Resume and Updates

Until I can actually get someone to make me a real live website, I'm kinda running by the seat of my pants here. So I'm gonna post my resume each time something gets added to it (which will be like every other day, right? Riiight? *nervous laughter*)



So here we go, hopefully this won't destroy my formatting!

Also, I've been having a lot of seminars that have been going really well. I know it sounds obvious, but being in those shows must have re-energized me and gave me more confidence and momentum going into these meetings with agents and casting directors. Or maybe I've just been lucky at getting really great people to see my work. Luck seems to be a thing that happens a lot in this crazy town.

Thu is on her way here for a week!!! A touch of home from an Asian sensation. We're gonna have SO MUCH FUN.

And finally, as promised, the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Heapboxvccs. If you watch in HD you can see me in the melee a couple times. I'm the only female nerd so it's easy to spot me. All that remains of my steamy lovefest is a shot of my butt being grasped in the background. Works for me!--actually it's probably best that some of that footage will never see the light of day :)

I'm in another thing!

So remember those two awesome auditions I had last week? Well one got me a callback which has yet to take place, and the other one I actually got the part! It's a great role and I am very honored to be working with the playwright in creating the character. The play is called "The Back Line", and it's performing as part of At Hand Theatre's annual fundraiser, so the ticket money goes to things like making good theatre. Something we can all get behind.

I play a teenage girl recently dead who has chosen to relive one special day in her short life--her first day on the cashier job at Jax Roast Beef. Why does she choose this day? Because of the cute but absentminded fry cook. She goes back to this day to tell him something important--but in the off chance you decide to come see, that's all I'm gonna say. There's also a very rapey manager which is always fun (actually he's awesome) so I really can't recommend this play more. It's funny, heartbreaking, sweet, and yes, molesty. What more do you want out of a 15 minute play?

So if you want to come you can get tickets off smarttix or go to athandtheatre.com and look over there. It's this Friday thru Sunday at 8, and tickets are 20 dolla.

Also, May 18th is the OFFICIAL music video premiere. You can listen to the song and learn more at www.myspace.com/justkait.

That's all for now! Support me and these two faaaabulous shows please (remember TAB goes up May 13th). Buh bye.

Revamped Commercial and My Beloved Padres

So I'm leaving an audition yesterday morning and my mother calls to say there's a rumor that the baseball-themed BoA commercial I was in last year is airing once again, but this time the commercial ends with a close-up of my face. While I am stoked to hear this, I don't want to get too excited till I actually see it.

So I go home, and within 5 minutes of me turning the Yankee game on FOX (in that horrific 14 run inning), there indeed is my face all takin up the screen and I AM MAKING A DUMB DUMB FACE. Oh well, I am still very happy and even happier about the checks to follow (it would be nice to pay rent on time for once!) In other sports news, my Padres are kicking major culo right now, in spite of every broadcaster saying that we would be one of the worst teams this year. This is shaping up to be an awesome season and I hope to make it home to San Diego sometime this summer so I can catch a game at beautiful Petco. I am by no means a fair weather fan, my mood is closely related to the day's final score, so if you ever meet me and find me to be not much fun at all, I recommend checking ESPN :)

So that's awesome. And today I auditioned for 2 plays that I equally want to be in, as they both seem to be run by nice, competent people and both plays are extremely well-written...something I have found to not be the norm around these parts. Although it appears I have a streak going of not getting into plays I want to get into :(

But things are still going well! Look for my face during baseball TV breaks and on MTV in that music video, which they tell me will start airing in the next few weeks. Hooraw for these things!

Teaser Trailer for Maconheiro (Awesome Movie I was in)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVTgEkpnPX4

This movie shoot was so much fun mainly because I got my first on-screen death (spoiler!!...?) and got to act with a wonderful gal named Monica and a delicious Brazilian man as well.

This was shot back in November and is the legend of the Maconheiro (tongue firmly and awesomely in cheek). My favorite line is ..."and then smokes the weed out of it!" My indignation is stellar. Oddly enough, I'm not in a lot of things where I speak and you can also see me so this is hopefully the start of a talkie and see-ie career in the pictures. I'm weird.

Also that is my whisper at the end. I think the intent was to be creepy but it just makes me annoyed at myself more than anything.

If you haven't noticed, I can't wait to see this entire movie...and I'm sure you can't either.

In other news you probably didn't know you needed to know, the music video is slated to premiere at the end of this month--look for pantslessness to ensue on your local music television network. If you are too lazy to troll MTV (unlike me), check in with this blawgg and twill be posted here the instant it goes live. I'm weird and have no life.

In casting news, I'm gonna be in a play about a true story of an MIT student who committed suicide by setting-oneself-on-fire-ness. Basically, a heartwarming situational comedy. It's called "T.A.B." and is actually wonderfully written, and as one of only 2 white people in the show, I have to represent!!! TAB stands for Trendy Asian Bitch, and as one who has had more lovely Asian friends than I would dare to count (looking in your direction Thu and Leane), I'm excited to explore the bitchy side of Asians. I lied, I have known one true TAB in my whole life--but she no longer haunts my dreams as our boyfriends stopped being roommates. (Burn!) And even though rehearsals haven't even started yet, my inner pimp needs some stretching. So yes, "T.A.B." is part of the Downtown Urban Theatre Festival (http://www.downtownurban.net/) and is performing ONE NIGHT ONLY on May 13th at 8:30pm.

Whew! Long post. Sorry.

So much fun yesterday!!!

Yesterday I filmed a music video for an MTV artist (who was so darn adorable) called "You Suck". I had a blast--everyone was awesome and the song was good enough that I didn't get tired of hearing it constantly for hours and hours. I got to do a lot of fun stuff and I was dressed in a ridiculous geek getup that involved a belt and a vest. And I got partnered at the end (in a rather steamy sequence) with a very nice (but 18 years old!) boy. Honestly, that part was the most fun because everyone went from being so nervous to just letting loose and going with it--I think my pants came off at one point--awkward. But yeah, fun experience and can't wait to see it premiere on MTV! And best of luck to Kait, she really was a sweetheart.

In other news, I've been cast in a film called "Last Chance", in a small role but I love my scene and am looking forward to our reading next week.

So basically my life is boring and nothing ever happens to me :)

MTV and Things

So I'm gonna be in a music video that is guaranteed to be all over MTV since the artist is signed with MTV records. Only problem is, it's unpaid and they want us to be "controversial", meaning "naked". Not sure how I feel about this, since exposure (pun intended) is really the payment here. I guess I'll go and see how comfortable I feel and the atmosphere and take it from there. Airtime means nothing if you feel humiliated looking at it.

In other news, my dog won't stop peeing everywhere. It's like he's a teenager and testing me with how much he can do before I snap. But I'll never snap because he's a pup. Argh.

I got to be an extra for "Z Rock" on IFC last Friday. What a fun experience. I love the idea of being on a set, and everyone I worked with was awesome and nice and easygoing. Something tells me not all shoots are this pleasant, but I'd like to have more experience to compare, if ya know what I mean. So if you happen to catch the show and see a very believable person walking down a street and ordering food at a restaurant...it's 4 years of conservatory training at work. Yeeeeaah.
