The trailer and poster for “BIT Parts” has been released by Blue Goggles Films. I am thrilled to say the least about being cast as a lead character, Agent Zero.
Doonby is a feature film starring John Schneider (Dukes of Hazard, Smallville), Jenn Gotzon (Frost/Nixon), Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) and Robert Davi (Die Hard, Goonies). I play a supporting role as “Lisa” with Tom Lagleder as my on screen husband.

“Please Hang Up and Try Again” is a romantic drama based on the perspective of phone conversations, we follow three lovelorn individuals: one who ends a tattered relationship, one who longs for a past love and one who seductively initiates a new tryst. I play Rachel, the seductive initiator.
This film, Directed by Eduardo A. Garcia and Produced by Kalyn Blacklock at kE Films is scheduled to be released Fall 2011.

The trailer is really fun. I think rather than a description, you should watch it to see what happens!
I just finished principle shooting of a short film called “American Dreams”. The film, inspired by true events of Italian writer/director Gaia Bonsignore, is a story about two girls, Lisa and Diana, and their search for the “American Dream”, both having quite opposing ideas of what that is and how to achieve it. Diana, played by Jacqueline Leal, seeks freedom in support and stability of a marriage that has inevitably lost its love. Lisa, my character, is an anarchist protester who finds freedom in running and retaining an uprooted status, constantly fighting for the cause of the moment.
It was an amazingly ambitious shoot (a super low budget that opens with a street riot scene, which achieved superb footage from what Ive seen). It also provided an opportunity for me to work on a more gritty/ street kid character, as ive been seeking.
I just finished a fun (and funny) country music video with the band Fred Andrews & Honeybrowne (Facebook Fanpage Link). The song is called “Beautiful Waste of Time”. I play the waste of time… Somebody’s gotta do it ;)
Shot in one day, this video was Directed and Edited by Jay Galvan, Produced by Dan Grosser and features the lovely Tina Rodriguez and Carlos Gacharna of DirtyBill’s Bar in Austin, TX.
Fred Andrews & Honeybrowne are at #23 on the Texas charts and climbing!
Photo shoot with “Blood & Glitter” makeup artist Wendy Sanders and photographer Steve DeMent under the theme “Austin Pinups”.
Jay Galvan shot this as a behind-the-scenes look at transformation from makeup chair to pinup flair. This video was submit to “One Day On Earth”, documenting a collaborative of the world’s story on 10-10-10.
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot as it unfolded.
Here is a clip from Episode 2 (first after pilot) of ABC’s “My Generation”.

One Saturday in July, Jay Galvan and I went filming in downtown Austin- 4th street warehouse district to be precise. We had two differing goals that could be achieved in the same project, the perfect symbiosis. Both a test of the low light sensitivity of the 7D DSLR camera as well as an opportunity for me to work out a new character in a simple scene, we shot this with one camera, no lights, hand-held and on the fly. We plan to develop a story-line with this character and plan to shoot a few more tests within the next month. I want to include more people on the street – engaging strangers is always fun (and truthful).
You can see the video here and also under “watch” in the links above.
Waiting for passerbys
I have a supporting role in a feature film called Doonby, shooting this month. The film was written and is being directed by Peter Mackenzie. The cast is an amazing group of actors - John Schneider, Robert Davi, Will Wallace, Jenn Gotzon, Joe Estevez and, of course, many others talents!
Here is a photo from our last “crowded bar scene” and Ernie Hudson’s last day on set.

We often hung out at the Katy House, run by Sallie and Bruce, the most generous couple one could hope to find wandering on location. Sallie hosted the principal cast at the house so we didnt need to wait in trailers or tents the whole day. It was good to have a ‘home front’ to camp out for most of the day. Thanks again, Sallie and Bruce!
In the film, I play a swinger who is intrigued with Sam Doonby’s charisma as well as integrity. Below is myself and my on-screen hubby, Tom Lagleder in full costume.

Sallie always gets pictures with the cast of films that come through her house. This is our token “fireplace mantel” shot with her :)

I found out at the end of the day why people were asking Scotti (below) for guitar picks while we chat. He is co-guitarist for Skid Row (and an awesome dude as well!)

After the bar scene wrap, there was a small afterparty at the Tamble’s House, the location where I’ll shoot my next scenes May 31, June 1. Im ready to go back to Smithville and see everyone again!
Look for the film early 2011!

A most fantastic music video I was honored to be a part of is premiering at Encore this Saturday, March 20 @ 4pm. The director is Laura Wallgren, founder of Make Love Music (you should friend her, she’s great :), the band is called Transfer and the video is for the song Get Some Rest. They are showing the video before Transfer’s set at 4pm. I have only seen screenshots, and I must say im pretty stoked about it!! The event in its entirety is a two day lineup (SAT, SUN March 20, 21) with bands (of course, this is SXSW), good food by Root and good vibes by all. Emphasis on the good vibes, as the crew putting it together is super stellar good stuff.
Listen to Transfer’s new album, Future Selves.

From the short film, Vicky & Sam. My, I look interested.
Vicky & Sam is a story about three writers who discover that their stories are being played out in real time. The lead characters, Vicky and Sam, enter the diner, exactly as described in the writer’s brainstorm session. As the three writers toy with the concept of two real people doing whatever they declare, of course they get out of hand and danger ensues. I play a writer. The two other writers, my co-stars, are played by Daniel Moore and Luke Francis. Definitely check them out!
The film is directed by Nuno Rocha, a director from Portugal (and, as I find out on set, a magician as well! :) I recommend checking out his work – he’s doing great stuff!

We shot “Pearls of Wisdom” for the 48 Hour Film Race this year in Austin, TX. We re-edited the film and will submit it in the festival circuit. Super fun time, to conceive and complete a film in 48 hours! Our film won Top Ten at the REEL Women sponsored film awards.
I got a hell of a shiner for "Pearls of Wisdom"
