"Make It Reel" Competition Season 2, Round 3

We did it! Cheers to everyone who has supported me along the way! I tied for 1st place and therefore move onto the Finals July 24th! Thank you so much to the folks at the Complete Actors Place for hosting the event and a big thanks to T for Talent and Vitamin Water for sponsoring it!

A Midsummer Night's Dream Party

I had an amazing night performing at "A Midsummer Night's Dream" party and birthday bash hosted by the birthday boy Eduardo Nieto as well as Sheila Thompson at the Tim Alexander Studio. We had some other fantastic acts including Sayaka Pereira (Dancer/Martial Artist extraordinaire), Jessica Jolly (Hilarious Comedian), Nori Shirasu (Interpretive Dancer/Mime Artist) and Venus Leone (Sexy Songstress - see photo).

Mothership Creative Part II

Had the good fortune of working with this fabulous production team again. This time, the drive wasn't as far since we shot this corporate industrial at the Merlan Creative Studios in North Hollywood. It was a great day and everyone had fun playing multiple characters in front of a green screen. The "Hunters & Gatherers" video for Farmers Insurance felt more like a mockumentary single-camera comedy, whereas this training video for Insight Imaging (specializing in diagnostic images in the health care field) felt more like a multi-camera sitcom. My close-up. Your close-up. Wide angle. Done.

Celebrity Centre 4th of July Weekend Bash

I performed along with several other up and coming artists, such as BitterSweet, Rosey Donovan and Jacey Tess Hardesty at the Celebrity Centre this 4th of July Weekend Bash hosted by RK Records.

I'm not gonna lie folks - it was a little nuts.

First of all, the show started an hour and a half late. Second, it went from being an industry showcase to a fashion show to a birthday party to a Mexican-American Recognition awards ceremony somethin-or-other... Oh and to top it all off, they made us watch a Scientology video. For those of you who don't know the Celebrity Center is located at the "Church" of Scientology in Hollywood.

After it was all said and done, I was invited by Modelt "Tay" Zline (that's right folks, she's naming names), a representative from RK Records to perform at the Rick James & Teena Marie Tribute/Industry Showcase July 31st at the Catalina Jazz Club. I was delighted but quickly dismayed at a message I received shortly after by the "director" of these "showcases", a Miss Sharon Dahlonega. Miss Sharon, whom I had not even exchanged more than five words with, took it upon herself (due to an over-inflated sense of entitlement and incumbency) to tell Tay that I was difficult and/or had an attitude. Miss Thang hasn't SEEN my attitude. She should hope that day never comes. Her self-righteousness seems utterly ridiculous after the 4th of July schizophrenic debacle bash.

Long story short, I won't be performing at the Catalina Jazz Club July 31st. The moral of the story folks: If the Church of Scientology has anything to do with it, STAY AWAY. If Sharon Dahlonega has anything to do with it, RUN and DON'T LOOK BACK.
