I SURVIVED THE RED CARPET!
Last Wednesday I was in LA for the Hollywood premiere of Radio Rebel, based on my first novel Shrinking Violet. I had such an amazing time! The whole thing was very surreal. I had met the cast in Vancouver during the summer where I spent two days on the set. I was so pleased with everyone that worked on the movie, really a stellar group of people from the actors to makeup artists to the director and producers.
The premiere was at the AMC City Walk in Hollywood. I got all glammed up, took photos on the red carpet and watched the movie on the big screen. It was really neat to watch the movie with the actors sitting next to me, watching their faces light up when they saw each other on the screen. It was their first time seeing the movie in full too. After we watched the movie we headed over to Jillians for an after party. Just Dance 3 was there, along with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation and several other great sponsors. I met so many cool people including the script writers of the movie Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott. Also there were the songwriters Matthew Tishler and Andrew Ang. And I got to meet my wonderful film agent, Stephen Moore in person.
Here I am with the super talented and equally lovely April Telek who plays Delilah in the movie.
Here I am with the hilarious script writers Jessica Scott and Erik Patterson and of course Debby Ryan.
Here's a red carpet shot of the cast.
Here is Merritt Patterson (the nicest "mean girl" you'll ever meet, she plays Stacy) and Atticus Dean Mitchell who plays Gabe and whom my 7 yr old son was so impressed with.
To my left is Jane Goldenring, the amazing producer who optioned Shrinking Violet and shares my love of chocolate cake:)!
Above: I'm hanging at the after party with Andrew Ang and Matthew Tishler the masterminds behind the catchy tunes in Radio Rebel.
So to sum up my experience at the premiere: AMAZING! And I must say I feel very grateful for my whole journey form the first second I got the idea for Shrinking Violet to publication and then on to the movie! Much love to all those that supported me and my book along the way!
