun!

Rarely do we, as audiences have an opportunity to peek behind the curtain. Self-transparency can be fun. Peeking behind the curtain is, dare I say, kind of naughty? I love watching "Behind the Scenes" documentaries because I appreciate the honesty. I can look at that person and say, "Wow, they aren't so different from me." We're all human. We're all alike, yet, so different.

Unbeknownst to them, the very talented Ashley Renée + Jonathan Regier lent their skills. I love telling stories with people who are...real people. These two are fun. I also want to give a big shoutout to Triller, ROLR, and Smule Sing! Those iOS apps have made me look much cooler than I am.

I hope you enjoy this quickie. Episode 2 should be coming shortly. I have so many ideas that need to come to fruition. Even if it's for me. It's always nice to humor at least one person, though.

JOHN WAYNE (Lady Gaga) by Adam Cerny

**RATED R: Mature CONTENT - BRIEF NUDITY**

I always fall for the bad guy. Do you too? I know it's bad. I like danger and excitement. I like people who push the envelope. I'm a performer. I push the envelope. I perform in a very uncontrolled manner on stage, on camera, etc. I do a lot of free association. It's spontaneous. It's theatre. 

You will never know your limits until you push yourself to them. I'm tough. I'm ambitious. I know what I want. If that makes me a bitch, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with always going after the "bad guy". Their danger warms me in a way that a jacket cannot.

BANG BANG FEVER (LIFE OF AN ARTIST) By Adam Cerny

BANG BANG FEVER (LIFE OF AN ARTIST)

By Adam Cerny

Have you heard the term "triple threat"? If you're in the performing world, you've come across it many times. You might be a triple threat, in fact! The literal meaning is someone in a field who exhibits three skills that are necessary to excel. For example, if you're a football player: you excel at passing, kicking, and running. In the theatre world: you can sing, act, and dance. 

Here's where I want to break things down. I've always found the term "triple threat" to be quite limiting. I see it as another way to try to categorize performers into a pool of people. We all know the singer who can't act for shit and actor who can't sing for shit. The dancer who wishes they could do both. We know the individuals who can do all three. 

Let's bang away this "triple threat" theory, as I find artists too complex to be fit into categories. I'm sure most of you feel the same way. When I see performers of any sort, they are not doing one task. In fact, they are juggling quite a few skills at one time and always learning. We will forever be students of the art. I try to type that with a straight face only because saying it sounds so self-righteous + pretentious. It's true, though. Artists seldom give themselves enough credit, do they? 

I like to think, as an artist, that I live in a perverse fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Living somewhere halfway between fantasy + reality. We shut our eyes to see. We offer the sanctuary of beauty to an ugly world. Art is not what you see, but what you can make other people see. It's the most intense form of individualism the world has known. To be clear: ART IS A VISUALIZED (or sonic) ORGASM. A favorite quote of mine is, "A poet needs PAIN more than a PEN to write a poem". 

I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art. I'm not real. I'm theatre. As Uta Hagen said, "Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre." 

This video comes in two waves. I love the yin to complement the yang. BANG BANG FEVER is what you take from it. I urge you to put on your headphones (this is a sonic experience), and keep your eyes peeled. The small intricacies are what I find the most fascinating with the art of film. I make these with special attention to the small fireworks. I want to take you on an emotional and visual roller coaster. Hop on! I hope that this inspires someone to honor the art in themselves for whatever line of "work" they do. We are all artists in some way.

Thank you so much for watching! Be sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe! :-) So appreciated!

Peace + Love!

DANCING THROUGH ADAM By Adam Cerny

DANCING THROUGH ADAM

By Adam Cerny

I found this quote from German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, about dancing:

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

This struck a chord with me. I hear so many generic, "Dance as if no one is watching" quotes. The topic doesn't feel important anymore. It should be, though! Some of the oldest forms of human communication include dancing and making sounds. Drawing, painting, dancing, acting, and using symbols were also utilized. 

Dancing was the staple of rituals, ancient gatherings, and social interactions. Dance has the ability to express a religious practice. Entertainment, seduction, emotion, and pure communication are other sole purposes. 

I wanted to have some fun with this video, as I've been a dancer for many years. I was a competitive gymnast for 12 years. This helped me transition into doing dancing. I decided that theatre arts and performing were going to be in my future. Many people just know me as an actor, singer, and social media guru. I thought it'd be different to show a side that maybe no one has seen before.

I used specific movement, images, and sound to create an aesthetic where one feels inside my head. Everything is intentional. Most of all, I had a lot of fun making this video! I hope you enjoy this visual treat. 

Thank you so much for reading + watching! Truly. ☮💖
