DO IT!

Well, here I am! Back in LA. Things have been moving at super sonic speed ever since I've been back! This is the first chance I've had to sit back and actually do some laundry and blog!  So glamorous. ;)
Life is really short, so why not live the life you imagined? Go for the American Dream. Who cares if people don't approve. You owe it to yourself!

That's what I feel, anyway. I owe this to myself. If you're like me, there's not a single day that goes by that I don't think about my dreams.

Anything is possible. Just believe in yourself and have faith! Watch this video and you'll see what I mean! This is such a wonderful  and truly inspiring story of determination!! What an incredible dog. Makes me cry every time. JUST HAVE FAITH!
 

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!

   
Dear Bloggers:

  You don't know until you try. So follow your dreams. Give it all you've got... NEVER back down  without a fight... This is YOUR shot!!

One thing's for sure. I am never, never, never going to give up! Because I will be in a movie with Reese Witherspoon one day. I will!!
 I can't tell you what that movie will be just yet, all I know is that I will get a chance to work with her. I will!!

This is my ultimate dream... and it's up to me to make it come true. If you truly want something in this world, it's up to YOU!!

So... what are you waiting for? GO FOR IT! You have a passion? LIVE it, because life is too short. But most of all... never quit! No matter what!!!

P.S. Who said dreamers can't be doers, too? BE BOTH! :)

Life is a Picture In Motion!

I LOVE what I do. LOVE IT!! I love everything about movies. I mean, what's not to like? Life is a picture in motion. Life= motion pictures.  And that's exactly what my life is, motion pictures!  What do I do? I WORK IN THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY!!! Scream it out loud, it feel goooood!! :D

Okay...and televsion :) Can't forget TV! Television is great too. It's just easier to say motion pictures. But I am extremely passionate about television as well. And have tons of respect for both it, and the people involved in television!!

Following your dreams is so worth it. SO worth it!! And although it gets really tough at times, to the point of being painful... NEVER GIVE UP!!!  The best is yet to come. And even though it will not come easy, don't throw in the towel just yet.... you may just get your big break tomorrow!! But really, do good things come easily at all?? No! You have to work hard for it, and be passionate! Be passionate about everything you do and give everything your all. Not 50%, 75%, or even 100%.... 150%! Stand out from the crowd. Be Brave.  DARE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!

It's as simple as that. The man that I truly look up to, Walt Disney, said, "All our Dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them." And look at all that he did. He pursued his dreams!! That's not to say that he didn't hit roadblocks along the way. Did you know that he was fired from a newspaper printing company? They claimed that "he had no original ideas" and was "lacking imagination". HMMMM......

Just goes to show you, don't listen to a word those nay-sayers say!! Because you will prove them wrong. Every single time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!!

*****HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!****

I hope all of my readers have a wonderful 2011. This is assuming, that I have readers of course! ;)

Are you as excited for 2011 as I am??! I cannot WAIT for all of these exciting projects that I am working on!!

But I gotta go, I just got a call from my friend and he is on is way OVER!! FUN!!! haha to be continued....

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!!! 

Winter wonderland!

Hey blogging peeps! :)

Well I've been in Utah for the holidays and what not, and woke up to a winter wonderland this morning. Everything is covered in SNOW!! It looks something like this snowy picture. Well, minus the castle. But a girl can dream, can't she? :)
I really don't like it. It's freezing, and hard to drive in. I can't wait til I go back to California next month!! Where it's sunny and I can go to the beach!!

Okay, yes. It is beautiful. But only for a few moments. Until you have to drive in it, and walk in it... and it totally freezes your toes off!! Yeah... snow an I... we don't have the best relationship ;)

And besides that, I am so cold blooded! I get f-r-e-e-e-zing!! That's another reason why I belong in sunny California. Ugh can't wait to get back! Of crouse, then I have traffic and really horrible parking to deal with. But hey... guess nowhere is perfect! ;)

On the plus side, this wintery storm is kind of motivating for me. It makes me just want to curl up and work on my new screenplays! Perfect weather for writing! :)

Well, gotta go, got lots of writing to do! :) Here's a quote for today...

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

NEW Blog Entry... What?!!

Hello fellow bloggers!!

I don't blame you if you don't remember me, it has only been a few months, right?! :P Okay, who am I kidding... it's pretty much been half a year. YIKES!! Half a year since my last blog entry?!!

I'm sure you're thinking, "Okay, What in the world has Savvy been up to? Is she just too busy to just take 10 minutes and update her firkin' blog???"

Well.... my answer is... Yes and no! I have been extremely busy, which is a very, very good thing!! But the truth is, I could have written in my blog. But when I get home at night, sometimes I am just too tired to write, ya know? I know it's not a very good excuse. But hey, atleast I tried. ;)
Now, WHAT have I been up to the rest of 2010??? Well, allow me to fill you in... RIGHT NOW!
Here is the Reader's Digest version of what has been going on in the life of this crazy, determined dreamer! Ready? Here goes...

