Life Is Good.
After months of waiting , the premiere of American Sunset is finally within reach! This is very exciting for me, as it is my first feature film, in a leading role with Corey Haim. Filming was a crazy adventure with a ton of memorable moments and lessons learned , let me tell you…I got “educated” in ways that I couldnt have imagined! Things got pretty crazy at times. (unfortunately no stories can be shared at this point in time BUT I am armed with many haha) . Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing, or trade a single moment of it all. Afterall, I was making a movie! A MOVIE with a former Hollywood A-lister, as leading male!
Having filmed on location in New Brunswick is especially exciting as I got to share so much of my experience and emotions with those I love the most, in my home province. It isnt often, actually never until now, that a movie filmed here has had a theatrical release and I am so proud to be a part of it. You have no idea how satisfying it is to look in the mirror and say, YOU DID IT. It didnt come without sacrifice…no no no, there was plenty of that to get here! It isn’t easy having such big dreams, being from a small town. The odds are stacked against you from the beginning…or so you are made to think! Its easy to take the safe road. I walked away from a successful massage therapy practice ($$$$) to become the starving actress in a big city all alone! A lot of people didnt understand and called me crazy. I couldn’t ignore that gnawing feeling inside of me that was just never satisfied…ever, I had to make a decision. My decision was to take the chance and risk it all,( it was either that or my sanity, lol).
Its been an interesting ride to say the least. A world of adventures and random moments that you wouldn’t believe, from an “Indecent Proposal” (you know, Woody&Demi?) while stranded in Jamaica from a local millionaire, to being chased around by a famous designer/ ex boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith, while on a date with a n NBA star at a red tie affair…sorry, no names.
I’ve established that the old familiar saying is actually true afterall…its the journey, not the destination that counts the most! Or something like that. You get it. I am the luckiest girl in the world right now…and of course, the happiest. I thank the universe every day for my life. I wonder what will happen tomorrow?
Cheers!
