Yesterday Jen and I had a girls’ day out. First we went to lunch at the Newsroom which is like an Elephant Grill or Chili’s with really yummy food and drinks AND is right across from The Ivy (THE restaurant for stars to dine). We didn’t see anyone there but we were shopping in American Apparel and Rhea Pearlman (Carla from Cheers and Danny De Vito’s wife) was looking at clothes right next to me. Then I did Jen’s hair and makeup for her modeling headshots. It was such a fun day!
We started shooting ‘Garbage Ties’, the student film I’m doing on Saturday. I don’t think this is going to be something I’m going to want people watching. There were several things wrong with this picture that him being a junior as a film major should know, especially going to Loyola Marymount. He has all of these resources at his fingertips and could make a really good movie (well as good as it can get for the script) and he’s not doing it. We were there for 6 hours, the battery died I don’t know how many times, he didn’t check out a boom mic or a lighting kit, and we had to buy our own food and drinks. Well I’m only using it for the resume experience – not that it’s gonna do me a lot of good but I feel bad for the guy. I’ll keep you updated on the drama that unfolds. Apparently we have several more Saturdays we’ll be shooting.
I’m really goona send off the contract for my commerical agent tomorrow. There’s also 2 other agencies that have contacted me in the last week – one that is primarily commercial and *maybe* theatrical and the other I don’t know. I have to attend an open call. Well I obviously don’t need commercial anymore so I’m not gonna go see them for the hell of it. But I’m happy to be getting such good results!
I’ve been working a lot at Geddes and between that and acting, have very little spare time. I’m really looking forward to the Dave Matthews concert so I can take a much needed break!
