Night Zero

A photographic novel of the post-apocalypse

http://www.nightzero.com/
Just stumbled upon this after a friend posted some pictures of himself in it, and I’m not sure how I’ve gone so long without knowing about it. What a fun concept, it must be really rewarding to work on a project like that. Congrats to Dan!

Unlock your Sherlock

They finally released the project I worked on last month. I am one of the waitresses, very background. There’s a few shots of me but they’re so fast, it’s not really worth the effort to try and find me. Glad to have been a part of such a nice looking product. Have fun!

Obsidian: Opening Nov 15th

The big day is approaching. The nights get longer, more rich and dense, as what is affectionately coined ‘hell week’ (by my friends who are much better versed in the in’s and out’s of theater than I am) pushes onward. I see why one might call it that, and there is no place else I would rather be, or anything else I would rather be doing. Perhaps that is where the energy to press on is coming from – cause it sure ain’t common sense or physical logic.

The show is, in a word, stunning. The creative process of putting this evening together has been flowing, expanding, fruitful and an absolute joy to watch. Working with others to this extent to project a vision into the world has opened me up to a whole new dimension of collaboration and possibility in expression as an artist and performer.

It’s just been a total pleasure to direct this project, this fine collection of artists, under a veil that has encouraged their expression and ideas, and to be open to receiving the wondrous results in allowing the unexpected to unfold. Knowing that the person I was, even a year ago, could not have accepted this gift.. well. Let’s just say, I feel good right now. Really good.

Did I mention how fucking awesome this show is?

Obsidian opens this Saturday, Nov 15th, at the Little Red Studio. Tickets and a short description of the show are available through BPT and Little Red Studio.

This is my first full fledged show. I am the creative director, co-producer, multiple hat wearer, and one of the main performers. If you like my work, it’s rather a given that you’ll enjoy this show. We are a tremendous crew, if I do say so. Come see it! It’s going to be friggin epic.

And.. Thank you, for your support all of these years.

Mallrobbers premier: Interview footage

I am about 1/3 of the way in.. I said a bunch of stuff about anthony being a visionary director but it got cut for some reason :P Stick with it to the end, he’s pretty funny in his interview.

I swear, my eyebrow has a consciousness of its own. I sure was nervous!

Mt. Vernon ahoy!

Start shooting the comedy in Mt. Vernon today, Had rehearsals last night. Fun stuff. Looking forward to it.

My schedule is going to be shot for a while as we’re filming at night, not sure how much I will be around and posting. I think my life may mostly consist of filming at night and sending resumes out during the days for the next couple of weeks.

Unfortunately something went wrong with my crossposting script and I had to wipe out a lot of the posts I put up in the last couple of days in order to get rid of a really annoying error. So LJers, all your comments were lost. Sorry bout that.

Me, doing comedy? On a plane? With snakes maybe?

Come tomorrow at 6am, I am totally gonna be one of those people reading a movie script on a plane. That is SO COOL I like can’t even tell you :P If I were a better liar, I’d make up some story to the person next to me about how I’m some successful and important bigass movie star person on my way to New York to shoot my A&E biography or some silly shit like that.

But in actuality, I hope I have the strip of seats to myself, so I can concentrate on which part I want in my first feature film.

Now ok, let’s be real here – “Feature Film” means that the film is more than 70 minutes, or something like that. That’s pretty much all it means. This “Feature Film” is an indy film being shot up north a ways. The best part about it? COMEDY! I’m going to act in a comedy!

I walked in to my audition with a half memorized monologue and lots of nerves, walked out with my choice of two parts. I didn’t think much of the situation until Rob was like “Does it feel good to walk out of that audition with the script and your choice of roles?” Well yeah, I guess it does.

To sweeten the ego pot, because of this offer I found myself in the position to have to choose between two projects shooting in August. AIIIIEEEEEE!!

One was this film, another unpaid opportunity 1.5 hours away (one way) and the other was a short film by a first-time director that paid a little, was closer, and pushed my limits, but was another dramatic role. I really want to move into comedy and even musical theater, have variety in my reel, and the script has made me laugh out loud a couple times. So there you go.

I will be traveling a shit ton and filming a movie in Mt. Vernon for most of August. I’m not sure what details I am allowed to release about it so I’m being cautiously ambiguous for now. Maybe I’ll have more to say about it later.

I still haven’t decided if I’m taking my laptop with me, but I’m sure I will come up with a couple random opportunities to post if I don’t. Knowing me, I will take it, though.

Seattle peeps: see you on the 24th, suckahs!

The Spirit wrapped

Finished shooting The Spirit today, that crew is a lot of fun. Hopefully I’ll do decently at keeping in touch with them as life rolls along.

Shooting outdoors wasn’t much different than shooting indoors, except the constant stream of cars messing up our shots and the fistful of crackheads hanging around the SFI being weird and distracting. It made for a few good laughs.

I’m hoping to do some more film and a stage production when I get back from the east coast (leaving on the 12th and coming back the 24th). It would be nice to do one more of each this year at least, and it would make me happy to get on a stage sometime. I really, really want to try my hand at stage work, but it’s kinda tough to do that with a chunk of travel time coming up. I suspect it will be more reasonable to do stage work when I am not leaving for large spans of time during summer productions.

That’s a wrap on Needle Pulling Thread

Just finished up the film ahead of schedule. I did well, and I got some free underwear out of it. The film pushed my boundaries in a number of ways, was very enjoyable to do and the crew was fun to work with. It’s a student film with a bit of edgy content done with some really beautiful lighting effects, I’m excited to see the finished product. It probably won’t go places, being a student project and all, but I’m not exactly horrified by the idea of limited availability considering I was playing a rather contemptuous slutmonster. Then again… :)

I sorta rule a little. And damn I looked hot.

Special mad props to my husband, who not only did the bulk of the old-place cleaning today and yesterday and is currently driving up here to pick me up from the set, but just generally rules on most counts.

I would also like to thank Ivan for his dumping assistance, and Best Western for having wireless which limited waiting irritation considerably.
