I want to be Steve Martin in the 80s when I grow up.

....that's a contradiction in terms, I know.

Anyway! Something new to squee about: Last week, I auditioned for another student film, a senior thesis. It's a vampire film, called "Curse of the Blood Ruby". And I got in, as the main girl. I get captured by a vampire and get to kill it. With a ( Read more... )

The writer/director's name is Robert Quick.

BTW, how does one go about putting together a reel, anyway? Sounds like it's a bunch of one's scenes spliced together, but is there an accepted format? An average length? What's the dealio?

As for format, simple is best: your name and contact info at the beginning and end, clips in the middle, and maybe caption the clips as they come up (e.g. "Pat Gets a Cat, Northwestern University"). Lead off with your strongest material, and of course pick scenes ( ... )

Thankoo!

BTW, I don't think I commented on it at your LJ, but I found that James Bond thing you did rather amusing. "Get some pants." Teehee.

Did you watch the trailer? That's awesome, thanks! I expect the Oscar people to be calling any time now.

"Yeah uh, we were so moved we thought we'd just give you everything. Including best score."
