Pre-Pilot Season:

Today has been a roller coaster ride. And I believe I'm capable of finally putting together a decent post, so I'll continue. I woke up from a very…interesting dream, to say the least. I wouldn't say "wet" but definitely intimate - if not leaning towards sexual. It involved me and a former classmate that I never even considered a friend. I simply knew him because we had mutual friends, plus he was slightly annoying. Anyway, I bring it up because I feel that dream was a prelude to an email I received today. I booking a gig on a short film **insert applause** that I actually forgot about. Even though I submitted my video on the 4th (I think) I had a pretty busy video submission week . Actually the beginning of this month has been me hustling to get auditions then recording myself everyday to get them sent in a timely manner. I really do have a love/hate relationship with video submissions. I love the intimacy and control of being able to take more risk then s...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wasn't planning on writing a post today but I felt inspired so…why not?      When I fist moved to ATX at the end on 2013 I knew I made to right choice. The gigs were rolling in and I felt good about the steps I took to achieve them, but at the beginning of 2014 I stated to flat line. I felt that I wasn't as motivated as I once was. I've never been the one for resolutions but I think it's time I map out a plan of attack and take 2015 by storm. Some Goals for 2015: -Book a Feature Film(any role) -Book a recurring role on a TV/Web series -Book a role on a Major Film/TV Production -Continue with my YouTube Page -Keep Auditioning  The last one is actually really important to me. In the middle of 2014 I simply wasn't putting myself out there. And as the saying goes, "Showing up is 90% of the battle". Now that I'm motivated and back in love with acting I'm going to give to my full focus and act as if I need this to survive. Break a Leg, A...

Filming, Facebook, and AGENTS!

Hey guys! So I've been pretty busy this past week. I had an industrial audition which was pretty exciting. Then I filmed the short 'What We Give'. The production company is  AMAA Productions  and it's directed by Dustin Butler. The story is so beautiful and it has a great message behind it. I had such an amazing time on set with the crew and my other cast member. My face loves getting beat up and dirty! lol I can't wait to show you guys when it's completed! And some more exciting news…..!!! I'm looking into getting represented with an agency! Hopefully all goes well and I'll be able to make a post about who I'm signed with and all that good stuff. Oh! And I'm also going to be apart of a project by Dyann Green, It's a 'Breaking Dawn:Part 2 Parody' and the script is so funny! I play Zafrina and I can't wait to start filming that at the end of the month. To donate so we can reach our goal go to the link HERE and like the m...

Cast in a new Independent Short

   Just as I was thinking about getting cast in more films..it happens! ;)     I got the most pleasant phone call from Rachel , the producer and lead actress in a short film I audition for recently, and she told me that they wanted to cast me as the featured role I went in for!    I'm so excited to be apart of this production! I absolutely love being on set, especially as an actor. I'll probably do a couple of extra gigs still, just so I have some extra income coming in, but I really want to focus on getting footage for my demo reel. There's a couple of agencies I want to sign with and I really want to impress them and stand out from the rest.   I hope you all are doing well. It's been a little gloomy here in Austin but I kind of like the change. Oh, before I forget… There's this cool new website that lets you connect with actors, directors, and filmmakers from all over the world! Check out the website and lets make some magic! Break a ...

I'm a horrible blogger...

So it's been about three months since I've blogged. To be honest I forgot all about this page. I guess it's because I haven't been too busy with actual acting jobs, mostly background work...like today for instance.  It's a decent sized production with some big name actors. I booked this gig because I've worked with this extras casting company so many times that they contact me now, lol. Plus, it's good pay. AND, it's not a "cattle call" for this shoot today. It's only 5 extras and 3 people in cars, the kind of sets I like!  Anyways, I had an audition for this independent film that went really well! :) hopefully I get the part. It's a featured part, but I really liked the production company and the story seemed interesting.  And some more good news... The short that I filmed last year, "True Will" , is premiering this coming Sunday!!! Can wait to see the final cut and and the amazing cast and crew I worked with!  I'll try t...
