We had a rocky day before the shoot, and a rocky morning the first day of shooting, but all and all, I am sooo happy with everything. I loved my crew and my band and of course the amazing dancers... everyone put in sooo much hard work and I know it all will be shown in the final product.

This is the latest of my music video montages. Its short and sweet, but very tightly edited. I've been tweaking this one for a while and I think its finally where I want it it to be. I keep on saying im going to add to it (hence the COMING SOON! at the end of it) but I think I am done with it. I love the music editing in this one and editing dance sequences are my favorite! Mmmm yummy.

Invisible Child is an exciting, imaginative and very contemporary Dance/Play written and performed by Lisa Barri, a longstanding actress in the New York theater community. The play tells the story of Ginger, a woman who wants so desperately to please her mother and the outside world that she loses herself in the process. Her story is told through a series of monologues in which a variety of characters emerge. Each character has a different effect on Ginger's life so that through the course of the play it becomes clear why she is so lost. Ginger lacks the emotional support from anyone who can see her for the person that she is. Because of sly manipulations, verbal bashing, physical attacks and lack of acceptance, Ginger lives her life to please everyone but herself. To please others she becomes a prosecutor, leaving behind the only connection to Self that she knows - her love for painting. She has deluded herself into thinking that through the legal system she will be able to help people, but because she does her job so well she causes a woman to be sentenced to death row. She had never intended for anything like that to happen and in a moment of epiphany she realizes that she can no longer live the life she's living. She discovers that she cannot get the love or acceptance she desires from pleasing another person and becomes determined to follow her own dreams.

This project was my mid-term at the LA Film School, and it was a scene from the play "This Is Our Youth". The scene was originally meant for two guys, but I switched it up to two girls. This is a very powerful scene and I had so much fun working with my amazing actors, Kasey Buckley, and Tamika Pough. I really enjoyed working with them and I felt that I learned a lot through the process of rehearsing with them. The feel of the scen is very "Thirteen" like and its very in your face. Cory DeLair was my Cinematograher, and Joey Salehi* was my amazing Production Designer. We shot this in a day and I am pretty impressed what my crew pulled off. I think this is definatley my best work thus far. Obviously, looking at it now, there are some changes I would like to make, but hey, it's a work in progress.
