"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!

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!

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...

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!

Today is THE day...

Print Audition - MARRIOTT - 12/1/10 (Taya-Morgan and Kenyah)

Wow. Fortunately, I’m able to say that I wrapped up 2010 on a high note. My Red Carpet Birthday Bash turned out better than I could have ever hoped for (see pics here taken by Jessica Quinn of Visiones Photography: http://www.visiones.smugmug.com/), the holidays went wonderfully well, and I have a lot already planned for 2011! Some exciting key points:

• The AVENGERS will be shooting in New Mexico Spring 2011. All I need is an audition, I tell ya! Lol.
• Several Episodics and a few Features (that were pushed from last year) will start filming in the next several weeks.
• I recently did an interview for an online magazine. Hope to be able to share a link soon.
• I had another person encourage me to get into plus size modeling. So, I submitted to an agency last week. We'll see what happens.
• I’ll be touring theater facilities (starting this week) for an event I’m planning for Spring 2011.
• I’ll be the special guest at a networking event tomorrow night, 01/12/11, in Albuquerque. If you're in town, drop by: www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=184691708215944.

Okay. Okay. Stop the presses! Yes, things are going well and I’ve already hit the ground running in 2011, but honestly, do we really know where we’re headed? Sure, I can make all the plans I want, but I don’t know where I’ll be at the end of this week, nevermind this Spring or Fall. Bringing me to my one and only New Year’s Resolution.

"Starting ASAP, I will do my best to live in the
moment, taking one day at a time!"

I will eat healthy TODAY and work out TODAY. I will spend quality time with my husband and kids TODAY. I will do something that makes another person smile TODAY. I will tell someone I love them TODAY. I will stop and smell the roses TODAY. I will be thankful for my blessings TODAY. Because all we really have is TODAY. Right? Right. Right!
