Current mood:  excited
So if my barrage of emails and updates and bulletins haven't gotten to you yet, then I'm not doing my PR job right LOL!.

I've spent this summer working on three web series as I've mentioned and as you can see, they have been coming out pretty steadily. Goth Girl (watchgothgirl.com) is up to 5 episodes right now and there are three more episodes left this season. We are gearing up for season 2 right now.

The Building of Good and Evil (watchthebuilding.com) is a lot slower to bring out because it is infinitely more complicated with the effects but we have episodes 1-3 and 6 out so not bad.

For those of you who see that I have rehashed the Hitwomen Trailer into the new Hitwomen:The Ronin Chronicles as episode 1, here is the reason. Hitwomen, as I have mentioned before, is a feature film I wrote this year and I'm currently polishing that off with some pretty amazing professional help. The scene from the trailer is not an actual scene from the film. So it occurred to me that it would be fun to have a web series of 5 mini-webisodes in that humor as a sort of prequel of what Ronin's life is like before her feature film based Black Ops team is established.

I posted the thing on atom.com and am really desperate to get as many hits on it as possible because I'd like for them to enter that episode into their "Showdown" - a weekly contest and they want me to get hits on it first so PLEASE help me out and re-post the link and pass the video on to your friends - I'd really appreciate it.

This summer I decided to go nuts. Somehow, I wound up filming a total of THREE different web series. Of course I'm now in the hell that comprises post production so it's going to take a while to get them all out there but here is the list of stuff to look for.

1. Hitwomen: You have already seen the "Trailer" we filmed - it's on my myspace page and youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=e_1iECTEJb4 but we are retooling the music (so there are no licensing issues) and putting it up on atom.com as a web miniseries called "Hitwomen: The Ronin Chronicles". There are four more minute long similar episodes to come. They will all be in the same humor. We are also shooting a 10 minute version of Hitwomen this fall for the "Fight Girls" DVD compilation. Funny that my feature film script spawned all these little side film shorts.

2. The Building of Good and Evil: A supernatural web series I started a year ago as a stand alone film short has gone on to film an entire 10 episode first season. We have also filmed Episode 1 of Season 2. Depending on the reception to this project we will see if we want to film the rest of season 2 but you can check out everything going on with this series at watchthebuilding.com. While there is only episode 1 up on the site currently, if you look at youtube.com/stormgodstudios you can find episode 6. We released episode 6 first because I wanted to submit it to a web film festival (deadlines) and... come on... that episode was hilarious. I love writing and producing comedy. Action comedy is what I live for.

3. I just finished working on another eight episodes for season 1 of "Goth Girl", watchgothgirl.com, a new web series I'm also co-producing. My current default pic here is a shot of my character, Selena Ravenvox. It will be hilarious. We will try to get the episodes out before Halloween.

I'm currently in development for a web series based on Terminator and another one about zombies... Moohooohoohahahahaha!

So now that the dirty deed is done with the BloodRayne Fan Film... and now that you've laughed your head off at me for being such a massive geek, what's next? Well, I've decided to develop and do a bunch of other film shorts just to hone in on my writing (I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WRITING - I'm not a writer, or an artist, or a musician, or a dancer, or a martial artist, yet I can do all those things quite well)... anymahoo...

Hey! Did I tell anybody that I work quite a bit as a HAND MODEL? All this time I spend trying to stay in shape and crap and MY HANDS are the thing that is in demand the most? *sigh* It's even worse than you think. I'm a children's hand model. That 12 inch Hanna Montana Barbie commercial? ME. Narnia action figures? ME. Hallmark movie promo? ME. And so on... Well, the compilation prize for that is that I get endless amusement from saying that I'm off to do a "hand job".

