Auditioned for "The Best Years"

Fingers crossed!Oooh, I just finished taping an audition for "The Best Years", a new TV show filming in Toronto. I am super excited about this one - the producer is the same one from Plague City! I got the breakdown yesterday and when I saw her name on the list I was giddy! I'm really happy with my audition tape (and my agents are too!), so all we can do now is cross our fingers and hope I'm what they're looking for. I feel great for having done a solid audition, so I'm happy at that, but this sounds like such a great project! Agh, nerves.

MAMM '06 - 2nd Place!

Alright!!!! The Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon (MAMM) had a screening of all the submitted film entries at Tinseltown last night. After the screenings, they announced the winners, and then we had a big party afterwards. It was so cool seeing our film up on the big screen. Actually, that was the first time most of us had seen it in its finished, 10-minute form. Alfie (our director and producer) did an amazing editing job. And all the parts that we were moaning and laughing at during filming made the audience moan and laugh too. The feedback was awesome! And we ended up placing 2nd! Our film was called, "Rise of the Kitara".

Unfortunately I couldn't stay too long at the gala - I had to get up super early the next morning because I had to go out to Cultis Lake to shoot a commercial. Bittersweet, you might say - sweet because we placed 2nd, bitter because I couldn't stay to celebrate, but sweet again, because the reason was that I was filming!

Oh yeah! Placing 2nd means our film will be shown during the Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF) in the first week of November. Cool!
