You can accomplish ANYTHING!

Reese said,
"With the right kind of coaching and determination, you can accomplish anything!"

Well, there you have it. That's what I am going to do!! The moment that I decided that I was going to be an actress, there was no turning back for me. No stopping, no quitting, no "It's too difficut", no giving up!!

2010 is quickly approaching... and I feel like it will be my very best year yet! And according to Reese Witherspoon herself... with the right coaching and determination, you can accomplish anything. So certainly, my dream of being in a movie with Reese is very reachable!!
Until tomorrow,
Savannah Ostler

Why acting? -The Savannah Ostler & Reese Witherspoon way!!!

Some people say, "Why acting?" Here is my response...

Life is a picture in motion. So naturally, motion pictures are one of the most authentic portrayals of life. I want to be right in the heart of motion pictures. I want to be in the dead center of Tinseltown.

I remember what movie made me really want to be an actress.... the movie that triggered the dream within me!! I was so moved by the actresses' performance, and she made it seem like so much fun. She brought so much personality, humor, intelligence,and truth to the role. Guess what movie this was???

LEGALLY BLONDE, OF COURSE!

And that's why acting is it for me. And that is why my ultimate dream is to be in a movie with Reese Witherspoon!!

As Elle Woods said, "You can do it your way... but I'm going to do it the Elle Woods way."

Well it is up to me to do it the Savannah Ostler way!!!

My birthday Wish

This is my birthday wish.... (No, it will not be bad luck to tell, it will only help if I share it with the world, right??)
So here it is...!
My Birthday Wish
This year all I want is to work! Work, work, work!
Because everyday on set is a dream come true.
There is nothing else I would rather do...
than to inspire the hearts of many; young and old-
Because these stories need to be told!!!

Since this dream is within me-
It is my destiny
Since it is mine;
no one can take it
Now here I go; blow out the candles....
Hope for me to make it!!! :)

I will be in a movie with Reese....
I will not stop...
Because only when I fulfill this dream will I be at peace!!!

The Pursuit of the dream...

Hey all you bloggers out there,

Quick update, since it has been a while! I feel inspired tonight. And we all know that inspiration comes from within! Since it comes from within... no one can take it away. Just like our dreams.
Somebody asked me the other day what I do for a living. The scene went something like this...

EXT. CAFE- DAY
SAVANNAH sits at a table alone, drinking Diet Coke and reading the book "Acting From A Spiritual Perspective." MR. DOUBTFUL enters, and spots Savannah. He immediately approaches her.

MR. DOUBTFUL
Savannah! It has been forever!

Savannah looks up from her reading material, and recognizes him.

SAVANNAH

Wow, yes, since High school! How have you been?

MR. DOUBTFUL

Wonderful! I am going to school, and working part-time. What have you been up to? Are you going to school?

SAVANNAH

No, I am not.

MR. DOUBTFUL

Oh? What are you doing then? You work?

SAVANNAH

I am an actress and screenwriter.

MR. DOUBTFUL

Wow! Still acting? You must be making a lot of money now huh?

SAVANNAH

Well... no. Not yet! I am in the pursuit. I am just following

my dream.

Mr. Doubtful's voice of enthusiasm immediately dropped. He speaks very clearly and serious now.

MR. DOUBTFUL

Ah, okay I see. Well, what is your back up plan? Because

what if... you?

SAVANNAH

(sincere)

I don't need a back up plan. I am going to be an actress.

MR. DOUBTFUL

(skeptical)

Everybody needs a back up plan Savannah... I mean, how many

actors actually... make it in this world?

SAVANNAH

Well I don't! This is what I love to do. And there

is no reason why a girl can't do what she loves to do.

MR. DOUBTFUL

I see. Well, best of luck, Savannah-

Savannah checks the time on her phone, and gathers her purse, book, and soda.

SAVANNAH

I actually need to get going, I have an audition! Nice seeing

you... take care!

FADE OUT.

Yep, I experience encounters like this all the time. But, luckily I have gotten a lot tougher over the years. And trust me, when your life is spent with people saying "No, thank-you" all the time, it definitely takes effort to stay positive. But, staying positive is one of the most important aspects in one's likelihood to succeed in this business! So, I must keep my head held up high, and know that someday, one glorious, happy, wonderful day my dreams will come true, and I will live the reality of my dreams. And it will only be a result of my dedication, positivity, and raw determination that will make my dream come true!!

