NOV 18

Wow, what a night!  Background.....Action!  I must have heard that a few hundred times.  Oh, along with let's do that "one more time".  Really?  Why does it take so many takes of  a bus pulling away from a curb?  I was on the Clara bus, with Ms. Jessica Beal.  We had a fun chat.  I can say she was very friendly and talkative with we extras.  It's all true what they say...a lot of waiting around and craft services is terrific!  I decided with all the extras, they wouldn't really remember one from another so instead of just sitting waiting to be called, I just told a few of the other extras, we're getting in the next group regardless.  Time for another "lineup" and we just joined ranks.  Next thing you know we're on the Clara bus and need to come back in a few days for the diner shoot!  Ha! Ha!  The saying is true, you snooze, you lose.  I don't know how many more 14 hour days I can handle, though.  Hopefully this will be the last one.  I don't know the story of The Blunderers, except that Jessica's character ends up at the bottom of a cliff. (and she's not looking for truffles)  It's not clear how she got there, but after a very cold day of filming with her I told her in order to speed things up, that we re-write the script and the bus driver did it with the ticket puncher.  She agreed and called it a wrap (that's movie lango for we're done)      Background....Action!

NOV 14

I can't believe it's November and my 2014 New Year's resolution only has one more month! But let's not get ahead of ourselves because I have decided on my November choice.  This is a unique pick because it was out of my control whether or not I could do it.  I actually tried this for my October resolution but it did not work out but now, for November, something I've always wanted to do but have never been able to or really not had the opportunity to is to be in a major motion picture!  Ok, so maybe I'm not the main character, but I got selected to be an extra.  I just had my fitting today and filming starts on Monday. I will be wearing an overcoat, hat, gloves and I don't know what they will do with hair and makeup.  My scene occurs at a bus stop.  That's all I know.  I'm guessing if you blink, you'll miss me.  I already decided that when the movie comes out, I'm going  to stand up in the theater and make an announcement that I am the gal in the white coat in the bus scene!!  Then, when the scene comes on, I'm going to shout....THAT'S ME!!  I will not be able to take my phone/camera on set but I will describe the experience in detail.  I wonder if I will get a line?  I'd better practice....these pretzels are making me thirsty....these pretzels are making me thirsty...these pretzels are making me thirsty....ACTION!