• Twice The Dream! (Every month)
• Acting Boot camp in Los Angeles (July)
• Got representation with Diverse Talent Group in LA (September)
• Went to Disneyland!! (September, and yes I had to include this ;)
• Filmed a very fun horror movie, "BloodFare", I played Summer!! (October)
• More Twice The Dream! (October- November)
• Filmed a fun short called "The Hook Up" (November)
• Disneyland again!! :D (December)
• Wrote, produced, and acted in a short Christmas PSA (December)

Well, there you have it. The Reader's digest version!! So essentially, I now have more training and confidence in my acting abilities, along with having a wonderful agent in Hollywood - http://www.diversetalentgroup.com/

Had a BLAST on the set of "Blood Fare", directed by J.A. Steel. You can check the site out here!! -> http://www.warriorentertainment.com/ PLUS, you can watch the trailer there!! It was SO much fun working on the film.
And last but definitely not least, my latest project, a feature titled Twice The Dream. I know I mentioned a little about the project on here before, but now let me recap and fill you in on some exciting stuff!! So, the movie is a family "dramady". I wrote it and of course, naturally had to write myself in as one of the lead characters! :) It was co-written by my agent here in Salt Lake City, Shawn Mehling. He really shaped it up!

Really exciting things have been happening with the project, more than I ever could have hoped for!! The script got into Haylie Duff's hands, and she just happened to LOVE the script!! So she has attached herself to the project. She will be playing the role of "Amber". You wanna know what the most AWESOME part of this is though??! I had Haylie in my mind for the part of Amber ever since I started writing the script, when I was 15!! And Amber just happens to be Samantha's sister. And guess who just so happens to play Samantha in the movie?? :) I am SO excited, it is incredible and such an honor to have Haylie aboard!! I can hardly believe that she will play my sister. In this story that I have had in my heart ever since I was 15!! It's really strange how things come along. And anybody who really knows me, you know how I have always been a HUGE Hilary and Haylie Duff fan. Ever since the Lizzie McGuire days!! Life is weird!

And along with Haylie and I,we have also cast Adrian R'Mante(Suite Life Of Zack and Cody)and a wonderful actress named Raney Branch as supporting roles. But something I am really happy and excited about is our director, Maurice Moore. He took interest in the project and we signed him as the director. He is awesome!! You can check out his site here!! (He also mentions Twice The Dream in the "News" section :) http://www.anaikfilms.com/news.html

And finally, check out our Facebook page!! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Twice-The-Dream/129907497023350
We are almost fully funded, just a little bit more to go!! So if anyone you know out there might be interested in helping us make this movie, PLEASE contact me ASAP! :) We are going to make this dream a reality very soon!
Well, this has officially been the longest blog known to blondes!! So I will stop talking, even though talking is one of my favorite past times!! ;)
Ta ta for now!! And I promise I will update again soon!!
Oh, and P.S.!!!
I STILL have to get into a movie with Reese Witherspoon! It will happen!! :)
Savvy

Been a Loooong time coming!!

Hello bloggers,

First off, I can't believe I haven't updated my blog for so long-- ah I am slacking! But! I have had a good excuse! Well... so I hope. ;)

Second off, updates! Last time I wrote in my blog, I was in Hollywood. I was only there temporarily, to work and had some meetings/workshops. Now I am back home, but I joined SAG, YES!! (for those of you who don't know what SAG is, it is the professional actors union, Screen Actors Guild ) In fact, it is the largest and most respected actors union... most likely, everyone you see in the movies or on television is a member of SAG. Do you know what this means??? I am in the same union as Reese Witherspoon now!!! I am in GREAT company!

Okay maybe it's not that big of a deal... but I feel like it is a MAJOR stepping stone in my career, and about 10 steps closer to working with Reese!!!! :)

Another piece of news... Did I ever mention that I wrote a screenplay? Well, I did-and my agent helped rewrite and polish it. The script is called "Twice The Dream". And believe it or not... this story has been in my heart ever since the 9th grade. I first started writing it as a novel. I remember writing away, pouring my heart out on paper in math class still... this story has come a long way.

Not only did my agent and I finish the script, and go through about 100 rewrites, we are getting it produced!!! I can't be any more happy!! Especially, since I wrote myself as one of the lead characters... (well, naturally! I had to! :) I am so jazzed!! We are 70% there!!!! Things are going great!!

We have a fan page on Facebook, and the website for the movie is currently under construction. You can become a fan here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Twice-The-Dream/129907497023350?ref=mf

I've been busy, but never been better!! I promise I will keep you updated!! Remember, Follow your Dreams, Always!!!
