Todd Lampe On Camera Shoot

I am reading a funny short from award winning writer/director Todd Lampe. He is a comedy genius and is in Second City with Christopher Guest. His skits and shorts make you laugh out loud.
The shoot is a 3 camera shoot. My character is a girl who just watched a movie with her guy friend. Everything she says he contradicts so she keeps trying to fix what she said to get him to get the point. The director said I took his notes great!
Acting is a process and a journey which lets you explore many different voices that someone wrote. It is magical when you are able to make the character come alive.
I can't wait to see the finished product that the amazing casting director, Stephen Synder edits.
I hope to work with Todd Lampe again as his work is fantastic.

My Film Festival Contest

Check out the hottest new dating show "Recipe For Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi475BKcUyo&feature=g-upl&context=G2de3d05AUAAAAAAAAAA
Recipe For Love is a comedy for lovers. Things heat up in the kitchen as the girls use underhanded culinary methods to win the bachelors heart. The sexy bachelor has to pick the girls on how they cook and not how they look.
Can cooking win a mans heart? Let me know which recipe is your favorite and which girl should win. If you like cooking shows like "Bitchin Kitchen" and "Epic Meal Time" then you'll love this cooking comedy.
I wrote, directed and produced it with no budget. All the actors and editor both worked for credit to encourage my budding writer/director career.
I hope you like it and vote for my TV pilot comedy in My Film Festival. I'd love to say thank you at The Venice Film Festival.

First Day AT The Studio

Working on a studio is exciting and glamorous. First you need a pass clearance so you must show your ID. "Girls no going around this so they will know your age!" Rats. There are stages full of cameras, lights, sets, props and ghosts from the past. It is legendary that some of the black and white stars still hang around the sets. I'd love to chat with Chaplin or shake his ghostly hand. They are doing pick up shoots of "Dallas" right outside my window. I met a cute dog named "Kiwi". A well behaved movie pooch. It is truly inspiring to see all the crew and office workers running about.
I am busy with filing, copying, faxing, roll calling and typing. New people are being interviewed while the director, writers and producer have meetings.
It is truly amazing to see how a production comes to life. I just got my ID badge. "Yikes! I was just in Vegas for five days and rolled into work with no make up!" Why does Murphy's law operate like that?
So, here I am typing away hiding my photo revealing I have a life outside of the studio. I am on the very bottom of the ladder finally. Oops, excuse me, I have to get back to my copying and lunch must be ordered. I think the grilled brie with roasted veggies on a bed of spinach are perfect for my boss. Hmm, balsamic vinaigrette or blue cheese dressing? First step to success begins with the fine details.
