Description

Traveled half way across the country from Wisconsin to California so I could follow my dreams of becoming an actress. I'm documenting my adventures along with the struggles of the true Hollywood story of a no name girl trying to break into the filmmaking industry. I'm not going to sugar coat anything or lie about my experiences to make the journey sound better then what honestly is going on. I will be revealing the true reality, the success if any, and the heartache of what happens when trying to reach this one in a million dream. So come on this roller coaster with me and my dog Gizmo to see for yourself what it takes to make it, what it doesn't, or maybe you'll realize this dream could in fact be for you.

First Attempt at a Vlog!


Okay, contemplating in my thoughts, I’ve decided I am no longer going to sit around waiting by the phone to hope in a million years it will ring and tell me I just booked a TV show or a hit movie…it’s just not going to happen, so I need to pull my self out of denial and make my own show! Yes, that is right I said show! On my Blog, I have been documenting the adventures and struggles out here in LA, as of last week’s post I talked about filming the adventures to show you all (past blog), and then filming got me thinking…why not just make my own reality show!
I have experience in reality:
-Had a MTV show for two seasons
-Worked on MTV ‘The Hills’
-Did casting for reality shows:
·       Tough Love Couples (VH1)
·       Dating in the Dark (ABC)
·       Minute to Win it (NBC)
·       The Singing Bee (CMT)
·       Baggage (GSN)
The only down fault to this new idea, is I won’t have a crew it will just be the camera and me. So the production value won’t be too high to start off with, but I got to start with something. I will be using a very nice high definition camera, the Canon t3i/600D.



I am thinking the show will be more docureality, a documentary and reality based show. I will be putting up the episodes on my YouTube page and if I get some viewers that are interested in the show I will then make a website! I am not a hundred percent sure of the outline of the show yet besides the base of having Gizmo, the entertainment lifestyle, and me so this first episode is a test run. Let me know what you thought was intriguing, what I should tape more of, and if I shouldn’t talk so much into the camera. Maybe show more of LA? Maybe some of the hot spots, or cool tour places? Any advice would be highly appreciated! If there is anything you would like to know about California or have any questions please comment or send me a message and I can discuss a Q & A on the episodes!

I also will be working on my Blogs Navigation buttons on the top of the page. I worked on the video page if you want to check out what has been done to it please click here

Anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it!
Cause who knows: WHAT COMES NEXT...

    Super cute. You should really cross distribute on Vimeo as well. Especially this new stuff. It's a community like YT but more indy and good stuff like this spreads like wildfire and in a community of semi pros, you'll rise to their level ev...en more! And you're really handling that camera well, a little more tweaks here and there with beats and focus and it'll be perfect for MTV. ;) I really like that it's sorta like the Hills but not really, but if it can be more like those MTV shows, I think the audience would love it more because they're comortable with that format. I know I love that! Focus tip is zoom all the way in and then focus and then focus out, but I'm sure you're already doing that. ;p And I just just love seeing you on camera. The charisma is there and I found myself laughing more than once. I really like it! Really. And do take my advice on posting it to Vimeo. Good stuff on there spreads like wildfire like a great new hipster restaurant would by word of mouth. But just the new stuff. Because you don't want people to be confused or whatever. You want them to see your best stuff. I really love it and can't wait for more.
