The only other one I can think of is Annabelle's sister in JUST LISTEN.

Project 17 by Stolarz is another title with a focus on film making. In order to win a film contest a high school senior gathers an eclectic group of teens who spend the night at a deserted mental hospital before it's torn down so he can shoot their reactions.

Laurie is very kind, and I have a lot of fun helping her with her website. That reminds me, I have to add the BiFN series to my psychics booklist! :)
