Film Shoot: (Cul De Sac)
Last week I got the opportunity to work as a PA on the set of an independent film titled "Cul De Sac," written by Matthew Rickart. The film was produced by Gabriel Meyers, who I also worked under at the 2009 Woodstock Film Festival. Griff Maloney directed the film and Matthew Farrell worked as the cinematographer. In this photo myself and assistant cinematographer Dylan Morgan, are positioning the video camera for a shot. The photograph was taken in Kingston New York on day three of the shoot.
Over all it was an amazing experience. I learned a lot I didn't know about working on a set and the translation of a script to film. I also had a very small acting part in the film. I played the waitress in a diner scene. It was great to work with such talented people.
Halloween 2008: "Donnie Darko" pumpkin carving
I carved this pumpkin last Halloween. The image is from "Donnie Darko," a film written and directed by Richard Kelly. I chose the image because I think the movie is beautiful and unique. I enlarged it, then traced it onto a piece of paper. I then purchased a slender, oval-shaped pumpkin and taped the image over the surface of it. Using a tac I poked holes along the outline of the sketch. Finally, I made my carving. It took forever! But I had fun doing it. I'm a big fan of film and art and I think this carving celebrates both. Can't wait to put up this year's carving.

Woodstock Film Festival 2009
This photograph was taken at the 2009 Woodstock Film Festival launch party at Libation in New York City. Talented Filmmakers like Peter Callahan, Oren Moverman, and Ted Hope attended the event, as well as celebrity guests Ben Foster and Lucy Liu. As an intern, I was in charge of the guest list. I had the privilege of being the first face to greet our amazing guests. It was a glamorous night and the perfect introduction to the festival and what it would be like to be a part of the WFF press team. It was a night I won't easily forget.
