Filming Fun!

For those of you that don't know, I LOVE making movies! I love film! Everything about it! I especially love making films with my girl Kel! aka Boobra haha. . . but that's another story. I have been so lucky to be a part of the Utah film industry. Hopefully one day I'll make it to Hollywood! :) Anyway here are some projects that I've been working on lately.

*Prepare yourself. . . I do not look like me!*
A couple film friends are putting together a "Utah Haunt Tour". They are going around to different haunted houses and doing interviews, filming some rooms, filming the actors, etc. They want to give people a feel of what to expect at each one. So they asked me to be their host. I've never done anything like this. It was a lot like news broadcasting, but I had a blast!

This one was at the Castle of Chaos! They have an incredible make up artist on staff named Chris Hanson! He is so amazing. He has worked in the film world doing make-up for a long time! If any of you have heard of "Hell Boy" he did the main character "Red" He is so talented and what was even more cool was he grew up in Murray as well! He went to Murray High! I thought that was pretty cool. ANYWAY. . . so he asked if I wanted to be turned into a vampire and I said "UH YES PLEASE!" So here are the pics. . .

This is the finished product!


The AMAZING Chris Hanson working his magic. (I look so lame on the phone haha oh well Jace was lost. *He got to come with me!*)

Yup its really me! Isn't that soooooo cool? Who thought you could do that with an airbrush and makeup?

My little sister said I looked like I was 40 haha. After filming we went to a party where I scared the crap out of Jace's friends and then went to my Mom's and my little sister was watching TV on the couch and I went in and scared her. It was hillarious! Her eyes about popped out of her head and she ducked under her covers. haha

"I vant to suck your blood!" :)


So recently my first feature film came out called "American Rejects". These are pictures from the premiere! It was a blast! Pretty good movie too. I worked with so many amazing people! I feel so blessed to have been a part of something so great!

Me with the movie poster. . . my face is on a movie poster *sigh* dream come true!


My family all came out to support me! Austin


Ash and Bryatt


Papa Juan and Mama Lisa


Little bro Brad and little sis Amanda


And of course my amazing, wonderful, beautiful Mommy! She bought me a new dress for my first premiere and made that day soooooo special! I love my Mom!


This is Greg the sound guy! He is AMAZINGLY TALENTED!


And our fearless leader Brandon. He was the writer/director. He is so gifted. I seriously will see him making million dollar movies one day. He was so much fun to work with. I loved his vision and just think the world of him!


This was my co-star Rodney Carlson! He is a great actor and did an incredible job and bringing his character to life!


And last the best of all the game. . . Jace! He has been so supportive and absolutely wonderful through out everything! He is always pushing me to never give up! He is my rock and without him none of this would have been possible! I am so blessed to have such an understanding and supportive husband who I love so much! I don't know what I would do without him!


Many people keep asking where they can see the film and all I know is that they are sending it to a bunch of film festivals and then depending on what happens there it will come out on DVD probably some time next year! I'll keep ya posted!
