Icewalkers

Hey friends! So I've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to act in a few student films this year, including one for a 3rd year class at Queen's, called Icewalkers. 

It was a pretty killer process. One day, I was on a frozen lake for 8 hours and I got home and thought I was on the brink of death, I swear. I coddled up in a blanket for the rest of the night. 

Anyway, it's one of those post-Apocalyptic type deals (PS. I'm the lead!). It was a lot of fun and very exciting to shoot. 

Slam Poetry: Telescopes

WARNING: We're about to get a lil' sappy up in here, and I'm a little disgusted with how gross and mushy I can get (as I write this I'm making my ugly "yuck, boys have cooties" face).

This last Sunday, April 5th, was mine and my boyfriends' first year of being together, so I thought I'd post this embarrassing poem I wrote and performed for/about him. 

I love posting about Slam Poems and things like that because it makes me seem a lot more worldly and refined than I really am, like I just go to coffee shops and poetry slams and I order Dark Roast blends at Starbucks (in reality, I don't even know what dark roast is...I don't even drink coffee. u_u)

Anyway, I'm so unbelievably happy that my teammate and partner is someone who always inspires me-- not only to write, but to be the best me out there. Thanks, Jordan.

My first short film!

So, last month I did this super-fun thing called Focus Film Festival! It's a guerilla film festival at Queen's where you've got 72 hours to create a 5 minute short. I've made one or two shorts but this is my ~acting debut~ for screen, I guess (das me on the left!)

Above is the "fun reel" from the festival. I guess it's more like a very vague trailer about the festival-- but I'm in it giving some great slo-mo jazz hands. 

Anyway, our film was Boardwalk so I thought I'd share it here (and keep in mind we did all of this over the course of one weekend). Enjoy!