I've got two film shorts I'll be producing this summer in quick succession: One is called "The Toilet" a very classy tale about the day in the life and another called "In the Apartment Building of Good & Evil" a pun on the movie title "In the Garden of Good and Evil". No gay Kevin Spacey or Jude Law I promise. Both will be very easy to do and it's more for my own personal training behind the camera and learning to edit and do FX. I actually learned how to rotoscope on BR. 8 HOURS OF WORK FOR 3 SECONDS OF FOOTAGE!!!! The amount of effort we put into that thing is astounding.

Now that that is done... I'm bored... I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, party... being straight edge is "boring" so I need to put my energy into something, anything. So hopefully within the scope of this summer of '08, you'll be seeing a couple of other short films. What I'm trying to gear up for is my own feature length film. Wish me luck kids.

A few months ago, this "girl", whose profile picture was that of her head Photoshoped to the Exorcist's body with a big red heart around it, sent me a "hate e-mail" stating the following: "I hate you, you anorexic whore!". Oh... my... god! I was so FLATTERED! She thought I was skinny? I'm all giggles! So what did I write her back? Hmmm... "Thank you so very much for the compliment! All those years of not eating and puking really paid off!"

I LOVE food! I'd love it in the way they did in American Pie if I could. My boyfriend will tell you for he has witnessed me eat an ENTIRE Dominos Pizza pie all by myself in one sitting. I'm not saying I do that every day but I pig out all the time. I also work out all the time. I sort of live in frumpy sweats.

Now, all you REAL anorexics don't get me wrong, starvation is still the fastest way to lose weight... but I'm not that desperate yet... put me up for an Oscar role and maybe then I'll be like - OMG! I'm fat!

I've BEEN fat! I've done the whole "pretty in her own way", "she has a nice personality", "Oh, she's got a good sense of humor" thing. How do you think I HAVE a personality? I had to develop one since I was probably the ugliest kid growing up. Then one day...

I woke up one morning and said to myself - "Self! Life would be a whole lot easier if I was a hot chick. I'd fit into my costumes better - remember spandex is a privilege NOT a right (so are low rise... ladies)." I was right, life IS better as a hot chick. The trick is not forgetting the whole "personality" thing :)

Kids... it's ALL about the Photoshop OK?

Current mood:  dorky

I have to start out by saying I LOVE driving. I've owned 7 cars in the last two years. It's a passion and I actively work on improving my driving skills every day (LA drivers take note).

I am a real dirty - filthy even - hard core New Yorker (was raised in Manhattan... saw 9/11 happen with my own eyes, survived the Great Blackout - blah blah blah) and as we all know, nobody in New York can drive - needless to say, nobody in LA can drive either but we'll forget about that for the moment.

When I got out here to sunny LA, I didn't even have a license. I just figured I'd get around by public transportation. Uh, yeah, that lasted about a minute. You should have seen the salesman laughing at me as I doubled over in psychological pain when I was buying my first car. It was going to be the first time I ever drove (since my road test - which I took in my dear, and brave, friend's Xterra - and it was practically my first time behind a wheel - boy, they'll give just about ANYBODY a license out here).

After my ex totalled that car (with me in the passenger's side - I hit the airbag dead on - but yet walked away without a scratch - being a stunt chick ROCKS!) in a head on collision that split my front license plate directly in half, I went through a quick succession of five other cars (none crashed I just bought a car every time I got bored - hey! some girls like to shop for shoes, me - not so much) before getting the nerve to really drive again. This time I wanted to really learn to drive - and of course that means driving stick.

This also meant that somebody was gonna have to teach me (which they happily did at the dealership). This also meant that I was gonna have to get a stick (pervs! I mean clutch). So needless to say, I did the only logical thing... I bought a brand new manual car and learned to drive in LA traffic - smart, real smart. God I really am putting that Master's Degree to work aren't I? Just don't catch me on the road, kids.

Well, I'm just a lazy SOB so I finally broke down and got into this myspace thing. I usually rant on my official web site http://www.warriormistress.com so you can see more pictures than I really want to be responsible for. So anyway, if you don't know me yet, I'm a media whore so I guess I'm in the right place now.
