The Haunted Hathaways

So the Nickelodeon show i mentioned in a previous post was "The Haunted Hathaways" which aired this week. In the episode "Haunted Besties" Miles conjures up Big Foot on a pogo-stick, a Hip-Hopping pilgrim and a British Nanny juggling lobsters (me!). Suffice to say the lobsters were not alive and luckily I had a few days to practice with them on the paramount lot. 

Host House

Shooting a short film. This is called "Host House" directed and written by Lok Hwa of UCLA. I play a mom and it's a suspense/horror. 

Husband played by Dean Bruggeman and our lovely daughter is Toni Gaal.

Red Carpet Dress

For a wedding in Glendale I did the "Red Carpet Dress" with Manenah events.
The Red Carpet IS my dress and I was handing out red roses to all the ladies.

S.W.O.T part 2

Mid-July we filmed and wrapped "SWOT analysis". I was on set for 3 days. 2 of the days in our office set location at Remmet Studios for the interiors and one day on Wilshire Blvd for the exterior of the office.

It was wonderful to work with new director Palesa Lebona, who has a great eye, talent and is a joy to work with.

I was playing "Jane Smith" a PA. The CEO was played by James Covert, and the other cast were Alesia Etinoff, Ryan Timberlake and Dennis Irwin. There will be a screening at Warner Brothers in September.

Michael Madson drove by and stopped to chat for a while..!

Update: sep 18th 2014

Tonight was the screening of the film at The New York Film Academy.

And re-titled as "The Perfect Brew". 

Was great to see Palesa again, and a lot of the crew too, and of course great to see the film :)

Trapeze girls

Last week I did a days filming on a new TV comedy show set in a Circus school! The location was the wonderful Cirque School LA on Hollywood Blvd. 

We were working out, stretching, and throwing tricks on the Trapeze. 

Watch out for updates :)

S.W.O.T

Just got cast in a Short Film written and directed by Palesa Lebona. Shooting over next couple of weeks!

Paramount Studios

This week I'm at Paramount Studios doing a spot on "The Haunted Hathaways" a Nickelodeon show. 

This was the only Major studio lot I'd not previously worked on so it's very cool to be here finally for a few days and work on such a fun show. 

Won't give away plot details till it comes out so watch this space!

Blumhouse horror, and a few Short Films

Recently i was fortunate enough to be filming 4 projects - almost back to back! The first was a new Blumhouse horror film titled "The Veil" set for a 2015 release and starring Jessica Alba, Lily Rabe and Thomas Jane, on which i was on set a few days.
Some info on the film is already in the press, so it's safe to say i was playing one of the "Cult members". Not gonna give away plot details of course, but it was pretty creepy and I love creepy!

Then, i was cast in 3 Student Film projects which turned out to be awesome roles and jolly good fun.

No 1. A one day shoot at USC for a short film entitled "Cookie" in which i played The Interviewer.
Directed by Tony Rettenmaier, this Sci-Fi, artfully shot film gave me another chance to be creepy.

No 2. A two day shoot in Valencia for CalArts. I played Maya in "Maya's profile".

Parks and Recreation #UnityConcert

I recently did Stilt-walking for 2 episodes of Parks & Rec, which was Awesome!!
Season 6 was all about the merger and the #Unityconcert.....which we got to see in the finale.

A few of us were "auditioning" for the local talent stage in ep. 618.
I was stilt-dancing with Vanessa Marie Nicholson, and did a whip-cracking trick with Ruth Wilhoit (who was on her phone while hula-hooping, haha, and who kindly and bravely held my flower while i whipped it out of her hands - thanks Ruth!).

Then we did stilts at the Season Finale Unity concert filming, which was a huge shoot day...and we didnt quite make the TV ep but heres some set photos:

Champagne Diva in Glendale..
