January 2010 - Sundance Film Festival- Utah

            “Back to Reality” is what I always told my daughter -

               after working in Show Business - and it’s a family

             quote -  I loved attending “Sundance Film Festival”

               in Utah - we stayed at the Sundance Resort - Now

             it’s “Back to Reality”  I was still on my computer and

                cell phone - during activities at Sundance - for

              all of your interviews and bookings.  Thanks to

                Terri in the Fresno Office and Suzanne in the Hollywood

               Office for your “backup” 

              I attended numerous Screenings - met dozens of Directors & 

            Producers and had  meetings to Cast up-coming films all over

              the U.S. and spreading the word about how easy

              it is to film here in the Central Valley.

                    I told so many filmmakers about Casting

                 “Finding Hope Now”  and “Stricken”  filmed

                  here in the Central Valley.

                So many film highlights - I enjoyed meeting

                 America Ferrera ( Ugly Betty) who Stars and

                 Produced “The Dry Land” she is a pretty girl-

                  and so smart - and down to earth - we also

                   met Ryan O’Nam & Jason Ritter ( John’s son)

                  who star in the Film -

                   I was also very impressed with Director/Actor

                    Mark Ruffalo - and he studied Acting with

                   Stella Adler in Hollywood as I did - wow

                   what a great guy he is - It took them ten

                    years of planning to shoot “Sympathy for

                     Delicious” - I was hoping to say hello to

                     Juliette Lewis - one of the stars - she was

                      not at the screening the evening I went.

                      I met her years ago when I went to Visit

                       Brad Pitt on the set of “California” and

                       her teriffic mom.

                      I could write about Sundance for a week -

                       Thanks to my daughter for taking me to

                        Sundance for my Birthday - I am already

                        planning for next year.

                       Terri ( at our studio) is working on a new

                        Blog - easier to read - so we will wait for

                        that to let you know about all the interviews

                         our clients are auditioning for.
