2014 Reel Round Up

2014

Wow!!! Where did 2014 Go???  Going....going....just about gone!!!  2014 was a year that I wasn't on set much, as I wanted to spend more time with my family and not miss all the exciting things left with my Daughter who is growing up way too fast!!  Even though I didn't work on set this year....there sure were quite a few exciting things happening!!  Lots of the films I was a part of were seen all over the world!!!  Innocent Blood, Better than Bullies, 8.13 and Odd Brodsky all were screening in 2014!!  If you were able to catch them I appreciate your support!! :) 

I think working on film projects are just the best....they really never go away....totally immortalize  you, which if you ask me...is pretty neat!

Since I was spending more time at home this year, I ended up picking up a new hobby!  I have been teaching myself how to play Ukulele !! I started in Oct. 2014 and up to Dec. 2014 I have taught myself 20 songs!!  I'm excited to learn more!! I have posted some of the songs I've been learning on my YouTube channel.  CLICK HERE TO VIEW!! 
More will follow!!  I have never attempted to learn a string instrument before, this was my 1st time...just goes to show...your never too old to learn new tricks!! :)

2015....I hope to get back on set slowly but surely!!  Looking forward to all the things and adventures ahead!! 

All the best to you and your family in 2015...thanks again for all your continued support!!!

2013 Reel Round Up

2013

Wow!! It's hard to believe that 2013 is coming to a close!! I really feel like this year just started, so I have no idea how we are all at the end of it suddenly!! lol 

This year my focus was more on my family.  As I wasn't on set much this year....I still had some amazing advancements in my acting/modeling career!!  Some of the films that I have been apart of have been seen all over the world this year!!  I was featured in a few magazines this year (Cambalacho New Mag. in Brazil, Rebel Ink Mag, USA, and Xalt Mag. in Canada)  I was able to attend some conventions this year as a professional, which was so super cool!

Credits 

My Daughter Kelsey Shoup and I got a chance to work a short film with 2 of our favorite ladies in horror Brenda Fies (Director), and Elisabeth Fies (Camera Woman, Producer).  The film we worked on is titled "Better than Bullies".  My Daughter plays Martha, a nerdy girl getting bullied and picked on by some fellow class mates. I did voice over work for this film, I play Martha's Mom.

This film really did touch our hearts!  Everyone has been bullied at some point in their life. I was bullied as a kid and my Daughter has had to deal with it already too!  It's something that sadly, won't be going out of style anytime soon. It's sad to know there are so many kids/adults out there that are directly effected by bulling!  Some people can get pass it on their own, while others might feel stuck in a rut...that there is no hope but to give up!  This film is a good way to make kids think about it from a different view.  Not to give up...but to find something in common with the bullies.

The best thing to do is talk to our kids, let them know we are there to help! Communication is always key to every good relationship.  Share this with your kids, or just talk to them about bullies...you never know, they might be dealing with it now or know someone who is.  It just might help them turn the situation around!!  That is my hope anyways!  If we can touch one person's heart....weather it be the victim or the bully, make them think about what is going on and how they can change it or stop it....that will make it all worth it to me!

"Odd Brodsky" Film

Working Matthew Irving and Cindy Baer

Odd Brodsky set 

On September 21, 2011 I had the opportunity to work on set of "Odd Brodsky". The Director of this film is Cindy Baer. A very hard working lady in the film industry.  She had an amazing crew helping her out too!! ;) The super nice and talented Jim Hanks was also a part of this film. You might have also seen him in such films as Purgatory House and many many more!  Very cool! ;) There are tons of talent in this film with him!! Just wait till you see!

 Let the Fun Being.....

Here is a little bit about the story:

Audrey Brodsky (aka “Odd” Brodsky) is a lovable loser who quits the security of her job to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a famous actress!

There's just one problem...

She's not very good.

But what she lacks in talent,

she makes up for in heart.

It’s a wacky, little adventure about following your dreams, learning to accept yourself, and finding the magic in life.

 

Director: Cindy Baer not only did she direct, but was also acting! Multi-talented and super sweet! 

