That's right, 3 whole years ago. Such is the life of an actor. You do projects and you never know where they will end up, if anywhere....and this one, although it took some time, it did end up somewhere....
Check out my 9/27 blog for previous info --
It was my first premiere as the lead in a film. Of course I was nervous, spotlight is not my favorite thing, believe it or not. I just try to go with it.
But I actually surprised myself. I had a really good time. It was great to see some of the old cast and crew. We were shooting together for almost a month back then - so you become a family. It was great to see this old family of mine. To catch up - everyone really seems to be going places - which I was so happy to see.
There were interviews, pictures taken, drinks afterwards. What a wonderful experience I had! I am so blessed. And, the film looks good too.
Geez, you just never, ever know in this crazy biz.....
AND - this exposure has definitely brought about some cool stuff, which I'll share later ---
Something I learned: when something good like this happens to you, you've got to share it with friends, peers, family. Be smart about it. Use it to gain exposure, let people know you are out there doing cool things. To create opportunities for yourself. You never know who's hands it will fall into - it could be some guy you went to high school with who happens to have a cousin who is a casting director or a writer.
As a friend of mine once told me "when people see you trying, they will help you out."
I agree, but will add, "and vice versa, when you see someone trying, its your duty to help them out." --- Kharmic law in my book ---
