I'm on "hold" for a commercial!

Woo hoo! I'm on hold for a commercial - it's some sort of toy commercial, where I'd be playing the mom (SOC). I've met the director a few times previously at other callbacks, but this is the farthest I've got with him. It was funny at the callback, actually. I walked into the room and recognized him right away, and he did the same thing, and he got up, came over with a big smile and a big hug! Like we were old friends. :) Shooting has already started, but goes until June 10th, so unless I get word of being "released", I still have a chance at booking. *crossing fingers*

"The Ovum Factor" audition

Today I had a great audition for a short feature film! We didn't get too much information going into it, but I did my homework and created something from it. The producer was the one running the audition - it was my first time meeting him (Dana Pemberton) and he was sooo nice! Not only was it a really good chance to "act", but it was so validating because Dana was so positive about everything I was doing. He even extended my audition to have me do something a little extra. Nothing gross! No casting couch, if that's what you're thinking. ;) It was just to do the scenes in an entirely different way than I had prepared, and than what he had directed earlier. When it was time to say goodbye he said, "I hope we'll be talking soon," and, of course, in my head I'm thinking, "You do?? I do!!"

Now I'm just crossing my fingers. If I'm not right for this part, I feel SO good knowing I had a great audition. :)

BC Parks Campaign started

I filmed a commercial for BC Parks last year and it looks like the campaign has now started! I was on my way to my Verve rehearsal last night, and got stuck in traffic. I called Kate (our leader) to let her know I might be a little late and she said, "Well, it's not like we haven't already seen you today." I had no idea what she was talking about, and she said she saw me in the paper. When I got to her place, she gave me the page which had a nice big BC Parks print ad, and there I was! How cool! (We shot a commercial, too, so hopefully that will start airing, too!)
