This past Saturday, November 4th, I participated in a reading of a wonderful play entitled THE END OF CINDERELLA by Lynn Niederman, which is about three women working through their issues in a psychodrama-like setting. This enables them to heal and transform their self-images in a postive way. It is a poignant look at women in society and the expectations (self-imposed and societal) that they deal with on a day-to-day basis.

I got word today that SOLIDARITY won the Mayor's Award at the Heart of Gold Film Festival in Australia. I was a Casting Assistant on that project.

Out of my last five or six auditions, I was offered two roles and received call-backs for two others.

I played a newscaster in JACOB, an independent film written, directed and produced by Philip Buiser. Even though I ended up on the cutting room floor (3 out of the 5 newscasters got cut out of the film so I won't take it personally - ha!) it is a very important project. It is about missing minority children and the lack of media attention they receive. Here is a press clipping from the website:

"August 1, 2006—Jacob, a film project about missing minority children and press coverage inequity, received the June 2006 MySpace User’s Choice Award sponsored by Aquafina.

One of four projects nominated in the monthly contest, the Jacob trailer garnered the largest number of votes from a MySpace membership of more than 100 million internationally. The award honors the Jacob team as the “filmmaker(s) you most want to see more from.”'

Check out the website http://www.jacobthemovie.com. They need financial support and there is an opportunity to donate to aid the search for missing children.

I also assisted with the casting on an independent film entitled SOLIDARITY, written, directed and produced by Nancy Kiang. This was an entry in the Long Island International Film Expo and in October will be seen at the Heart of Gold International Film Festival in Australia.
