My Day at Jedi Camp
(Saturday May 5, 2012) Earlier today, I was teaching young kids how yoga can help them access The Force. No, I’m not really an instructor. Simply an actress who worked on the set of First Glance Film’s Star Wars fan series Jedi Camp. First Glance held a Kickstarter campaign a few months ago to raise money for their series and, in part, to spread the message against anti-bullying. We all remember the story of the young girl who was bullied for liking Star Wars (um…that still makes no sense to me, and I’m a grown ass woman who loves these films!) It’s a great cause, and I was happy I could help spread that message.
SKYRIM: To Lydia with Love
Below you’ll find the making of this parody, cast/crew, costumes, photos and press.
My Costumes Featured on the Cover of Faery World Magazine
Faery World Magazine is featuring my inspiring faery costume designs in their Jan-June (biannual) issue… and I’m on the cover! I wrote an article titled “Embodying Your Magical Self” regarding how I create my work and being an all-round fantasy geek.
Geek Girls Creating Their Own Films & Shows
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to create my own panel at LA’s first Comikaze Expo (@ComikazeExpo). It was an incredible experience, and one that deserves a bit of recognition… not to mention the powerhouse of ladies who made it a success!
Along with myself (representing Think Hero and Fight Class), the panel included: Leah Cevoli (Robot Chicken), Stephanie Thorpe (ElfQuest), Crix Lee (GirlGamer.com), Helenna Santos Levy (American Reunion) and Jessica Mills (Awkward Embraces). Moderated by voice-over master Spike Spencer.
Fight Class Goes to Neverland with ‘Hook’
2011 marks the 20th anniversary of Speilberg’s famous live-action film Hook, and since our swordmasters were the original fight choreographers for the film, we wanted to celebrate! With swords, of course. Fight Class brought in the leader of the Lost Boys himself—Rufio (Dante Basco)—for a fabulous two-part tribute.
Amy Winehouse Sketch
I got an e-mail from my manager at close to midnight for an audition (and shoot if I booked) for the next morning. I’d be playing Amy Winehouse in a rehab sketch. So I got all dolled up as best I could… black bra, black eyeliner, crazy hair. Oh and I tried to get her mannerisms and British accent down in under an hour! (No I didn’t book it. They chose someone before I even got the video to them.)
Comic-Con 2011 TV Interviews: Vampires & Witches
You all know how much I love The Vampire Diaries and have seen my reviews for Think Hero, but when I got the chance to interview the cast one-on-one… woot! My goal here was to just have fun and showcase the actors’ personalities. Especially Paul, who is so hilarious and easy to banter with! Why ask the same exact questions as everyone else?
Comic-Con 2011: I Am Spartacus
Steven DeKnight and Liam McIntyre sit down with us to chat about season 2 Spartacus: Vengeance, just meeting each other for the first time, how much fun the cast has on set and what we’ll do without Batiatus.
