Primed and Ready for FALL!

Producers Session (Straight to Callbacks) - MAD MEN - 8/10/11

I flew back to Los Angeles for this audition, so I was bummed that I never heard anything. It went EXTREMELY well, but oh well. What can you do?...

I was also bummed to recently hear that BREAKING BAD was going to finish up with one last season. Now that I've had the opportunity to work on IN PLAIN SIGHT, THIS show is starting to remind me of my experiences with THE SHIELD. Dang! Lol.

In other news, I have a lot in the works right now. I'm in the process of ushering out the old and bringing in the new. Several great projects on the horizon, and I'm sooooo excited! Trying not to share until each of them are finalized though.

Here is my second article as a Yahoo! Contributor, please leave a comment for me after reading! www.associatedcontent.com/article/8297349/steps_to_get_your_child_started_in.html?cat=25. :)... I also had a special 9/11 article that I wrote published on Yahoo! News: http://news.yahoo.com/silence-deafened-l-9-11-tore-entire-country-224800923.html!

Springtime Smorgasbord!

TV Audition - BREAKING BAD - 5/13/11
Callback - BREAKING BAD - 5/17/11

Okay, so here is an “I MET” that I promised I’d spill waaayyy back in January...

It’s hard for me to recall ALL the details of this story because it was quite some time ago, but what I do remember is that it wasn’t long after I’d moved to Los Angeles. It was late evening. I was hungry. Both my roommates had plans. So, I decided on a whim, to treat myself to dinner.

It was a little American Bistro (or French, I can’t recall), not too far from where I was living at the time, just off Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. I’d ordered my entree and was watching passersby on the rooftop patio when a group of older black women settled in at a huge dining table right next to me. It seemed to be some kind of social networking or business presentation type of thing.

Anyway, after a while, the women seemed to notice that I was eating alone, so they made a huge deal about me joining them for the rest of the evening. I finally obliged...

I remember lots of good food, drinks, laughter, and surprise on my part that I was having fun with this group of elderly strangers. (I was early 20's at the time, so I thought every one over 35 was elderly. Lol.)

For some reason, the woman right next to me stood out. She was familiar, beautiful, elegant, but I couldn’t place her. I caught myself studying her face several times during the course of the evening. Why did I know her?

Things ended, I thanked them, hugs and numbers exchanged, and I had no further thought about it, until a couple of days later, it suddenly dawned on me...

NICHELLE NICHOLS!! The Star Trek actress...

I had just hung out with this legendary woman and all her friends and I didn’t even know who she was. I hadn’t made it count!

- I didn’t get an autograph.
- I didn’t get a picture.
- And most importantly, I didn’t get to ask for advice.

DOH! You better believe that from that moment on, I knew who was who in Hollywood. I still kick myself to this day when I think about that night. Lol.

Okay, egg off my face and moving on...

- The NOT ONBOARD trailer is up! Right now, the only place you can see it is on Facebook. Check it out here, if you can: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150175193996114.
- Looks like the possibility of me returning to IN PLAIN SIGHT and the theater project I toyed with are no more...:(...
- However! I am up for another role on BREAKING BAD. Still waiting to hear something...:)...
- Had the most informative conversation with an accomplished author/illustrator at the start of the week. Putting together some stuff to send to him so that hopefully I can get my book done in 2011.
- Lastly, on 5/7, my family and I attended Bob Nuchow's LEGACY ART ALBUQUERQUE meet and greet at the Frontier restaurant where I had the opportunity to meet Lou Diamond Phillips and Adam Beach. (See pics below taken by photographer Cheo Tapia.)




See ya soon!

Yep! No time for R-E-S-T...

TV Audition/Callback – BREAKING BAD – 1/31/11
Table Read – NOT ONBOARD – 2/12/11

Today I was up bright and early, driving out to Santa Fe to film a scene in a short I was asked to be a part of. We were outside, so we almost froze to death, but it was great fun! (See pics below with fellow castmates Sandi Kay and James Douglas. Castmates Allan and Dia Gaitirira and director Belle Allen are not pictured.) The short, called NOT ONBOARD is one of two bookings I’ve garnered since the beginning of the year. The other is the feature film with David Duchovny I mentioned in my last post. Yes, I booked it. Yippee! I’m set to shoot that film in early March. :)…

All in all, 2011 has started out on a good note. The only disappointment I’ve had thus far is that once again I’ve had to push back an event I wanted to produce this Spring. I’ve just been too busy to get the ball rolling on it. Maybe I’ll do it sometime this Summer. We’ll see.

