Shooting Went GREAT!

That's a wrap, folks!

We just wrapped shooting for our pilot episode of MOUTH TO MOUTH. It's been an intense weekend, and I am exhausted! But, I think all the hard work will soon pay off. In a few months, I will be able to share a fantastic web series with everyone. From there, it's anybody's guess as to what will happen.

During this weekend's shoot, I really learned a lot. Without sounding too cliche, I learned a lot about myself and my friends. I also learned more about this crazy thing we call film.

I have been so lucky and fortunate to have been surrounded by some real talent this weekend. Our cast is fantastic - top notch - the best of the best. I cannot believe we were able to bring on such incredible people to a project that is slowly getting its start. Furthermore, our crew consists of some of the hardest working people in the business. I am lucky to call them all my friends, and I cannot thank them enough for all their time, energy, and effort this weekend.

Take a look at some of the highlights from our weekend on set. (Photo Credit goes to the amazing Andi Shaw)

Web Series Rehearsal

Today was a GREAT day! We had our first 'official' rehearsal for MOUTH TO MOUTH!

A special thanks to Nathan Polzin, one of our lead characters, for helping us find a location to hold our rehearsal. I must say that I felt pretty 'official' holding rehearsal in a Hollywood theater. Call me crazy, but I think it was pretty cool.

Things are coming along very nicely and I am really excited to see how our pilot episode will turn out! One thing is for sure: We have a FANTASTIC cast!

More soon!

That's a Wrap!

This past Friday, we had our official wrap party for Top Model. It was a lot of fun being able to hang out with all the new (and old) friends from this season.

Throughout the evening, I somehow became a discussion point when the group learned that I wasn't a drinker. Everyone tried to find me an alcoholic beverage that they thought I would like, but to everyone's 'disappointment', there was nothing that they shared with me that I enjoyed. I probably sipped a wide variety of 10 drinks or so, but after each one, I'd immediately reach back for my coke and wash it down. Ah well.

Nonetheless, it was a fun time. Some pictures are below!

Congrats, Jenna!

A friend of mine (who I traveled to Australia with back in 2001 during the Student Ambassador Trip) got married a few days ago, and the pictures and videos are finally starting to hit the internet.

Take a look at some of the video highlights from their special day.
