Wow! It's been a crazy busy year it's been! Just got back from spending Memorial Day weekend in Atlanta with Matt. He's on the set of his latest feature called QUARANTINE 2: TERMINAL, which was back-to-back with shooting his prior feature THINGS FALL APART. Normally he's home for longer stretchs in between, but this time we only had a weekend in LA together before he left for Michigan! My whirlwind 3 day weekend in Atlanta was a blast. We visited Piedmont Park, went to the Farmer's Market, hit the Atlanta Jazz Festival, had Lobsters at Legal Seafood, had catfish at Boneheads, and spent some quality time. Then I flew home just in time to shoot my 2 days on the feature FEW OPTIONS ALL BAD.
It was a blast being on set with Rainn Wilson (from The Office) and Kenny Johnson (The Sheild). I only had a few lines, but I had my own trailer. I had to miss the opening night party for Dances With Films since our shoot went until about 11pm --but I'm not complaining! I'll take work as a paid SAG actress on an AWESOME film any day! The next week at DWF was a blast. I did my social networking thing and helped filmmakers make the most of their experience. I also ended up taking a TON of photos. Right after DWF ended I shot the lead role in Lis Fies' SCREAM QUEEN at the Hollywood Cemetery and also did a voice-over for CANARY SUICIDES.
The next week I had a gig at Samy's and then I flew back to Atlanta to spend 2 weeks on the set of Matt's movie with him. On the way I stopped off in Austin and spent 3 days with Josh and his family. I finally met my niece and nephew, and I am not being biased at all when I say these are THE CUTEST kids I have ever met. Truly...
All the while we'd entered the Chase contest for the second time to try and win a $20K grant for POTA. With Jennifer Hazel by my side. The two of us were unstoppable! I took my computer to the set, and got all the the actors and crew (even the extras) to vote! On the weekends Matt and I made the most of our travels. We went to the Atlanta aquarium, which has the largest tank in the word, had more lobster at Legal Seafood, spent the fourth of July at Stone Mountain, and saw fireworks from our patio of our fancy downtown hotel. We also visited the Botanical Gardens. The good thing about going home this time was knowing that a week and a half later Matt would be home too...
