Happy Birthday to Me!

So today is my birthday! I am 22, i'm feeling happy and optimistic about it. :) I dont have any major plans, my boyfreind is supposed to be taking me to a museum to see the Dali Exhibit. I dont know much about him (Dali), but I love looking at art work so I think it will be fun. Over the weekend, I want to have a girls night out and go somewhere like a bar or lounge. I'm not a drinker at all, but I just want to go out with my freinds and have girl talk. We'll see what happens.

I went to a shoot with the production company i'm interning with yesterday and it wasn't that great. I didn't stay that long (thank goodness) but I did a whole bunch of grunt work. I would really love to talk to someone who is in the business of film/television production and ask them about this PA business. Don't get me wrong, I am trying to be as postive as I can about it, but it's hard when I feel like i'm not learning anything. All I did was sweep...walk documents around..move this tent...get coffee...and just grunt work. The only thing that was kind of cool was that I was on set and got to see the 'real people' in their element. The producers, camera men, and everyone work together really well to get things done. I just wish I was learning more. But i'll hang in there.

As far as my acting, I spoke with the Director/producer of the film that has taken forever to get finished. He said that he's not done filming and we will be starting up soon but he's having to move. I wish that it could get done sooner, but oh well. I'll continue to look for more roles. I hope all of you are well out there!

Trying to Stay Afloat

Hey Bloggers, so things have been sort of crazy for me lately and it's caused me to be quite stressed out. I had a paper due today that I pushed to the last minute but got it done! I hope I did well, but who knows, the teacher for that class grades pretty harshly. But i've done all I can do so I'll just have to see what happends.

Also, I had a terrible weekend of eating everything in sight and gained about like 4 pounds. I know it's not real weight so i'm not freaking out that much, but I am disappointed with the fact that I let myself eat like that. I'm still going to remain positive though, and pick myself up!

I never heard back from the people I sent my headshots too, time to move on to more auditions. I e-mailed Radiant 3 productions and I should be gong to a shoot on friday. I know it's not cool of me, but i'm not exactly thrilled to be going up there. I just have a bad taste in my mouth about the last visit I had where I did nothing but paperwork. They are shooting now, so maybe this time will be better. I just want to go on set and not be in the office stapling documents and filing.

Working it out

Hey bloggers! In my last blog I talked about my issues with my boyfreind. Unfortunately, I didn't get to talk to him about it but I defintely will today. I think the best thing might be that we break up because I have just been settling way to long. But I still want to discuss it with him and see what he thinks. My heart hurts at the thought of not being with him, but if it's the best for me as a person then I have to do it. I owe to to myself.

 

I weighed today and I was 164.8, I was up .2 from Wednesday, but i'm not said about that at all. That means by next week i'll be less than I was this week. I'm making progress. I'm happy about that.

I haven't heard from Radiant 3 Productions since my visit last week, I would have went today but I had to take my car in because the check engine light is on, we all know that means i'll be with  no car all day.

 

I applied to audtion for these short films but haven't heard back from them. I'm tired of waiting on the "Jason Banks" film to continue shooting. I haven't heard from the director/producer in awhile. It's kinda sad though, it would have been nice to add that to my acting resume. Oh well, I must move on.

The Aftermath

Hey bloggers! So I just took my test that I was stressing about..and I actually think I did well. The test is all essay/short answer so you REALLY have to know what you are talking about. You can't just identify, you have to actually know it. Despite that, I think my 2 hour study session before the test worked out, there was only one question that I wasn't positive about, but after I talked with some of my classmates afterwards, I think I may have guessed right. So i'm feeling good about it.

I weighed myself on Wednesday and I lost .2 of a pound since Monday. It's not that much, but i'm happy with that. I have been going to these workout classes that are on Monday and Wednesday and I think they have really helped to boost my weight loss. I've also been eating a much more balanced diet, so that's helping too.

I have not heard from Wonderroot TV or Radiant 3 Productions and I am feeling a little nervous.  I'm not sure if I should look for more opportunities for my production resume, or wait to see if they contact me. Also, the independent film that I am acting in has been taking a long time to finish production. I haven't been looking for more auditions since I have been working on this film, since I don't want to overwhelm myself with things to do. I can only work on one project at a time as far as my acting if that makes since. Aspiring actors/actresses? How do you deal with this?

Blogger life

Hey Everyone! Again, sorry it has been a few days, I am finding that it is harder to keep up with the blog and all of the things going on in my life. But I created this blog to stick with it, and I plan to do that! I had my meeting with Radiant 3 Productions on Monday and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm not quite sure if they are that interested in me since I dont have that much expeirience yet, but I still feel like they are willing to give me a chance. I think my personality helped to carry me along, even one of the editors told me that I seem very energetic and excited which is good. Next week, they are going to start production for an independent film and one of the guys told me that I could help out. My name was added to the call sheet.

Since the meeting I haven't heard from them, I hope that's because they don't plan to contact me until it's time to work on the film. Sometimes I get nervous when I don't hear from people. Speaking of that, I also haven't heard from Wonderoot TV. I have sent a few e-mails after I went up there and toured the facility but no one is answering me. I guess i'll give them a few more days or a week or so before I look for more opportunities.

I'm also concerned that my schedule might begin to conflict a little. Over the summer, I was cast in an independent film and due to the actors and actresses, we are not done filming. I talk with the director/producer/writer alot about it and he told me we are going to start back up. I hope that this won't conflict with the production companies I want to help out with. I guess I will have to cross that bridge when I get there. Other then that, I am just working hard on various things in my life, I hope all of you are doing great out there! :)
