House of Last Things

Wow! This week's schedule has been wild! On Sunday I got a call and in about 10 mins I became the Production Coordinator on a feature film called House of Last Things. And I started work the next day. So, between starting this new movie, working the last day of Kill Hole and the Kill Hole wrap party I've had about 9 hours of sleep this week.

Things are getting moving but we gotta move quick because we are just a little over two weeks out from shooting. I think it's gonna be a fun shoot.

That's a Picture Wrap on Me!

We've wrapped up all the days with extras on The Kill Hole. Shooting wraps on the 24th but my job is done. I'm sad. Funnest crew to work with by far!

I love Alternate Ending Studios!

Week Two Starts Tomorrow!

One week down, 3 to go! Day 6 of 20 starts tomorrow!

I'm having a blast on this shoot! The crew is amazing and fun and everyone pitches in. I even joined the grip and electric crew for half a day last week.

More fun this week and I'm even getting in front of the camera playing a waitress on Friday.

Amazing Day on Set Yesterday!

Okay, so I'm posting this everywhere and can't stop talking about it. Something amazing happened on set yesterday and it was because of my background talent.

My Veterans Support Group was sitting around and talking on set, (they were all real vets ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan and things in between that we don't even know about), and the director had the crew start running sound and camera without telling them. What came out was so raw and true and powerful. Billy Zane was so giving with them and "lead the group" but somewhere the line between actor and human blurred. Even for one of our leads, Chadwick Boseworth, who's character is a part of the group. Billy and Chadwick both stepped out at points so that they could change wardrobe for the next scene without disrupting the group dynamic.

There was not a dry eye at the monitor. And the guys themselves were experiencing something amazing. It's something that I will never forget. THIS IS WHY I LOVE CASTING!

FIRST DAY OF SHOOTING!

So today is the first day of principal photography for The Kill Hole. It's a beautiful day in Gresham. Glad the production office has air conditioning. I love the crew and I think this going to be a very fun shoot.

Work is really going to kick in this next week. Shooting starts on the 27th and the beginning of the shoot will be extras heavy. Can't wait for the shoot! This is a really fun crew and it just keeps getting better. Off to shower and head to the production office today!

New Project Starting Soon!

I just got the word that I will be the Extras Casting Director for a feature film called The Kill Hole. I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's a military film. I love genre specific casting!

Filming starts at the end of July and wraps early August.
