And… Action!

Today was a stressful, but fun day on many levels. When I woke up this morning I was still in a haze after some super realistic dream. You know that feeling? I must have been so exhausted from the fashion show last night and all the stuff that’s going on in my life right now that I just pulled the plug and slept like a baby in Salvador Dali Land….

I woke up to a shoot on ‘Madoff with America’. A feature film that screens in Cannes May 2010. I think already mentioned it, but the cast includes Michael Madsen, Rachel Hunter, Tom Sizemore and many other super good actors, not to mention the crew.

I always love to get on set and find out how the dynamics are and how the director works.

Like with anything there’s tons of waiting time on set when you are not the lead (and most times actually also when you are the lead). Change of location, light change, this that and the other… And it all adds up to the fact that you become better and better at adjusting super fast to any given situation. Today was for instance only improv for me. I LOVE improv! So I had a blast.

I don’t know why I just thought of this, but I remember one day when I was still a student of Bill Esper in New York, the Acting Studio had invited actress and Esper alumni Patricia Heaton to a ‘talk back’. I remember her saying something a long the lines of: ”Going on a film or TV set is like a passionate love affair”… and I know what she means. Yes, there can be tons of drama and bad vibes on set, but really…. A lot of filmmakers are very passionate and love what they do and when you are lucky enough to team up with them it’s the best!

here are a some snap shots from today:
