Let the filmmaking begin!

Today was a preproduction day of scouting locations, meeting with hair and make-up people, discussing costumes, and rehearsing (in my living room). Our team was all over the city getting things ready for our shoot that starts Thursday!

I’m most impressed with people passionate about art that they would be willing to give their time for free to not only make a good story, but simply to work together-knowing that something supernatural happens in the community of filmmaking!

Here’s some lighting testing going on in the FOX theatre in which we get to shoot! We are so excited!

One of our special crew members is a long time Bay Area, Filmmaking native-Ned Kopp (below). He’s been working in films since the 1970′s. He’s worked w/ Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, and now us. Totally free because he loves filmmaking! And below is Tammy Calderon. This will be her second film she’s worked hair and make-up. It’s awesome to watch her light up and give her input. She’ll also be bringing some of her students from her cosmetology program to help! Thanks everyone!

Here is our director, Kerwin Kuniyoshi, sharing his vision for the film!

For the past couple years I’ve acted in a short sketch on Christmas Eve to dramatize the message of Christmas. This year, and for the first time in my life, I had a puppet as a co-star.

We affectionately called her, “Fluffy,”

One great way to get a film produced is to have a DEADLINE. So many films never get completed and end up staying in post-production limbo but.. when you enter a contest you have some incentive. We had 48hrs to complete a short film and I’m glad to say we did and it turned out awesome. It was for the

My friend Tammy came to do hair! Theresa, getting her hair done, has been a long time friend on numerous sets and so fun to work together!

Shooting a spot for the very creative and artisitc HOTEL TRITON (a Kimpton Hotel).

Working with reknown photographer CRIS MOLINA.
This guy has been all over the world and worked with Elle Magazine (USA, and Turkey), Hilton Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Kimpton and Hyatt Hotels, Coca-Cola Company (Europe, Asia, and USA), Time Warner Music, HBO, Fox Networks, Neiman Marcus, Armani, Donna Karan and, Oscar De La Renta to name a few.

I signed a contract saying I wouldn’t post any pics from the shoot or blog about what we are doing/wearing. So I will honor that.

All I can say is that I really like this hotel and I am glad I get to represent them!
