This is not the first terrible song that has played since I've been here...
I wish I had headphones x 1234567890 right now.
haha
So once again I failed at being a good blogger.
I don't know who really reads this shit anyway.
well, I take that back, considering i had it private for a little while, so I know exactly who could be reading..
anyway, it's back to being public again
because frankly, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
haha
I have so many amazing things going on in my life
and anyone that is interested in what I have to say is welcome to read.
if you're a hater, then stop coming here.
I finished the mental hospital film, "In Deep Sight," that I mentioned in the last post
it was 8 days of filming total and I cannot wait to see the final product, it's going to be stunning.
The director, cast and crew were awesome.
It should be all edited and done by the end of next month I think.
Speaking of next month,
holy crap, it's JUNE
asdfghjkl;'
the last 2 years of my life have literally happend in the blink of an eye.
and that scares me.
I'll be 22 next month..weird.
so in the last 2 1/2 months
I have worked on 3 short films, a pilot episode for a webseries, and a photoshoot.
things have been almost non stop!
on the set of In Deep Sight, one of the actors i was working with told me he was going to refer me to some filmmaker friends of his.
I never get my hopes up about stuff like that, because I never know if people mean it or not.
but sure enough, he asked for a few of my business cards and a couple days later I got a phone call from one of his friends, Dan Pena.
Dan wrote and was producing this comedic webseries and we shot the pilot episode a few weekends ago.
This project is being directed by his friend Josh Negrin.
I've seen the final product and it's funny, I can't wait till it's online and I can show it to people.
Dan, Josh and their friend Jedd are 3 of the funniest people I've met, and all really nice guys as well.
We've all become friends, which I am happy about because I don't have any guy friends in LA.
I hangout with all girls, which is weird because my whole life, I was always around a bunch of guy friends.
I love the girls I'm friends with, but some times it's nice to just chill with a group of guys.
I've had about a week off and have been taking care of things I needed to get done.
I'm up in Rocklin/Roseville for a few days this week to go to a couple Dr appts and see a couple people while I'm here.
Every time I come up here, it's so weird.
I feel so out of place.
Rocklin feels so desolate that it weirds me out.
i guess that's the difference between living in a place where there are about 4 mil people for the last year... when my hometown population is like 50k haha.
hmm what else is new with me..
I start another short film next week for one of the guys that was on the crew of In Deep Sight.
it's his turn to do his thesis film, so he asked me to work on it.
I haven't seen the script yet, but he said it was about like some mexican families or gangs or something..
all I know is that it involves fight scenes, which means fun makeup for me.
----> "quit playin games with my heart" is now playing.. FML.. actually.. who am I kidding, I used to be obsessed with the backstreet boys. bwhaha.<-----
On Friday, I went to an interview for an upcoming feature film
I had replied to a job posting on craigslist and they saw my resume and work and wanted to meet with me,
I met with the director and producer at Coffee Bean in Hollywood (Coffee Bean is way more popular in LA that Starbucks)
I've stopped getting nervous for interviews
they either like me or they don't, and there will always be another one.
so I just go into it with a smile and a firm handshake ( i am SO picky about handshakes.)
they told me about the film
it's basically a horror/comedy type film.. kind of like the show Dexter i guess.
actually, they said it was a mix between Dexter and Karate Kid..
haha
but only the mentoring aspect of Karate Kid, not the Karate part.
anyway-
from what they told me it sounded bad ass.
lots of gnarly FX work
and some pretty decently know actors are going to be in it.
Of course I've forgotten most of their names already.. but they're people who are somewhat recognizable, so that's always a plus.
The interview went really well, and they really liked me
they hired me on the spot and actually said I'd be perfect for being the lead actor's personal makeup artist.
the lead actor is Jeremy Sumpter, who stared in Peter Pan (2oo3)
except now he's 20 haha. So I'm pretty damn stoked.. because this is going to look fantastic on my resume.
The film starts production in July, and will be filming a total of 17 days, not in a row.
It's a rather low-budget production, that's why it's being completed in a month.
I am not getting paid, but all of my meals and materials are going to be covered. Yes, it sucks I won't be making money, but at the same time, I NEED a feature length film on my resume so that people take me more seriously, and stop talking about how I'm so young.. "your work is really good, but we're concered that you're so young and haven't had any experience with a feature film.." that's what I heard from the last interview for a feature I went to. BLAH!
so here's my shot.. and the fact that I will be doing makeup for the lead actor, who has been in several things already is awesome. this will be a huge networking opportunity for me, so either way, I win. almost every film thing I've worked on has led to another one, so I'm hoping to continue that. And people remember when you do them favors in this industry.
Mr Robby Starbuck called me yesterday to talk about upcoming music videos since it's been like 2 months since our last one.. he's been working on a lot of stuff and changing things with the company, booking bigger bands, etc.
June 27 & 28th are my next ones. on the 28th we'll be doing a video for Broadway feat Craig Owens from Chiodos. and then we have some big stuff coming up in August, including a video for He Is Legend...swweeettt.
So I've got a few days off here and there, but before I know it, August will be here. crazy crazy
My lease on my apartment is up at the end of next month, my sister will be moving back to Irvine with my parents and I'm hopefully moving into my friend Caitlin's GORGEOUS apartment in Marina Del Rey.. :-)
I hope things keep going this well.. I love being this happy!
until next time xoxox
-S.
