A Stray wrapped

Howdy friends, how is the Fall treating you?

Since the last blog, I've wrapped filming for the project A Stray and have begun working on another untitled film project with director Nathan Phelps and his crew. However, before I go into details about that project let me discuss filming for A Stray. As I expected, it was fantastic and challenging! Everyone (cast and crew alike) were so kind and so professional is was a breeze to be on set. Working with Joe Flowers, the male lead, was the best because he's a) talented b) professional c) fun and d) knows how to bring out what's needed from the scene and that my friends is a coveted trait!

All in all it was a wonderful experience and I am sad that the project has wrapped, however I am excited and eager to see the finished project. From what I saw in the play backs, we've got a killer story.

Here are some pics from the shoot:

A Stray

The film A Stray written and directed by Hayden Blades begins filming tomorrow. Needless to say I and the cast and crew are VERY excited for this project. The production company Synthetic Human is truly a talented group, within filming and outside of filming. I know they won't let us down and I know that I won't let them down-it's going to be an amazing product. If I haven't posted this already, here's the website about the cast/crew of A Stray:

I play the character Evelyn, the wife of Gabriel Althaus and mother of Katie. The film is going to oscillate between the past and the present in vivid and sharp lens and lighting. I can't go into too much detail because I don't want to give anything away...but it's going to come out amazing!

Blessed once again!

So after booking "Children of the Dust", I auditioned for another project called "A Stray". I got a call to come back and re-audition with a more selective group i.e. working with a man and a child. First we started with pictures, trying to arrange and take pictures of us with each man and each child. Then after that was finished, the auditions commenced. I auditioned with three of the five male actors. Each was very interesting in their own way-all very talented. However, after four scrupulous days, I finally got that phone call that I heartily desired. I booked the part! I am so honoured, blessed and excited!

Rehearsals begin very soon and the cast and crew meet and greet is just around the corner. More details when I get them :)

Here's a link to the film and the prologue of the characters and actors:

Finally! The music video I shot with country artist Hollywood Yates is out! I'm very excited to be apart of this project and am even more excited to see my face (as well as his handsome face) up on the screen airing on CMT!

My wonderful director amigo Travis Mills won best 48hr IFP Beat The Clock Challenge, which only gives the Running Wild Films production team a paper merit to their genius. Not to mention publicity and fame, which is well deserved. Makes me proud to have worked with them for The Big Something.

Speaking on Running Wild Films, I also helped out, with a walk on cameo, (literally a walk...photographing my heels) for their newest short Night Train To Phoenix. I'm excited to see how it turns out because on playback it looked really attractive to the eyes.

Since then, I auditioned for another short feature film being shot in Phoenix area and I booked it! It is called "Children Of The Dust". The director, Chris Wilembrecht, is a suave, savvy gent with a hint of provocative tease in his style of writing and filming. The story line follows a young man whom is under the thumb of a very religious single mother until one day he meets a beautiful seductress that turns his world upside down. Things go from bad to good to extremely bad and the sister of the beautiful girl is forced to come into the picture to set things straight. I play the sister, Lena, that must clean up the mess. It's definitely a drama/thriller and I am super excited to be able to tap into this side of myself for the role!

A couple of days ago the cast and crew had an official meet and greet where we all mingled, relaxed and had a table reading. I can honestly say we all clicked pretty much right away-which is fantastic and fortuitous! I'm excited because we will have two make up artists on set: one for our natural look and the other for our super natural look ;) Can't go into much more details about that, but this is going to be a rrrrreeeeeaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyy fun role.

I'll post pictures later of the meet and greet and introduce you to the cast :)
