Jai Ho!

August12

Have a callback tomorrow for a SAG feature film. Casting is being done in LA, but they’re filming here in Denver, which is nice. I think it’s a “Dude, Where’s My Car” kind of a movie. Not exactly my type, but whatever! Hopefully you’ll see me as the nurse! One line–woo-hoo! ;)

I’m also super-crazy-excited about a film shooting in India. I don’t know how many people they’re looking at for the lead, but I’m one of them.  I wish I could put sound clips on my blog–you’d be forced to hear my excitement!!!

It’s from an Indian-American production company (NN Films)…I’d be filming for about a month…they pay all expenses, plus a very small salary. A month in India? Doing what I love? Yes, please!

Plus, I can shop for saris and linens and all the gorgeous woodwork and stuff! Yay!

Oh–there’s a small chance I might be going to Sundance this year with some friends. :) Our friend’s sister (both Indian-American, coincidentally) will hopefully have her film accepted–we’re almost positive it will! And then we can support her film…schmooze on the slopes…grab some SWAG…sip cocoa…and pass out my business cards to EVERYONE!!! Please visit her site when you get a chance: Mridu Chandra

At this moment, I am happy. :) Except for this pounding headache that keeps reappearing, but I’ll just sing it away! Tra-la!!! Tra-la!

    I found out a bit more:

    They’ve signed Gulshan Grover and Neena Gupta for the film. “For a low
    budget film like ours its a big deal.We are going to sign a leading Punjabi
    sufi singer tomorrow.”

    Check out the actors on IMDb–*very* impressive list of credits!

Cannon Fodder is my blog about my Calling and the twists and turns on the road to making it into a full-fledged, full-time, bill-paying career! Occasionally, I’ll veer off-subject, but that’s what you get when you read my stream-of-conscious thoughts. ;)

A bit about me:

I know you’re dying to know my life story, so here ’tis : I grew up an Air Force Brat, living and travelling across the world. Though the scenery changed often, my dreams of being a singer and actress never did. You may have been lucky enough to catch me on my very first National Tour – - my family knew I was destined for stardom when I sang to strangers from my bathroom stall at every rest stop between California and Georgia. It was every bit as magical as you imagine. ;)

At the age of 12, I stepped out of the stall to become one of the first members of the Children’s Opera Group in its fledgling seasons with the Orlando Opera Company. I feel so privileged to have also been in productions in England, Belgium, Germany, India, and several U.S. States. These days, I work primarily in film, TV, web, and voiceovers with the help of my agents. Once I’m a Name, I’ll conquer Broadway as well as the film world!

Living a largely nomadic lifestyle throughout my career, I’ve enthusiastically met the challenges of breaking into new markets and production communities wherever I go. Just consider me Bob Dylan’s complete unknown rolling stone. (For now.) Other interests include afternoon naps, travel, dreaming, history, crazy socks, reading, sheepies, writing, swingin’ on stars, time traveling, the rain, and collecting as much useless information as I can in order to win every game of trivia. You can catch me, on rare occasions, re-creating the magic of my first tour – - cities and dates to be announced!

I promise this will be on the cover of PEOPLE when I win my first Oscar.
