Back in Califas!...

So, I’ve been back in Los Angeles for a few weeks now, and although we’re still trying to get settled in, I’ve managed to get some career stuff done. It feels weird to be back. It’s been a real challenge trying to pick up where I left off. After being away 2 ½ years, I certainly have A LOT of catching up to do; personally and professionally.

I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve had a couple of auditions lately. One was for a Feature Film and the other was for a TV Show that I’ve booked in the past, but was written out of before it shot.

Speaking of being written out...

Just before I left New Mexico, I went to a Cast and Crew Screening for the Feature Film GOATS. You know, the film I’ve been gushing about for months? Now, this has certainly happened to me before, but it’s always a major bummer to discover that you’ve wound up on the cutting room floor. Especially when you’re at a screening for the film! Doh! I think the toughest pill to swallow was the fact that I was also cut from the credits. THAT has never happened to me before. Oh well, you live and learn.

Another thing I did just before I left New Mexico was finalize brand new Theatrical and Commercial Demo Reels. Special thanks to the folks over at Exhibit A Productions for a job well done!

Take a gander below:

"March"ing On...

I tell you, no matter how much I venture out into other areas in the industry, the theater always brings me back to my roots, whether it be on or off the stage! An exciting new venture has me partnering with an established, wildly popular, theater group out of St. Louis, MO: JPEK CreativeWorks, LLC. JPEK will begin touring their urban musical stage production, REAL LIFE, throughout the US in late 2012.

This partnership finds Mighty Moore Entertainment assisting with the show set to go up in the Albuquerque, NM area in the Spring of 2013. Thanks to Joel P.E. King (who is compared to Tyler Perry and even the legendary, August Wilson) for this opportunity. ;)... Much of the casting will be done locally, so be on the look out for casting call notices New Mexicans! In addition, sponsorship information will be going out in the next few weeks for this production, as well as my annual Charity Event in December, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, 12/15/12.

Please send an email to info@mightymoore.com if you’d like more information on how your business can help sponsor both or either event.

Speaking of my annual Charity Event, I recently accepted a position as Board Member for Asthma Allies. (The organization we partnered with last year.) As a result, I've decided to continue partnering with AA indefinitely for my parties each year. Many don’t know that I’ve suffered from asthma since birth, my husband was diagnosed as a teenager, and one of my daughters has asthma. So, they are a perfect fit for my philanthropist efforts in New Mexico!

What else have I been up to?

- Getting ready for my return to Los Angeles!
- Took my girls to their first professional photo shoot about a week ago. We had a few stumbling blocks, but everything worked itself out. I’ll be sure to post the pics we choose.
- This past Sunday, I was an invited special guest at the The Oscar Night® America Party at the Kimo Theatre in Albuquerque. It was an awesome party that the mayor and city of Albuquerque threw. Red carpet, food, drinks, and tons of swag. First rate! I’ll definitely go again next year if I’m in town. See pics below, a few of which were taken by photographer Cheo Tapia.

Coming up?

- GOATS Screening with Cast and Crew this weekend!
- Premiering a new Demo Reel next week!
- The BIG MOVE!…

- Upcoming Guest Appearance at Miss Expo - Long Beach in late April. Please come out and bring the tween in your life: http://missexpo.eventbrite.com/!

Hey, Hey, Hey - Happy New Year!...

1st Day of 2012, and I wanted to make sure I started the year out right! :)...

- Hopefully you’ve had the opportunity to watch the 3 Asthma Allies PSA’s I posted last month. Some pics from the shoot are below. This had to be one of the COLDEST shoots I’ve ever, ever been a part of! Lol. The end result was well worth it though, and I can’t wait to announce the airdate(s) for the spots.
- I also hope you had time to read the press release about my 2nd Annual Red Carpet Charity Event that I posted last month as well. It too was a success! Thank everyone so much for their continued encouragement and support. Photos and party footage coming soon!
- One of my LAUP VO spots is running again. It's always pretty sweet when an old project resurfaces. :)...
- Got word that the film, GOATS, that I worked on in the Spring of 2011, will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later this month! Woo hoo!
- Yes, the rumors are true. The plan is to return to Los Angeles soon.

Lots of things brewing in 2012.

Stay tuned...

"Nursing" a Callback...

Feature Film - ODD THOMAS - 3/31/11 (Taya-Morgan, Kenyah, and I)

Less than a week after I shot my GOATS scene, production wrapped, and my husband and I headed down to Seasons in old town Albuquerque to hobnob with cast and crew at the wrap party. It was fun! (See pics below.) Now, I'm anxiously awaiting information about the premiere this coming Fall. It would be my first premiere for a project that I'm a part of, so hopefully I'll get an invite. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm always anxiously waiting for something, huh? Lol...

