With Director James Skinner at Twitter Headquarters for the making of his film, "Friend Request".
Friend Request the Movie
Another day checking my inbox and there it is, an unexpected email from a director (every actor's dream). He is not your typical Hollywood director, he was pleasant and ready to shoot.
Funny enough the location is inside the twitter building which is right across my apartment. I could actually see the roof top (play field) from my bedroom. Never thought I would be in there anytime soon.
As soon as I walk through security and met Jim, he introduced me to the entire cast and crew. First, I met Colin, who is my love interest in the film. He was one of the actors from House of Cards. Pretty stoked about meeting him because I love the show. He was tall, very nice, and ridiculously good looking which is a complete contrast to the character he is playing. He is playing Lo, a douche bag who broke my heart in 10th grade until we graduated. He had the nerve to come back in my life and ask me for a huge favor. Hence, the friend request sent to my Facebook and brought back mixed emotions. But, instead my character, Sue Wen, decided to play with it. Your classic romantic comedy.
We are in the 3rd day production. It's a full 3-day shoot but the film is coming along well. In 30 days this film is going to be featured on the big screen in one of the major screening theaters in San Francisco. If our work gets attention and voted among the best, our next film will be funded.
Thank you to all the cast and crew. The best part about the whole experience is being spoiled at Twitter with gourmet chefs preparing our crew meal everyday. It's all true. It's all fancy. Tech world is the best place to work for. It's so innovative and everyday they are wired to create the future. In my opinion they are the right brain type of artist. Well, in my director's case it is both. His day job is a programmer.
To do what I love is pretty awesome. I can't wait to share with you guys the finished product.
I always keep in mind that if I am doing what I love, everything else will fall into place. I know it is a lot easier said, but we all have to believe in something, right? For me, acting is part of who I am, I performed all my life as a child. I have no ambition to simply be famous. Fame is a fluke. Not everyone with talent makes it and look at all the useless space of people on television today. It is irrelevant. Do what you love, something you identify with individually in any capacity possible no matter what. You owe this to yourself because time will pass anyway, so you might as well have fun with it.
