as promised...a post devoted entirely to my recent days filming the short film, LOVE NATURALLY! in this film, i play the lead role of darlene harris, "a small town Southern girl who, in order to avoid her fate as an old and very alone cat lady, begins her search for love. Her dysfunctional family and quirky best friend lend their helping hands to Darlene’s dire situation by setting her up on blind dates. Darlene goes through these men like a knife through butter, to no avail. Finally giving up on love, Darlene accepts her destiny as a librarian spinster whose only friends are covered in fur and lap milk from a bowl. BUT, then along comes a Stranger who has the power to change all that if Darlene will only be brave enough to give him a chance."
intrigued? shooting the past two weekends has been so amazing, and i can't wait to have some of the footage and of course to eventually see the final product (which will most likely be in a couple of months)! the rest of the cast and crew members are such a pleasure to work with, and make the long days on set totally worth it. it's just been great to be a "working actor," and i feel very fulfilled and affirmed doing what i love to do. plus, i love being darlene, she is a wonderfully rich character, and i'm happy to get to "be" her so much lately! she's pretty great :) although, without giving too much away, i've basically sworn off powdered donuts and iced tea, considering i've eaten and drank so much of both of those in recent days on set!
below are several awesome stills from the footage and some behind-the-scenes photos! for more, check out the LOVE NATURALLY facebook page HERE and become a fan!!!!

i'm so excited about the potential that this project has! i'm very proud of it so far, and can't wait to watch its progress (and darlene's progress from frumpy to fabulous!). again, i'd really appreciate if you check out the rest of the info on the facebook fan page. and let me know what you think!!!
You look adorable.
