Scraps Update

We finished filming Scraps on Sunday, October 16, 2011. It was an emotional and frantic whirlwind of a two weeks (for me, at least...everyone else seemed really focused and cool as cucumbers). So much to cram into two little weekends. But somehow, according to a brief shot audit by one of the DP's crew members, we apparently got all of our scenes! There are a few insert photos to be taken, the intro footage to be filmed by moi and then compilation of audio, video, stills and artwork will begin.

Editing this beast of a shortie will be done by a team hand-picked by our DP, Aaron Leong. Aaron will be synching things up and will work on color correction. The rough and fine cuts of the footage will be done by Shawna Smith and sound editing will be done by Ian Webb, all of which will be overseen by Imani and me.

Promotional materials which will be sent out as incentives for donations are in the process of being designed!



I am looking forward to bringing news soon! And, thanks again for all of your support!

Wonderful Wardrobes, Batman!

And next up we have our wardrobe and production assistant, Molly Smith!

Molly Elizabeth Smith was born and raised in the suburbs of Sacramento. She's had a passion for theatre ever since her mother proclaimed that she would win an academy award for 'best tantrum' when she was six years old. Her first real role was Puck in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream, in the third grade, and she still proclaims that to be her best performance. Since then she has acted in over ten shows throughout high school and college (her favorites include Rumors, Beauty and the Beast, and Othello). 

Recently she has been cast as Ismene in the play Antigone at American River College. She has also been a stage manager, sound operator, assistant director and the director of a one act show. Most recently she was an intern at California Musical Theatre in the summer of 2010 and then was asked to come back for a paid position as a professional assistant in the wardrobe department summer of 2011. She is thrilled  to be working on her first independent film project and that she has the pleasure of working with such great people.

Our first hair and make-up girl, Angelica Walsh!

Angelica Walsh was born and raised right here in the Golden State.  She became interested in makeup at a young age.  Inspired by her mother's small brown makeup bag, she just couldn't wait to open it and see what amazing colors waited inside to brightly color her face. Her earliest memory of lipstick was the small Avon sample lipstick.  She just couldn't wait to put it on and hasn't put down the makeup ever since. She has done makeup and hair for proms, weddings, fashion shows and countless other occasions.  She has even done freelance work for MAC cosmetics.  Her favorite makeup artists are Bobbi Brown, Sonia Kashuk, and the late Kevyn Aucoin.  She prays one day to live up to their potential.
