Latest film, "subHysteria", in pre-production

Wow, things are just getting more and more exciting for me these days. My latest film, called subHysteria, is now in pre-production and the whole concept is intriguing, intense, the kind of opportunity that zings electricity all up and down my nerve endings. Yup, I feel it. Creation. Metamorphosis... my addiction...

Ahem...anyway...

Said best in the words of the director and creator, Leonard Zelig:

"Sixteen people get stuck in a subway car in NYC for 36 hours, without communication, food, a way to escape, and with a fatal sensation that they are going to die.

A raw display of human behavior when one confronts the possibility of death.

Denial, Fear, Anger, Acceptance . . . Anarchy"

Are we gonna have fun, or what?

And, even better, we are taking suggestions from our fans, so a story suggestion you put in could end up in the film!

A great cast, an amazing idea, and away we go. Check out the links.

"After You're Gone" Wrap-up

So, I'm a little behind on writing this, what with the wrap party blooper reel hilarity and downing a bit too much Lambic. But here goes...

Alas, I must put away the hippie wear and retire my wig, and try really, really hard not to brood over imperfect takes and misspoken lines (as we are always our own worst critics and things are rarely as bad as imagined). Now comes the waiting, with eager impatience and annoying emails to the director of "Is it done yet?" and "You're not going to use THAT take of me, are you? That angle makes my nose look big." ;-P (Inside joke, y'all. MY nose, of course, could never look big. My teeth, on the other hand...)

Anyway, here is another pictorial glimpse into the film, and the makings of. Enjoy!


The "Wedding", with the wonderful Ayesha Mansur playing the minister.


This could almost be the DVD cover... :)


Er...wait, something's not right here...


In the middle of a take.


This is another one of those I can't really explain. But it was certainly fun to watch...heh.


Kristen Wheeler as "Andrea".


In character and ready to hear "Action!"


The three funniest people on set, Kristen, Matt and Dennis.


After weeks of me in a wig, no one was used to seeing the real me, so...


The End (sort of...)

Behind the Scenes on the Latest Project...

Well, I don't want to give too much away, but I'm in a new feature film called "After You're Gone", written and directed by Brian Fairbanks, currently being shot in NYC and, as usual, I am having a blast...woohoo!

So, here are some behind the scenes pics from a couple of our shooting days.

Oh, OK, I'll give a couple of hints about the film. 3 words: Canada, INS, and lesbianism.

Have fun!


Sean Flanagan and me getting crispy at Coney Island. Why yes! It IS a wig!


Sarah Fischbeck, Matthew Naclerio, and Joanna Schubert, just a-posin'


Jeremy Fernandez, my son. Whoa! I'm playing a mom?!


Me and Angela Church, m'main squeeze...

Yup, this film gave me my first girl kiss, and you know what? It wasn't as awkward as one would think. (No, you shouldn't read too much into that statement. Tsk tsk ...)


Nadja Hoyer-Booth, Sean Flanagan, me and Brian Anthony Wilson after the arrest...er, yeah...


*sigh* I'd try to explain, but you wouldn't believe me...

Wow, I still REALLY love my job. More to come soon! 'Til then, have a great weekend.