Will Smith said,

"I see people all the time who are better rappers than me, better actors than me, better-looking and stronger than me. But my ace in the hole is my dangerously obsessive drive, you know? I'm a terminator. I absolutely, positively will not stop until I win."

NEVER STOP, NEVER QUIT, and NEVER, EVER, GIVE UP!!!

It is in the pursuit... the pursuit of the dream!! HOLD ON!!

Making your own sunshine!!

It has been a while since I have blogged and updated!!!

But, I have a valid excuse!! I have been filming a television show... it is so exciting and awesome!! I can't say anything about it yet, other than it was such a sweet experience, and it will air on TLC in a few months!! Can you say.... YA-HOO!!!!!

Naturally, now that the show is over, I am on the prowl for a chance to work on another set!! What will be next? It is a mystery to me, but stay tuned!! A day could change everything. A day can change your life!!

Carol Burnett said, "When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go." I really love this quote, and agree with it 100%!! If you are given a dream, stick with it, and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise! No one can take it away from you!! It is not about who is going to let you, it is who is going to stop you!

I will end this entry with these few words....

Plan. Dream. Persevere. Achieve. Never give up. Never give in. Inspire. Master. Overcome. Prevail.

See your success

And you will excel.

P.S. You have to believe that you can create your own sunshine...

Filming tomorrow...

Hey all you bloggers out there,

So, updates! It looks like I got 1 out of the 3 parts. But that is still awesome! I got cast in Ritual Pictures' "The Light of Daigh". I play Daigh!! :D

We actually begin filming the teaser trailer this weekend! For more information, check out the website!! http://www.ritualpictures.com/tldcast1.htm

It looks like a very cool project and I am very excited to dive into it! The part of Daigh is a role unlike any other that I have ever had before, so it should be an interesting experience!

I will keep you posted on how everything goes, and if anything else comes in! In the meantime, here is an awesome quote!!

"Believe in yourself and all that you are. know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."

~Christian D. Larson

Until next time... this is the young girl who is determined to take over the world of film by storm....

Savannah :)

REACH FOR THE STARS!!!

REACH FOR THE STARS!!!

Hey all you bloggers out there,
Here's a quick update for you... so remember when I went on those 3 auditions last Saturday? Well...
I heard back from one and I booked the lead role!! YAY!! It is extremely exciting. I can't say much about it yet, but I can tell you that we are filming the teaser trailer first, followed by the feature. It is wonderful news!! I was doing the happy dance when I found out. :)
I will make sure to keep you updated on the project! And still crossing my fingers that I hear from 1 of the other 2 auditions... I say, let's shoot for 2 out of 3! Aim for the stars!!! :)
I'll let you know!!
Well, that's it for now! Before I go, I would like to share a very inspiring and awesome quote that my favorite Uncle shared with me today. These are words to live by! So, I will leave with this last thought...
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. "
-Calvin Coolidge
Until next time,
The young actress who is determined to take the world by storm!

Almost to the finish line!!!....

Hey all you bloggers out there,
I had the most amazing day yesterday! Why was it so amazing, you ask? Well... :)
I had 3 film auditions... and 2 of them were callbacks! YAY!!! It was such a blast. I had to be 3 different people! The best part was having to change my outift and makeup for the next audition in time. It was very exciting!!! I just wonder what the people thought of me at the gas stations; I was completely different going into the bathroom than I was coming out! It was like I was a totally different person. Haha that was the fun of it! :) I'm sure they thought I was psychotic, but that's kinda funny to think actually. Let them think that! Atleast I'm not boring... :D I'm sure Reese could totally relate. She has to have some crazy and funny stories!
Wish me luck!! I will keep you updated as soon as I hear about any of them! I have a feeling... that I am closer to the finish line than I think!!
Anxiously awaiting some good news,
Savannah

"The tiny frogs!"

Hey all you bloggers out there,



Thought I would share a really cool story that I heard the other day. It is callled....

"The Tiny Frogs"

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around for the event, to cheer on the contestants....

1...2.... 3.... GO!!!..

The race began.....

Honestly:

No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

"Oh, way too difficult! They will NEVER make it to the top."

Or:

"Not a chance they will succeed. The tower is too high!

One by one, the tiny frogs began collasping....

....Except those who in a fresh attempt were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell:

"It's too difficult! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....

This one wouldn't give up!

At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower....

...Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one that reached the top!

THEN, all of the other frogs naturally wanted to know... how this one tiny frog managed to do this?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to reach the goal?

