Wordless - Comedy Short with link to Video

So the film "Wordless" is a comedy short about a desperate single mom struggling to find love. It had been an official selection at three or more film festivals including #SanDiegoFilmFestival the #BroadHummor Festival and nominated for best comedy at the #FallbrookFilmFestival

After talking to the lovely director Laura Gill pictured to the right of me. She said I can finally allow people to see the film since she's done submitting it to festivals.

WORDLESS - the Short Film

So just as I was thinking that I need some new comedy clips for my demo reel, a young female director called me to audition for her short film...I never even submitted my picture for it. Apparently somehow I ended up in the files of her films school, she found an old Black and White picture of me from 8 or 9 years go.

It's a good thing I hadn't changed my email address since then. I read the script, it was hilarious, she was able to picture what I would look like now, and thanks to footage she found of me on the web, she knew I could do physical comedy without being stiff. I had so much fun on the set getting to let my inner dork come out and play. She did a little aging make up on me and found me some dorky pajamas, although I have to admit the leopard shirt and the hot sticks in the hair were mine. Although we just shot it less than two months ago, it has already made it into two film festivals.

Hello Cheekbones!

I found this pix of me from 2003, see how full my face is... the pix next to it is from a couple of years later... I've only lost maybe 15 pounds, but the difference is really noticeable, I have cheekbones now! I remember one time Joy Behar on "The Veiw" said something to the effect of when you reach a certain age you have to choose between your face and your butt... in order for one to look good, the other suffers. Sometimes when I think of losing weight I'm afraid my face will look like a skeleton?

I've been thinking of joining a gym... I tried the whole work out at home thing but there are too many distractions, and honestly my "workout" was just going for walks which was not doing much to make my tight clothes any looser. 2004 is the year I became vegetarian, and eventually vegan. I don't like to say I'm vegan because then everyone scrutinizes every bite you eat... but I'm cautious to say I'm vegetarian because then everyone wants to serve you cream and cheese laden fare... So I say I'm 95% vegan... (the other 5% is usually dessert :) )

Work outs must be fun or I won't do it, I know it determines whether I get certain parts or not... but gosh, I always feel like I have so many more important things to do... like writing poetry. Of course everything is subject to change... if I'm getting paid millions a picture, I guess I'd have a few less qualms about it.
