The ANSWER to your QUESTION...

For those asking what happened the other day, my peeps got a call from GREY’S ANATOMY about me coming back to shoot another episode. I was literally packed and on my way to the airport when I got the call cancelling. Yes, I was bummed, but I’m VERY happy to know that I'm still on the GREY'S ANATOMY radar! :D…

Keep praying for me ya’ll!

I’m still holding out hope that 2010 will be MY year!

This Dream vs. My Reality...

Film Audition - SEPTEMBER MORNING - 8/25/10
VO Audition - WALMART - 9/9/10

Yes, it's true, now that I'm back at a fulltime day job, I often daydream about the days in which I had the freedom to spend quality time with my kids, be creative at will, workout on the regular, and network with other creative people; but, the reality of the matter is, which I don't think a lot of people realize, is that even though you've seen me, or any other actor for that matter, on television or the big screen doesn't mean we're set for life. Nope, not by any means! Lol. We still have to bust our behinds on the daily just like everyone else, which in most cases, is a REALLY tricky balancing act. That fact makes me so grateful for folks like Ken Osmond aka Eddie Haskell. This week, his actions, have helped soooo many of us actors. I applaud him. Read more here.

A few weeks ago (8/24 and 8/25), I drove myself up to the beautiful city of Los Alamos, NM to shoot the LANL industrial I booked earlier this summer. My calltime was 8am on both days, which meant I had to be ready and out the door by 6am each day. What a wonderful treat it was to have that time to chat with family on the East Coast, watch the sun rise, and soak up the beautiful scenery around me. It was very zen-like. Since things are quite top secret at LANL, I'm not sure if I'll get to see copy of the footage, yet alone share it with the world, but here is a photo I was allowed to take with some fellow actors and LANL employees. We had a lot of fun! :)...

In other news:

• The book agent I'd been emailing back and forth passed on my Children's Book Series. (Yes, I'm writing too. Lol.) It's okay though. Can anyone say self publish?!? One day soon, hopefully.
• In Germany, FRIENDSHIP! was realeased on DVD on 9/9. It should be out here in the U.S. around Christmas, with screenings slated in Los Angeles and New Mexico between now and then. I'll be sure to post more information about the screenings when I get it.
• If you're in the Norfolk, VA area, we'd really appreciate your support of QUEEN VICTORIA'S WEDDING! It will also be screening soon. Details below:
  
  Mid-Atlantic Black Film Festival
  Crispus Attucks Cultural Center
  Norfolk, VA
  Early October 2010. Specific dates and times to come!

• I'm excited to report that this year, I'll be working for the first time as a youth Drama Coach. It's at my church, and we'll be working towards a performance in Spring of 2011. It should be a fun challenge for me. :)...
• I've been approached by someone who'd like to start a Fan Club for me. I'm flattered to say the least. I'll update you all when I get a link.

I think that's just about all I have to report for now. I have a couple of events coming up in October, so be on the lookout for some updates from me then. By the way, for those who are interested, I'm available to make appearances and things of that nature across the U.S., so if you'd like more information on booking me for something, please send an email to: info@mightymoore.com. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE!

As always, thanks for checking in! :)...

Midsummer Wrap-Up...

Industrial Audition – LANL – 07/13/10
Film Audition – BROKEN HORSES – 7/30/10

My head seems to be spinning these days. It’s nice to have a lot going on, but sometimes, things can get just a tad overwhelming! Lol. Last week I started a new day job. I’m excited about it of course, because I’ve been looking for such a long time, but to pile a 40 hour work week on top of everything else I’m doing: WHEW! We’re all adjusting though. So far, so good.

I’ve still been auditioning, and last month I booked an Industrial for LANL! Yippee! I’ll be going up to Los Alamos later this month to shoot it.

A few other things I’ve had going on since last I wrote:

• Last week, I sent the manuscripts for my children’s book series to an interested Literary Agent.
• Last month, I worked (for the first time) as a Production Assistant on a 48 Film Project called LEATHER KITTENS GONE BAD. It was a lot of fun. No pressure. I haven’t had a chance to see the film yet, but I hear it turned out really well! (See on set photos below.)
• I’ve been reading lots of scripts for new projects I might be involved with somehow. Still feeling my way around on those.
• Feeling really good about the Film Audition I had the other day! Unfortunately for me, a great deal of the last several roles I’ve auditioned for, have seen ethnicity changes. Hopefully that doesn’t happen with this project!

JEREMIAH, the short I had on deck to shoot in Los Angeles later this month, had to be pushed again. Hopefully we’ll get it in the can sometime this winter.

That's about it, and unless something else comes up, right now, I’m looking at a weekend trip in October, as my next trip to Los Angeles.

Thanks for checking in! :)...

Summer Summer Summertime...

TV Audition – SCOUNDRELS – 05/09/10
Film Audition – NOBODY DON’T LOVE NOBODY – 05/12/10
Film Audition – LEMONADE MOUTH – 06/08/10

When most of us think of summertime, it's filled with 90 degree weather, hammocks, large glasses of iced tea or lemonade, and too many BBQ invitations to count. If that’s the case, why am I feeling so darned overwhelmed and stressed lately?!? Could it be that I have TOO many great and wonderful things going on at once?

You can ask my parents, I’ve always been one for filling my plate to the brim, and then running around like a crazy woman trying to get things done and on time. Lol.

Last week I returned to ABQ from a 2 ½ week trip to Los Angeles with the family. Much of the trip was leisure, but yes, at least 1/3 of it was business. One of the first things I did while there was meet up with the women behind the short film JEREMIAH. (JEREMIAH is the film I'm currently Associate Producing.) Wonderful progress has been made with this project, and we’re now planning to shoot later this summer.

While in Los Angeles, I was also able to attend several events:

• The Aesthetic Everything Hot Sexy Beautiful Gifting Suite at the BH Country Club in Beverly Hills. (6/4)
• The Let's Kick It For Kenya Charity Event at Eleven Nightclub in West Hollywood. (6/4) - See photo.
• The F.A.M.E. 2010 MOVIE AWARDS Afterparty at the Sofitel Hotel in Los Angeles. (6/7) - See photo.
• The 2010 Columbia University Film Festival at CAA in Century City. (6/10) - See photo.

Actually, I attend a couple of events here in ABQ just before I left as well:

• The YDI Mi Voz Spirits of Enchantment Premiere (5/16)
• The 2010 New Mexico Filmmakers Showcase (5/13) - See photo.

Be sure to scope additional photos from these events (some of which include a few celebrities and I – i.e. Fabio, Jeff Timmons, and Efren Ramirez) on my Facebook and MySpace pages.

Another fantabulous thing I was able to do while in Los Angeles was throw a mega birthday bash for my youngest: Kenyah, who turned 4 earlier this month. Yes, my little mama is not so little anymore. :')…

Currently, I'm gearing up for a day job interview later this week, setting up meetings with some NM filmmakers, reading scripts, and working on a Query Letter to submit to a publisher in NYC for my book series, which is about 90% completed! Yippee! I’m also dancing around the idea of returning to school (again) this coming Fall, so that I can FINALLY get this degree thing on lock. We’ll see though.

So, I guess it’s not so bad to stay super busy. After all, you know what they say about idle hands...