It turned out....

THE WINNER WAS DEAF!!!

The wisdom in this story is:

NEVER listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic...

...Cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you;

The ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore... Always be...

POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell you that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

Always think:

I CAN DO THIS!!

Well, what did you think? I full heartedly agree with this story. It has a very true and inspiring message!!

Why do I want to act?

Hey all you bloggers out there,
Tonight, I am going to answer the age old quesiton... Why do you want to act?
There are many reasons for my crazy endeavors... so here goes!

• I act because I am an explorer.
• I act because I love to take risks.
• I act because I am fascinated by humanity.
• I act to get away from it all.
• I act because I love effecting people.
• I act because I am a creator; I love to create.
• I act so I can re-live moments in my life; and to re-evaluate my past.
• I act to feel things that I have never felt before.
• I act because.... it makes me free.

No other profession or artistic endeavor can allow myself to be two people at once...

Movies have an overwhelming effect on their audiences. I want to be the reason for it!

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

Well, I promised I would let you all know if I got a callback... and.... are you ready?

I didn't. :( True, it is rather disappointing. BUT! This is only a set back if I let it be one. And am I going to do that? Hm, let me think... NO!!! I must stay strong and hold on! And I'm not saying that it is easy. I know from experience that there will always be disappointments. Being in this business, you have to get familiar with rejection. But I do know in my heart of hearts that no matter what the odds or the cicrumstances, perseverance always wins. ALWAYS. No expceptions!!

So.. I am holding on! I am holding on and fighting. And I will continue to fight until I WIN!!!

Just going to keep fighting and fighting... and never, never, never, NEVER give up... no matter what!

Audition... hoping for a callback!

Hey all you bloggers out there,

I went on an audition last Friday for a local film. I really hope I get a callback, I hear they are this Friday, so I will keep you posted!! Wish me luck, and cross your fingers!! Every accomplishment is one step closer to my ULTIMATE goal....

To work as an actor in a film with my favorite actress, Reese Witherspoon!

Oh, when a young woman's fancy turns to love....

Hello out there!

I just recently filmed a movie called "I Live At The House With The Blue Door", and I had such a blast on set! I play a very flirtacious, provocative waitress. She was an absolute blast to portray, because she is so far from who I really am! Well, most of the time... hee hee ;)

That's the beauty of acting. I can experience all sorts of new things, be put in unfamiliar situations, and feel things that I normally would never have a chance to! And the adrenaline rush I get from being on set is just the icing on top of the cake! When I was filming, I kept thinking to myself, "Wow- there is nowhere I would rather be. This is where I belong!"

So, here I am... anxiously awaiting my next days on a film set! Just like love, I am aching for my next fix. I feel this very strong, burning desire to experience it all over again. This desire is almost chilling, and runs deep in my bones. Hmm... looks like the beginning of a very delectable love affiar! :)

I will share with you some pictures of me enjoying my time on set! I hope you like them :) I just can hardly believe the natural high I get from being on set. I can only imagine what it will be like when I am on set with Reese! I cannot wait!!

For more information on the movie "I Live At The House With The Blue Door", please visit the official website! Go to: http://www.bluedoorfilm.com/ .

Anxiously awaiting another film set,

The beginning of a big dream...

Hello!
My name is Savannah Ostler, and I was born with a really big dream... A dream that some would say is nearly impossible. But what really is 'impossible'? It surely is not a word in my vocabulary.
Ever since I was a wee child, I have had this burning desire to be an actress. At first I thought to myself, "Hmmm... this is probably just a phase, it will pass..." So I gave it some time. Did I really love performing and the movies so much, that I would be willing to risk all of my life's savings, my well-being, my sanity, and my relationships on the chance of fulfilling this dream? Well, I have asked this same question to myself time and time again, and the outcome is still the same.

YES!!!

What can I do now? I have no choice! I am going to do it, and I am never going to give up until I do! So, I have decided to give myself a goal. Starting today, August 16th 2009, I am going to give myself 3 years to achieve my ultimate dream. And what, you might ask, is this ultimate dream?

My ultimate dream is to have a speaking role in a film with my favorite actress, Reese Witherspoon!

I am going to give it my all, and see to it that this will happen! Each week, I will monitor my progress and make a post! As of now, I am a girl from Utah trying to make it happen. But who knows? Tomorrow, I just might be the girl you see on the big screen!

Savannah Ostler :)
