First of all I apologize for not blogging recently.  Thank you for continuing to view my website and blog regardless. 

Life as an actress has been busy as always... 

I continue to film "The Bicyclist".  Episode Ten is up today!  Click here to view it.  We filmed episode 11 last weekend and had such a blast.  It's an over the top comedic episode, which is so fun!  I so enjoy letting go and being silly.  Not only did we laugh at ourselves and fellow actors, but the individuals who walked into our set because they were too high to know what was going on.  One woman had no idea where she was.  All she wanted was to find Tray-tray and get some weed.  If you ever see me ask me to do an impression of her.  I think Lissa has it on video.  Oh, it was too funny!  The guy who invaded our set wasn't as funny.  The joys of filming on location. 

I'm happy to report that the writers of "The Bicyclist" have changed the format starting with episode 10.  Now, each episode will  have its own arch, instead of the three-episode arch of previous episodes.  This will make for more interesting episodes and stories will wrap up quicker. 

I've also been cast in another webisode titled "Starving Art".  I'm not sure if I have liberty to talk about the show yet, but it too will be a situational comedy.  I have a really good feeling about this from speaking with the director.  The rehearsals will be more like theater rehearsals where you spend a lot of time as an ensemble getting to know your character as well as the others and creating this world that you inhabit.  Fun, fun, fun!!  I love exploration! 

I've had a few auditions and callbacks.  I was called back for a play with Miracle Theater.  I didn't get the role, but i was happy with the auditions.  The director was very nice and complementary as was the lead/artistic director.  So, maybe they will call me in for a future production.  I also had a great audition for a feature film titled "The Trail".  It went really well, but i haven't heard from them.  The last i heard from my agent was they were still in first reads.  So we shall see....

I will be posting some behind the scenes "Bicyclist" pics and also some stills from the short i shot months ago, L.E.A.D., so stayed tuned...

And of course we are still filming "Recovery", a.k.a. the movie that never ends.
