Gracias a Lostzilla.net

Posted on: June 19th, 2010 by wmapother 9 Comments
A todos los cineastas lostzilla.net, gracias!
Con mi limitado vocabulario es difícil de expresar mi reacción, pero yo estaba muy afectada. Por supuesto sabemos que hay un público, pero al ver sus rostros y escuchar sus voces y ver su trabajo … Bueno, fue muy conmovedor. Y mi parte era tan pequeño — si después de enviar uno a Damon et Carlton, ustedes probablemente matarlos.
Para su consideración — y lo más importante — para ver Perdidos, por lo que me está dando un puesto de trabajo — gracias!
También 1:  Y you pensé que me gustaba España tanto como sea posible — hasta ahora. : )
También 2:  Gracias, Elena, por todo tu trabajo!
[Non-translation explanation:  Partly as a thank-you for the show and partly for the video I made for them for the finale [post here], some users of the Spanish ‘Lost’ fansite Lostzilla.net recorded a video for me (and all of ‘Lost’) of themselves, one by one, saying thank you.  It was very affecting.]

What’s My Line Again?

Posted on: June 19th, 2010 by wmapother 5 Comments

I’m sometimes asked what it’s like to face an audience.  It’s not something I can put into words, but that’s never stopped me from trying (and wasting people’s time as while I do). However, this may help.  At last weekend’s film festival at the KY Center for the Arts, I wandered onto the stage and took a photo of the empty house.  

Exactly.  That’s why actors need to know their lines so well.  Because you see that, and your brain runs screaming into your butt.

Vamps, Vamps and More of ‘Em

Two more of my episodes on ‘I <3 Vampires’ are now online.  For the less devout among you, I play William, the leader of the vampire clan.  (I know, I know.)

The show was a blast to work on, and for my involvement I owe thanks to the lovely and talented Julie Restivo.  Merci, Julie.

The ep’s (‘William’s Lair’ and ‘Together Forever’) are here.

Well, you can just add your own caption for this one.  : )

WARNING: WEATHER AHEAD

Posted on: June 13th, 2010 by wmapother 2 Comments

We’re holding the Flyover Film Festival at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, and it’s working out beautifully.
However, I was walking down the staircase Friday and saw this sign.  Hmmm.

Walked down a flight of stairs and saw another one just like it.  Wha?

I mean, I know people think things are slow in Kentucky, but lordy — is weather-watching now a group activity?  Kept going (because I missed my floor–that sign I missed) and finally saw this at the bottom:

Ahhh.  Just the Center helping keep heads cool during a Kentucky twister — like the one I survived on April 3, 1974, during the worst outbreak of tornadoes in American history.
But that’s another story.
