2nd Viewings

Monday, I watched another screening of Just the Two of Us, this time at Malco's Studio on the Square, or, as I like to call it, the Markus Studio on the Square(just kidding...kinda). Of course, the lead actor/director/writer Keenon Nikita(Poor and Hungry, Right Questions) was there, as was Director of Photography/coeditor Rod Pitts (director: Imagine, What Goes Around). In addition, cast members Travis Stone (Ray, Delusions), Sharon Bishop (21 Grams, Poor and Hungry), Jon Sparks (Delusions, Divine Manipulation of the Threads), Annette (don't know last name, sorry), and several relatives and friends. Shout out to line producer Anne Banks, Lavita's son DJ, who was rocking a nice Polo shirt( I respect his fresh), and an extra special shout out to Carole Rowland (Mail Call, Oz's Lion), who is an extra in Keenon's film. Jon Sparks' lovely wife and talented daughter Jackie were there. Jackie will have a role in Morgan Fox's new film Heart and Strings. Like father, like daughter, eh, Sparky? My good buddy Paul Briggs, Keenon's family, and the producer of Divine Manipulation, Brad Alsobrook. It was really cool to see him there. The film was edited even tighter and it was shorter and better. We all chilled out and posed for pictures afterward. It was a nice event. Keenon even called me by my alias, King Indie. You know it, baby!!! I believe a good time was had by all.

Last night, Bryan and I viewed Divine Manipulation; my second viewing, his first. Brad Alsobrook was there as well, spreading that nasty rumor that I'm in every film. I'm not in every film, just a MAJORITY of the films. There is a difference, people! We were joined by about ten other people. I was saddened...To my cast and crew, and people who actually care, let's get the word out! Let's make these last two days memorable! Let's fill those seats! Let me stop using exclamation points!!! Okay, I'm done.

Today, I am supposed to rehearse a scene for the next Oddly Buoyant Production, Eat. It'll be a short scene, a one day shoot. Another funny, geeky character, which seems to be my niche...for now. Read and adhere to the plugs following this sentence, and be easy, readers! (I had to get a few more exclamation points out of my system)

Plug Time!!!
