I am celebrating this day not for the reason most people who celebrate this day ... celebrate it ... but because it marks two years that Whitney and I have officially been together. Unfortunately we only had time for a quick dinner at Olive Garden since he has a test tomorrow to study for, so I will finally write a new post.This photo is literally from when it all began. Late that night aka super early in the morning is when we started dating. :)
I am so glad and relieved to finally have booked some roles in a few student films. These aren't paid roles, and I'm pretty positive they won't capture the attention of Glee's casting directors, but hey, it's a start. I mostly want to build up my film experience for my resume and get some good footage for a reel. Anyway, the weekend before last I shot a scene from The Time Traveler's Wife. I haven't seen the movie, but apparently this scene (though in the screenplay) didn't make the cut for the actual film, so I really was originating the character in this scene. I enjoy so much being in front of the camera, and though there is nothing like performing on stage in front of a live audience, I know film is where I want to be and where I will be. I can't forget to mention that of course I was playing a sixteen year old because apparently I don't look any older.
This past weekend I shot a film adaptation of the comic book, Y: The Last Man. The comic book's character, Agent 355, is a tough-assassin-bodyguard-black-woman, so of course, I fit the role perfectly...
Needless to say, I was happy that someone saw me as someone other than a twelve year old. We also got to do something cool with makeup effects, so be sure to check that out once I post the link!
I also booked a role in a short film that an MFA student and a couple others are creating. It's a small role, but it's screen time, and they may want to use a set cast and crew for all of their future projects, so hey, more roles that will possibly just be given to me. We will be shooting that this upcoming weekend. Busy busy busy.
On a side note, I have 2 1/2 weeks left of school...forever. 4 1/2 weeks until graduation. EX.CI.TED.
I wish I had some production stills to include in this post, but I don't. Maybe later.
