Hiya! Back from an inspiring screening of the new movie The East followed by a talk back with Ellen Page, the director Zal and co-writer/actress Britt. It was definitely food for thought and made me wanna make movies even more than I do now (which is quite a lot). These kind of screenings are set in the beautiful environment of LACMA here in West Hollywood/ Miracle Mile. I visit this museum once in a while because it has beautiful and interesting shows. But tonight’s event convinced me even more, that
Hello, Just dropping in to share a tiny bit of last week’s news. I’m at home on this fabulous Saturday night on memorial weekend writing on a new TV screen play. Was supposed to be at Soho House at a dinner, but last night got a little out of hand to say the least so I decided to stay under the radar tonight. To hit the gym, eat salmon, OD on gummy bears and do a marathon writing session. All on a very mature and adult level. Success rate is
Just got home after a very long day and felt like writing a tiny update from last week even though it’s long after midnight and I should be sleeping. But sometimes I enjoy the quiet alone time I have when the city is less noisy and most (sane) people are fast asleep. After my return from Vegas it seems time just flew with meetings, work and birthdays. Lots of birthdays. A surprise birthday in beautiful Laguna Beach, which is aprox. 1.5 hours from LA, but totally worth the traffic hassle.
I never shared what it was like flying a helicopter for the first time so I thought I’d tell a bit about it now. Oh and PS! By flying a helicopter I don’t mean being a passenger in a helicopter. No! I mean being a helicopter pilot bitches 😉 I cannot disclose why I was asked to take my first helicopter pilot lesson, but I can say that it is on my top 3 list of things I’ve ever done. Wow, it is an adrenalin kick if I ever had
Back in LA again and busy with work. No rest for the wicked baby! 😉 After the amazing shoot in the Hollywood hills on Saturday, which I cannot wait to show you pictures from, my team and beautiful friends went to an improvised dinner at Jorgen Klubien’s house. Jorgen is an amazing, Danish and may I point out celebrity artist, singer, cartoonist and friend. After one too many Margaritas, loads of Thai food and wine we listened to music, chilled out and had fun until it was time to roll
Hello my friends, I’ve been absent for a while on the blog. Not only has my blog and website acted weirdly lately, which has made it difficult to post anything. That aside, I have been super busy with work, which has taken me far away from the blogging stratosphere and into the ‘real world’. But… I missed sitting down, blogging, contemplating and posting a few pictures now and then of what’s going on in my insane world and sharing my thoughts however lame or insightful they might be. Fact is,
What inspires you on a daily basis and what gives you ‘wings to fly’? Yesterday I was interviewed about my inspirations and life as an artist here in Los Angeles. I was sat down in a recording studio adjacent to Santa Monica Airport in front of huge LED lights and asked a bunch of questions while the camera rolled. I guess you could say the interview more or less turned into an interesting conversation between PK Images the interviewer/ director and I. The question; ‘What inspires you as an artist
Who: Aaron Axelrod / Where: Los Angeles / What: Visual Artist Famous for: At the tender age of 18, Aaron was asked to create one of the angel sculptures in front of The Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, which made him the youngest artist to ever do that. He has done designs for Disney, Ed Hardy and numerous set designs for Jay Leno’s ‘Tonight Show’, music sets for the famous music festival Coachella. But his career really took off after he was asked to do a painting of Barack Obama
It’s Weekend. But here in LA LA Land, entertainment central we don’t feel a big difference between Monday and Saturday. Well, perhaps there is a longer line at Trader Joe’s and traffic to the beach is a bitch on Weekends. But the mentality of Hollywood is; tomorrow is always a new day. I might be discovered, bump into Mr. Right, finish my script, get a callback for my audition last week or yeah, like whatever. Meanwhile I can always hit the gym or a yoga class, chill in the sun
So unfortunately there is news that I cannot share yet when it comes to certain aspects of my work. I am not superstitious, but I believe to not jinx your luck. I tried that and had many disappointments during the 4,5 years (almost 5) I have been in this industry. So if you wonder ‘why is she never telling about her movies, new writing endeavors etc..?’. Well, now you know. It’s not because nothing is happening. Sometimes too much is going on and I have to weed out the ‘noise’.
