One inch..

So, who didn't LOVE this documentary?

Welp, in two weeks I am shooting a short film with the cinematographer who filmed it. Well, I wont shoot it as much as i will just act in it. I am pretty excited about it. And I owe it all to Janelle. It's a 48 hour deal so I have no idea what I will be doing but I went to meet him and his wife today and it was amazing. They have 2 little boys, Indiana Jones "Indy" and R2. I am already in love with that little family.

It will be nice to have a new project. Lots of other auditions coming up too.. I didn't make the theatre company in New York.. I was pretty much knew I wouldn't. Funny how that didn't make it much more awesome to hear. Rejection is never all that much fun, even if you are kind of expecting it. BUT, the day after I got my rejection letter, the guy who played Shamraev in the Seagull called to tell me that BYU had awarded me "Best Character Actress" of 2007-2008! I really have no idea what that means, and I doubt that award has any far reaching significance but it made me feel good. Because honestly, sometimes as an actress, it's hard to hold on. I feel like I am often one inch from giving up, and then some small thing will happen to spur me along... Just something little to say, 'don't you give up now, no no no'..

I have to write a political theatre play for one of my finals. I have no idea what to write that about. Any suggestions? I started writing some short films, but they are not exactly political.. I want to get those films done. Hopefully this summer will mean good things.. artistically. And it's looking like in the fall, I will be back at BYU. So, there you go. Life.
