Goldie Blogs You Better!

So I got the role I had mentioned earlier that was filming via the Berkeley Digital Film Institute. It’s a dialogue between very strict and focused Christian girl, Sabrina, *who I played* and her pregnant friend Elise, whom Sabrina attempts to convince to keep the baby.

First, off, mad props to the crew who were not only diligent and focused, but were also very funny and kind. Merci

Producers in action!

Second, DAMN THAT WAS A FAST SHOOT. The whole thing only went from a 10:30am (late) call time to about 3pm. I am super duper impressed that they are students and really have their shiz together. Much <3 to the director who also was really good at explaining direction ("Goldie, I need Sabrina (my character) to be even MORE condescending") and the CUUTTEEEE kitties (that i sadly did not get a pic of).

My costar, “Elise,” and the director, Brandy, in between takes.

Can’t wait to see final cut and see if the lil lady makes it out to the festival circuit!

Soooo, it’s been a while since I’ve had to do any improv involving a random word and making the scene run on it – so imagine my surprise (although I really shouldn’t have been) when i got asked to do improv with a random partner at my callback at Berkeley Digital Film Institute.

One of the biggest things I learned in one of my earlier classes is always say Yes.

You want to run on a scene and have your partner always have something to say. We had two scenarios – one was that we’re both (two female actors) in a Men’s Bathroom. Second is that we’re in a zoo. The first one, my partner looked a bit unsure so I just led the charge and went searching for my boyfriend’s watch while tossing off questions to my partner. The second bit, i pulled my chair next to hers and pretended to be at the aquarium part of the zoo and stared upwards the whole time.

Kinda rusty. But ok.

P.S. big shout-out to the nice actor in the lobby who wished me luck ^^

P.P.S. EVEN BIGGER Shout-out to the new season of Entourage. I just caught up and everything from the Shrooms trip to Llyod’s big ghey party and the DEATH of Alan Grey!! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s show
