Sideshow

Sideshow is a film I just finished shooting. It's about crimes of passion. My shoot was awesome! I learned a lot, mostly more surety in my own abilities. I connected with new actors, refilled my inspiration levels, and laughed so hard at times I had to remind myself about the seriousness of the work I was doing. My scenes came so natural, the weather was perfect for bike riding scene, the entire day was beautiful and magic.

I'm not sure exactly how I even came to be a part of this film. I pretty much believe in everything. This is not so easy as it sounds, some days I find myself disappointed, actually a lot of the time. So things all lining up is a fine little surprise when it comes about. It is good to know I was right about Angels .


On Sunday we met to take a cast photo for the poster. After the photo, we were asked to sing a bit of the theme song as our character would. Awesome! I sang as Martha. I didn't sing as well as I actually can
because I was a little nervous. But I sang it with a breakable heart, one drop away from tears, sad, but soft and graceful as Martha would. I found her. I get it.

Shreveport the Shift Shaper

Went to Shreveport last week to audition for a film. Too cold to roll the windows down and let my hair slap my face, I would have loved it! I drove across Texas early morning with Charles Capps encouraging me to see the unseen, dream the dream God put in my heart. The sky hung low and gray, tufts of snow and ice sprinkled the sides of the Louisiana highway.All in head were scenes from movies that had not yet been made and songs unsung, that I sang with beautiful voice God gifted me. I think looking back - that trip was meant to be escapist for me, but all the way as the tires spun round and round, I thought of how happy I was to go back to a place I truly love to show off in.That's where Scott Marshall said to me after my read, "Very nicely done!" I don't know if he ever mentioned me to his Dad Gary, or his aunt Penny, maybe he did.
I drove with my back against the seat of the Toyota Camry cultivating the uncanny mind sweeping thoughts that now take up most of my days - thoughts that it has to be! Maybe not everyone thinks this much and at this intensity all the time. Studying God's Word, speaking it, believing, waiting expectantly for the manifestations.

I'm gonna make you WANT to be with me 2011! Walkin around the house like a Movie Star, smiling to myself about the sheer beauty of being an actress. Calling things that are not manifested in the natural realm, as though they were manifest in the natural realm, until they are manifest in the natural realm. God did the same thing! He called things that are not as though they were.
