Elle Poindexter

I've been busy!  I'm currently producing and starring in a short horror film titled, "The Flowers of the Rifts".  It's written and directed by John Broxton.  We started filming last weekend and it went great!  Producing this film reminds me of when i had a theater company in Corvallis, Oregon.  I wore many hats.  Acting, directing, marketing, costuming, etc....  With this film I'm doing less than I did with the theater company, but it feels the same.  It has a similar energy.  I guess I've been acting for so long I forgot what it's like to do the rest.  But, I love it!  I love it all! 

Not only has producing been fun but I have been having a great time acting!  The director, John Broxton, is one of the best directors I've worked with.  He really is an actors' director.  We had three rehearsals last week for the scenes we shot this past weekend.  He was prepared, invested, interested in our thoughts and suggestions and he asked us questions about our characters.  He really fostered a collaborative environment while remaining the leader.  The other actress, Danielle Ross, and myself felt at ease and ready to film!  We felt comfortable, prepared and confident with our performances. 

Not only was the acting and directing superb, but the crew rocked as well.  Sal Collura is the DP and Christina Drop is the Make up Artist.  Both were professional and fun individuals.  We continue shooting this weekend with rehearsals tonight, Wednesday and Thursday.  I also have to find time to buy food and costumes for the shoot while working a full time job.  yikes!  I dream of the day where I only work in the film and theater community! 

Other Updates:  "The Bicyclist"  continues to gain audience and the writing, acting and directing keeps getting better!  We are all really proud of the work we have done.  It continues to be a blast!  Episode 12 is up for viewing and another mini-episode will be up this Thursday.  I've been working on a myspace page for "Steve".  I hope to have it up soon. 

I've gone to many auditions and many callbacks this summer.  I had a callback for the movie "The Trail" and an audition for the movie "ASL".  This Thursday I have an audition for Nintendo.  I hope i break both legs! 

I have my photos and resume up on imdb now.  Check it out!
