Big Dreams

OMG! OMG! OMG!!! I am now bouncing off the walls because I am just so damn excited.

About 6 months ago, I registered with a casting agent who works here in the Albuquerque area. They do alot of the local casting for films and what not that are shooting in the area. I figured what the hell, right? I live here and I'm not ugly and I'm available. Being in a movie or show has always been one of my biggest dreams of my life, and at this point in time, I figure I might as well go for it because one day, I won't have any more days left to.

Today I got a call from said agent who was interested in casting me and my car as an extra for a TV pilot that's filming right now. OMG!!! I nearly dropped my phone when I got the voicemail. ME? Really, ME? AND my car? How freaking cool!!!

I called her back and it turns out that they already filled the scene for Monday's shoot, but ....this is the best part...there are other things filming in the area and she said they were interested in using me for them as well. SOOO.....

Who knows what could happen!! I just cannot contain myself right now. I know I am not the thinnest or the prettiest, but you know what, I have always wanted to do this. Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of being in the movies. I love movies. I mean, I really really love movies.

They are so magical to me. I have always been fascinated and mesmerized by the movies. I remember going to the movies all the time as a kid and young adult. I saw everything because I just loved them so much. Now, I don't go to the movies as much, but I do have full cable so I can watch movies whenever I like.

AND....well, at this time, the movie industry has been filming heavily in this area because it's cheap and it's nice here.

Because of that, I've said what the hell? Why not me? Why not now? Why don't I try to at least get to be an extra in a few of them. It'd be cool and it is my dream. Go for it!!

OMG...I am just so freaking happy right now!!!

I swear, if they had called me before, I probably wouldn't have called back because I never would have given myself the chance...but today...

OH no, I am happy and excited as hell. I might actually get to fulfill one of my dreams...one of my BIG dreams....

Speaking part or not, I don't care.....

I have to go dance now!!!

  1. OMG! How exciting!!! YAY!

    just a lil heads up... Remember that they pay YOU, don't you give them any money up front (there is a scam going on up here in the PNW of 'agents' who want to 'help' you get parts).

    Besides that... HAVE A BLAST!!! I can see ya doing great in front of the camera! (and you ARE pretty!)

  2. Thank you! I don't feel all that pretty, but eh. Pretty isn't what it's all about when it comes down to it.

    And thanks for warning me about the scams. I already got the info about the pay and what not from them. It looks like there are several productions that are in town right now which I might get to be a part of!

    I can't wait for it to actually happen.

  3. Congrats! That's so amazingly cool! I've always harbored TV asspirations but they mostly involve Drew Carey telling me "to come of down!" on the Price is Right! Anyhow, if you're up to doing updates I'd love to know how things go.:-D
