Like the days after Christmas

Like the days after Christmas, so are the days after PCS.

Hard to believe that it is behind us all now! The projects that we worked so hard on this last summer have made their debut to the world. Ok, the local world any way.

It was SUCH a blast seeing all of the different crews again and finally getting to see the movies that I did not participate in but knew a great deal about. So, there were ten movies total, I was asked to participate in six and I worked on four. It has been an absolutely amazing summer. Busy but amazing.


Above is Michelle Thompson and I. She just killed it in the movie Home-School "Baby! Can you at least change the channel? Judge Judy 'bout to come on!" Oh man, I love it!



This was me being star struck by Amara Stefani & Matt Mitchell from

"Being Lisa"

(not quite sure who the blonde lady is)


Here are the O.G's (original gangsters) need I say more?


Stephen Darmstandler (Home-School) and I. Huge fan of this guy's work, I hope he will consider me for future projects. I will be the dope-diggity craft services, script supervisor.. Gopher... whatever, as long as I am involved in the next project! B.T.W Home-School was viewer's choice #2!


Scott and I with Angela Ortner and Joaquin Murietta (these two together have crazy super powers going on... They wear so many different hats and get so much accomplished that it's not even funny)


"Vacaville Bill" (Bill Hennig) sent me the picture (he took) above and I am glad that he did because... that's Chris Terry that we are with! You will be seeing more of him and hearing his name in the near future.

That was way too fun. "Kindred" won the Technical Excellence award and "Wheel of Knowing" (Paul Nicknig's project as AD) won Audience Favorite. Very deserving, I was floored by it and by floored I mean, in tears. Very moving story. Want to see it?

Enjoy!

Film Festival Numero Dos...

Today is the day. Hundreds of us cast and crew have been anticipating this date all summer long and it is finally here. The Place Called Sacramento Film Festival kicks off at the Crest Theater at 1:00pm!

It has been fun seeing press for random movies here and there. Both the "Being Lisa" crew and Stephen Darmstandler (Home-School) had amazing interviews with Ron Cooper (Access Sacramento) last week. I heard about an interview on Good Day Sacramento and I have read several local write ups (Sac News and Review, Outword Magazine, Silver-Lined Entertainment website, SacTown Magazine). Word has really seemed to float around about Kindred, and I am epistemically certain that people will be blown away when they see the finished product.

Spoke to my dear friend Michelle yesterday and I am eager to see her and her family there also! Remember, had it not been for Michelle I would have never gone to the PCS Cast and Crew call and I would have never had the chance to be a part of these amazing projects this summer.

*Update* (which I almost forgot about)
I spoke to Keven Nguyen (Relationships) who told me that they had to cut many scenes in order to shave time on their flick. Unfortunately I was one of the scenes that got the axe. It's all cool, I thought it was just a great experience so I am still excited about the chance to have worked on their project (see post below on their movie).

So, that takes my screen time down to .3 seconds from .4 today. Please remember, not to blink. Perhaps you would be interested in the Clockwork Orange set up (eye openers and eye drops?)

*laughs*

I am really looking forward to the festival and I can hardly wait to give the recap!