 It was great fun. We were at the La Emmie's Music Hall in Beverly Hills, CA.  I got to work with some more amazingly talented people!!  Thanks to everyone for making the night super fun!

Can you find me in the crowd???  So much fun!! ;)

This film is due out in the Summer of 2013 .  I will keep you all updated...until then...check out a few links......

"Innocent Blood" Film

Film Poster for "Innocence Blood"

I got lucky enough to get casted in another amazing film, "Innocence Blood".  I was on set shooting Monday, June 20th in La Mirada .  I was casted as a University Student and had a great day! I got to meet some amazing talent once again! I really appreciate all the people I have met in each project because I learn from each of them and love making a new friendships.  I love adding to my film family!  I had a terrific time talking with some fellow actor/actress's...Calli, Linda, Susan, Josh, Andre... just to name a few. Calli and I spent pretty much the whole day together...I just love that girl!! She's so sweet!  I wish her all the luck in the world on her projects to come as I do all of them!

Inkerbella plays a University Student for film "Innocence Blood"

So my day started pretty early in the morning!! 5 Am to be exact!  I was on set for 11 hours and loved each second of it!  It really is so neat to see the crew do their magic! With out them, I don't know how things would work! lol. 

ATTENTION....Filming in PROGRESS...

Yep, these were EVERYWHERE!!  ;) Love it!

I got to be in a few different scenes all over the campus of  Biola University!!  I also was in the classroom scene!! 

Film Crew Pass

A few memories I have are when I met one of the main stars Actor Jun  Kim, who plays the professor.  I was in the scene where he was leaving one of the buildings and I was right behind him.  Anyways, he was commenting on my eyeshadow...said..what is that stuff called? I've never seen it that pink color before?  Oh my eye Shadow, I said....it's like a burgundy color.  He said, oh it looks pink.  I said oh...do you mean you can see my hair ??....and I point to the side of my head (I was wearing a wig).  He said ....what?  I said oh, I thought you could see my hair peeking out. He said No? Oh because my normal hair is pink and purple and black.  He said Normal???  Pink hair is not normal...?? I said...ummm in my house it is... lol. Later on the other actors said man that was funny and pretty awesome!  Too funny!! Great times.  It was funny b/c all of the other actors had NO IDEA I had a wig on. They all thought for sure that was me. I told them, nope...and showed them pictures so they would believe me. I guess that is a good thing though, that I fooled them!!! Not only is that a good wig, but hey....good acting too! lol

and Josh (another fellow University Student)

On set of "Innocence Blood"

The other memory I have is when we were on set in a different location on campus and Doug Jones, who plays a detective was standing in front of me....funny that was the trendy of the day! ;) Well Doug bent over and was wiggling his butt and I couldn't help myself and said...oh wow.NICE! He turned around and smiled real big. 
Later on we were all on lunch break.  Doug was sitting in front of me and he turned around to say Hi. I said oh well I get to see the front of you now, since I already saw your back side! lol. He said oh yea, we did share a moment already didn't we. We got to chat for a while, he was so super! He has a great personality and just is the sweetest!  He was even impressed with my wig. I gave him my business card (which has my head shot on it) and he said, well you had that wig before right?  I said Nope, got it just for this role! He said...wow!! Thank you so much, I appreciate it...then he grabbed my hand and said...your such a princess...and acted like he was going to kiss my hand, and instead kissed his own!! CRACK UP!! I will never forget his happy warm company!

and Inkerbella (University Student)

The classroom set was amazing!!! Jun delivered his lines beautifully!  It really gave me the chills each time he said his lines!! He is a wonderful talent and I'm glad to have met him!

Classroom scene with Jun Kim at the front

Getting the set ready!

Sun W. Kim, Director said we should have the film premiere in November 2011, but the film should be out sometimes in 2012!

I can't WAIT to see how the film comes together! It's a a thriller/drama type movie that will keep ya wondering what is going to happen next! I will keep everyone updated on when it's out and how to get it on DVD!
The best part is that 10% of all the proceeds from the sale of this film are dedicated to a women's charity shelter operating in Cambodia and the Philippines, built to save young girls from the world of humna trafficking!
More on when the DVD is out soon!
