New Additions

Yesterday I went to the mall with my friend Gabby. I had bought a cute varsity jacket from Forever 21 (on sale too!) but when I tried it on the jacket fit but was too short for me. So I exchanged it for some new goodies.

 I totally love this necklace. I've been wanting new necklaces for awhile, so I was happy to pick this one out. It can be a nice accent to an edgy outfit.

 This wine-colored chiffon skirt was only $10! I reminds me of the skirts at American Apparel, but it's waaay cheaper. Wine is starting to become my new favorite color to wear.

I got this shirt at JCPenney, also for $10. Voltron was a cartoon from the 80's that came out before Transformers. I love pop culture/cartoon t-shirts. 

Say hello to my new varsity jacket! I saw this in H&M after I bought the other jacket in Forever 21. I liked this one so much better because it was longer on me. Even though it was more money, I caved in and bought it while returning the other. I gotta learn not to but jackets at Forever 21 because they fit too short.

School starts in three weeks, which means I move back in 2! I've already started the early stages of pre-production for my senior thesis film with my producer Alexa. I'm so excited to go back to school and get to work!

Locating Scouting, Casting, and Kevin Smith

Hello everyone. I've been pretty busy as well as lazy, so I haven't updated since my first post. I've done a lot in terms of pre-production for my film. We've raised $325 as of today, with 16 days left. I've been promoting IndieGogo almost twice a day on Facebook, but that doesn't seem to get me much attention.

Last weekend I went back home to Long Island to scout Jones Beach as a potential shooting location. It's only 20 minutes away from where I live. I knew Jones Beach was the perfect location, and scouting only confirmed it.

The wide open space of Jones Beach is perfect for the scenes we have to shoot there. My producer Alexa and I are going through the process of getting a permit to shoot there. It'll cost us $250, which is a reduced fee. It costs $2,500 to shoot in a state park.

This past week I held auditions for the parts of Narsha, Dante, and Grief. I held two two-and-a-half hour casting sessions. The first day I already had a favorite for each role. The second day I found some more. I think I know who I want to cast, but I want to go over the headshots with my casting director Erica before I make my decision. For me, casting is really nerve-racking. Partially cause I don't want to seem like an idiot in front of actors, who are just as nervous as I am. I have to get better at communicating with them if I ever want to be a director.
