Change

It seems change is everywhere these days. And that's a very good thing. In keeping with this spirit, your favorite documentary series about artists and their days jobs will no longer air on Ropeadope TV.

We are gearing up for a new launch on the series' official site -- keepingthelightson.tv -- and we hope you will join us as we embark on bigger and better things. In the meantime, all previous episodes of Keeping the Lights On are available right here on the blogspot. Simply click on the links under "View the Series" to check out all installments to date.

And don't forget to check out the amazing work of our featured artists. It will change your life.

KTLO Is Still Here

This being the fifth Monday without a new episode, you might be wondering what's up with Keeping the Lights On? Fear not, my friends, KTLO has not gone away for good. We're just taking a little time to work on new installments with new artists, but we'll be back soon. I promise.

Some changes are in store, but I won't talk too much about them right now. Don't worry, they'll be good changes. Keeping the Lights On is still going to bring you the most interesting glimpses into the lives of artists with day jobs. That's not changing...ever.

In the meantime in between time, catch up with any episodes you might have missed over the past 6 months. Oh, you've already watched all of them? Well, like many things in life, KTLO episodes are better the second time around...

Thanks for all your support since KTLO hit the air web. The lights will be back on soon.

The End Is Near / Here

The epic third installment of Keeping the Lights On draws to a close with today's release of Ishah Janssen-Faith - Part 10. This episode is a perfect ending to the latest chapter in the series and will prove inspirational to anyone who is striving against all odds to realize their dreams (or questioning if it's worth it).



Ishah Janssen-Faith - Part 10

It Doesn't Get More Open Than This

Yes indeed. We're still going strong with Ishah's installment of Keeping the Lights On. Her story is absolutely fascinating to me. But I'm also immensely intrigued by how open and honest she is about herself and her art.



What makes Ishah such a talented actor - her strength and vulnerability - is on full display in the new episode. It just doesn't get more open than this.
