After a few busy months, I’m feeling the urge to write again. How convenient that I already have a blog!
Since July, I’ve worked as PA on one short film and an extra on five feature films, a TV series pilot, and a national commercial. I posed for an artistic picture by a talented photographer (and […]
Whew! Friday night I spent over thirteen hours on the “Whip It” set; yesterday I had a fifteen hour shift there. My ass is — quite literally — bruised from sitting on plank benches filled with splinters and open staples. My ankles ache from hours of standing. But, it was still loads of fun. I […]
It’s going to be an exciting few days. I’ll be spending this afternoon/evening as an extra on Whip It. There’s an open casting call and I have an audition on Sunday. Monday, I’ll either have another day as an extra or another audition, to be determined over the weekend.
This is fun. It’s a lot of […]
In the past month or so that I’ve been getting back into acting, I’ve pursued all sorts of audition possibilities. Auditions for the show that inspired my return are coming up this week and yesterday I made a tough decision: I’m not going.
I love performing in musical theatre. I enjoy theatre people, I like the […]
I was at the movie shoot from 11:00 pm until a little after 8:00 this morning. It was a normal night for an extra: I was actually needed on set twice as background (two different angles of the same scene), but most of the night was spent making small talk, reading, doing crossword puzzles, or […]
I’m an extra in a scene that’s shooting overnight tonight, with a call from 11:00 pm-10:30 am. Our home schedule is going to be awfully strange for the next couple of days. I’ll prep two nights of dinners this afternoon — tomorrow will be slow cooker pepper steak, so I can get it ready and […]
Our film for the 48 Hour Film Project is slotted to be shown in the middle of the first batch, at the 7:00 showing on Thursday, July 24. C’mon by.
The experience made for a manic Saturday. I had signed onto a team as a PA, then added catering into my duties, and then the whole […]
Woo. I got a call to be an extra in a horror movie next Wednesday. Yes, please. The token payment will cover my gas and it’s a fresh credit, so I can’t wait.
Clint Eastwood is here in Royal Oak today, filming a scene for Gran Torino in a barber shop. I went to an open […]
I mentioned before that I had heard from two teams, and I’ve now committed to working with one of them. Woo! I’ll simply be an assistant, filling in where help is needed during the weekend of the event, but that’s fine by me. It sounds fun and I’m curious about the process. All of the […]
Huh. I had given up on participating in the 48 Hour Film Project and now I’ve heard from two teams in the past day. I’d still love to be part of it, though I now have a conflict that Friday night (we’re taking Kid to see Weird Al Yankovic). The rest of the weekend is […]
