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!

One last thing, if you'll be in Albuquerque in December, I'd love it if you stopped by my 2nd Annual Red Carpet Charity Birthdy Bash. Everything went so well last year, thought we'd try it again.

Now that Summer's (almost) over...

Film Audition - ODD BRODSKY - 7/28/11

It's been a slooowww summer, but I've been trying my best to stay busy outside of my day job. What are actors taught? Do AT LEAST one thing per day to further your acting career? Well, in 2011, I've been giving it the old college try.

- Recently, I've been working with my manager to figure out the best time for me to make a trip to Los Angeles this coming Fall.
- I started planning my 2nd Annual Birthday Bash super early this year. Hoping to meet with a venue and a new charity later this week. SAVE THE DATE! The party is scheduled for Saturday, December 17th, 2011.
- If you haven't noticed, I've also started writing articles for Yahoo!, which I'm super excited about! It feels good to share some of the things I've learned in the industry over the years. If you have a topic you'd like for me to cover, please let me know.

I was super excited about the audition I had last week. It was my first time (ever) reading for a LEAD Role in a Feature Film. Although I haven't heard back, I think I gave my best interpretation of the character. So, we'll see...

Even when things get sluggish, you just gotta keep it movin!

XOXO...

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!

"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!