As of today, I'm working on:

- Getting my most recent footage for a new demo reel.
- Toying with the idea of getting new photos done. Again!...
- Still trying to get this theater thing going, but now I have a new hurdle. The facility that I wanted to use has come under scrutiny by governor Susana Martinez. It looks like she has shifted her attention from damaging the NM film industry to damaging NM theater. See: http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/politics/protesters-oppose-martinez. But, since I refuse to head down a path of negativity today, I'll be promptly moving on...

A couple of weeks ago, my girls and I auditioned for the same feature film. They auditioned for the roles of two young orphaned sisters, and I auditioned for the role of a nurse. Yep, another nurse. :)... Still waiting to hear if a callback is in any of our near futures, but we had fun with it.

The animated short film, THE DEPRESSION OF DETECTIVE DOWNS 2: ON DEPRESSION'S EDGE, is now available for viewing online! Here is the link: http://www.shenitamoore.com/detectivedowns2.htm. If you can, please let me know what you think by posting comments here and on the film's Vimeo page.

What else? Oh yeah, my charity birthday bash for 2011. Right now, I'm looking at Saturday, December 17th. One week before Christmas. That date might be a little risky, but we'll see. Currently searching for a venue...

Until next time!

P.S. Want to become a real nurse? Learn more at Best Nursing Schools.

Film at 11...

Let me be the first to say that director Christopher Neil is one of the nicest directors I've ever worked with! On Sunday, 3/20, I was called to the set of the feature film GOATS to shoot my scene with Alan Ruck, Graham Phillips, and Ronnie Rubalcaba. (See pics below.) Although many of us were suffering from some form of allergy, a fun time was had by all. Alan is hilarious, and considering the rest of the cast, I think this movie is going to do really, really well! I'll be sure to share more information as I get it.

Gotten word that the animated short (THE DEPRESSION OF DETECTIVE DOWNS 2), that I recorded some time back, will be screening next month. Here is a link to one of the songs on the soundtrack. Hopefully I'll get to see the film and share it soon.

We're currently exploring the option of putting QVW on the internet. Details coming soon!

Going with my church's youth drama group to AZ for a competition next month has been cancelled. Bummed! -- But we've decided that we're going to perform it at church. The kids have worked so hard, and we don't want to let all that talent and hours of rehearsal go to waste! I'll be stepping in and playing a role too. Should be fun.

Spring is upon us, which means Pilot Season will soon be over. I was hoping to have an opportunity to fly back to Los Angeles for a bit, but that's looking very unlikely. My manager and I have agreed that I should hold off on coming to L.A. until I'm needed there. In the meantime, I'll be checking my voicemail and email for NM auditions. There are a lot of projects coming over the horizon! :)...

Plus size modeling, you ask? Never heard back from the folks I submitted to. Not sure my heart would've been in it anyways. So, promptly moving on...

What I AM going to do is revive the theater project I wanted to produce this year. I really like this producing/publicity stuff. I'm thinking maybe August or September. I gotta check the theater and talent availability though. I also need to get started on my birthday event. Although it all came together last year, it was tough pulling those sponsors together for my party at the last minute. Either everyone had already run out of sponsorship money/goods for the year or I was competing with holiday stuff. I think I might submit both events as a package deal and see what I can come up with. Lots to do. Lots to do. No time for rest! :)...

Lastly, and I just wanted to share this real quickly: Growing up, my parents used to take my siblings and I to see this variety show called Tops in Blue. I feel as if these shows are truly a part of why I ended up on stage at such a young age. I was excited to have been able to share this experience with my little ones last week. These active duty Air Force men and women are truly an inspiration! Here is a snippet of what they can do. Enjoy!

1st Audition of the Year +++

Film Audition – GOATS – 1/14/11

I was told by the CD that I "nailed it." This film stars David Duchovny. Funny thing is, less than an hour after the audition, I'm standing next to a woman whose phone rings, and she has an X-FILES ringtone. Coincidence?!? I hope not! Callbacks are next week. Crossing my fingers and toes. :D...

Also last week:

- Was offered a part in a short film, which I was very honored by. More info to come soon.
- Had a VERY PRODUCTIVE conversation with my manager, laying the groundwork for what we hope to be a stellar 2011!
- Toured the AAPAC in hopes of doing some things there this year. What a beautiful facility!
- And, last but not least, the Film and Fashion Industry Night that I was the special guest for on 1/12/11 was a lot of fun! Special thanks to Stephen Cuomo for asking me to come out. (See pics below, first three taken by photographer Michael P. D'Arco.)

2011 is looking good!
