Headshot time again...

New year, new headshots! Last month I had a very fun shoot with Tandem Photo and Reel, and the results are in. Working with Allison was a great experience. The shoot was quick and enjoyable - and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Tandem to anyone in the LA area who is looking to get new headshots.

Head on over to my headshot gallery to check out all the pics!

Imbroglio: T minus 2 days

It's been a busy couple of weeks, with lots of ups and downs both personally and professionally, but we finally start filming Imbroglio this coming Tuesday morning. So much has happened recently - we found a location (at last! It's different than what we originally imagined, but weirdly perfect); the crew list is complete; and our CD Kate has once again proven herself to be amazing by confirming a seriously awesome cast with whom Christopher and I could not be more thrilled.

The past days have been a complete blur of emails, phone calls, equipment lists, permit fees, contracts, and more - and I'm sure there will still be plenty to do once we're on set! I'm really looking forward to seeing where the actors take their characters, and to working with the amazing crew that we've assembled - some of whom I've known well, and for a while, but many of whom will be brand new to King Fish Productions.

As with any project, it feels like there's more to do than there is time to do it. We've done our best, though, and I think that it's going to turn out really well. It will certainly feel good to see this script come to life! See you on the other side of production!

Auditions from the Other Side

Today we held the first round of auditions for Imbroglio. Well, the first round was a self-tape, so I suppose today was the second round - but it was the first in person! Our Casting Director, Kate, put together an amazing group of actors, and we had such a great time meeting everyone and seeing their takes on the characters.

As always, when I'm behind the table instead of in front of it (in this case a figurative table, but you get the idea), I'm reminded that CDs and producers really are on the actors' sides. Every single person who came in today was brought in because we already liked them, and we went into every scene just waiting and wanting to like them more. Sometimes it's so easy to psych oneself out and get nervous - I know I do! - but I've honestly never met a CD who wasn't wishing all the actors the absolute best. A good thing to remember.

We saw so many talented people today, and have another round of auditions coming up next weekend. I can't wait to see how the cast takes shape!