So, the BREAKING BAD audition I had at the end of January was quite interesting. Not only was I asked to go in on the wrong day to audition for the wrong part, the director was a bit eccentric, and it also kinda screwed things up with my day job. Oh well, I’m determined to work on that show in some capacity this season. I’m speaking it into existence right now! Lol. Actually, if you recall, I booked it back in 2009, but the part was ultimately written out.

This April is going to bring a new experience for me. I think I might have mentioned once or twice that I’ve been working with a youth drama group at my church since last Fall. Well, in April we will have a chance to showcase what we’ve been working on as part of a competition in Arizona. I'm much more nervous about this than I thought I’d be, but I’m sure my kids will do well! :D...

Til next time...

Ringing in the New Decade...

VO Audition – Cesari Direct – 12/23/09

I’ll start by saying: “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” I hope that you all enjoyed the Holiday Season. I had a wonderful time. I was fortunate enough to spend it with friends and family out at my dad’s farm. YES, the kids got more than they needed under the Christmas Tree. YES, I gained a couple of pounds. And, YES, I’m planning on getting back in the gym ASAP. Same as last year. Lol.

Besides the holiday rush, I’ve been busy, very busy working. Among other things I've been planning the QVW Screening, managing Mass Appeal and writing a proposal for a new producing venture I’d like to start in 2010.

A few of my highlights for the last couple of months include:

• In late October, when I flew back to Los Angeles for the Breast Cancer Luncheon I was the Mistress of Ceremony for, I also attended the 4th Annual Love Your Body Day Launch Party in Hollywood. Here is footage from that party: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC8LKzxxSL8.
  

• In November I attended a comedy show starring Steven Michael Quezada, which most of the BREAKING BAD cast and crew attended. The show was hilarious, and it was fun meeting and hanging out with everyone. That night Bryan Cranston also gave me a bit of acting advice. INTERESTING TIDBIT: The following week, just before Thanksgiving, I ran into Bryan at LAX, and he remembered meeting me the week before. We chatted for a couple of minutes. Really nice guy. ;)…
  

• In December I attended a screening of an indie film called A LONELY PLACE FOR DYING. The film was pretty good and definitely inspired me to continue in my filmmaking endeavors. I also got to meet some of the local industry folk in Albuquerque.

• Find more pictures from the events above on my website or any of my pages.

Other Stuff:

• Finally created a FB Fanpage for myself. If you're on FB, please become a fan! www.facebook.com/pages/Shenita-Moore/250169939458.
  

• Meeting with an organization this week to discuss the new producing venture I have in mind. It involves theater. Say a little pray for me!
  

• Later this month I'll be traveling back to Los Angeles for the QVW Screening. Join us: www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=230382226207&ref=mf. Admission is FREE. Also, we’re still accepting items for our VIP Gift Bags. Email info@mightymoore.com for more information.
  

• Got a few other things in the fire. Producing, acting and otherwise. Just keeping the lid on until there’s something more to say…:)…

Lastly, after almost 5 years of blogging, I must admit that I’m so happy to have such a trusted group of readers. You guys really encourage me to keep at it and to follow my dreams. I encourage each and every one of you to do the same.

Live long and prosper!

Mid-November Update...

Producers Session (Straight to Callbacks) - BREAKING BAD - 11/09/09
VO Audition - ULTIMATE ELECTRONICS - 11/11/09

A couple of days after I got word that I booked BREAKING BAD earlier this month, my agent called to tell me that the scene had been cut. Drats! It's happened to me before, so I understand. Cool thing is, they had me come in again a couple of days ago for a much larger role, and I feel like it went really well! Still waiting to hear back, so we'll see...:)...

I'm really excited to be working with the VO Agents out of Portland again. I had to take a little time off over the summer to get some new equipment, move, and shoot QUEEN VICTORIA'S WEDDING. Now I'm getting back to it!

Speaking of QUEEN VICTORIA'S WEDDING, we're in the midst of post-production and planning the big screening, which has been pushed back to late January 2010. If you haven't visited our FaceBook FanPage, please do so. In the meantime, check out the new poster for the film.

MME just signed our first music group for management. Please befriend New Mexico's own MASS APPEAL on MySpace, follow them on Twitter, and become a fan on their FaceBook FanPage. Frequent updates about these guys coming soon! :)...

Last but not least, my girl Tanika Brown McKelvy has rejoined the blogosphere! If you've been missing her updates and pearls of wisdom, click here to get caught up.
