A Guest

We had many guests that night including friends and family from not only our circles but from other filmmakers and film making schools in NYC. You can even see the promotional ads for the films and the theater in the background.

The Sisters Ortiz

Geneva A. Ortiz (pictured on the left) and her sister Wanda (on the right) are both extremely beautiful and talented actresses in the entertainment biz. Geneva is a devoted actress who somehow balances her very important family life with both a 9 to 5 career with her acting desires.  Geneva has also garnered a huge fan base on Facebook and IMDb while Wanda has gained skills as a make-up and hairstylist as well. Both are radiant and lovely conversationalists.

Geneva A. Ortiz and Me

Several of us went to the event together. As special guests, GENEVA A. ORTIZ and Her sister WANDA, who will pop-up later on the blog, came with us to the premiere. It was fun and  those girls were smokin' hot!! OMG!!!

A Photo Of A Photog!!!

Fernando Cortez was one of the photographers that night. Not camera shy, Fernando didn't miss a beat when Bin playfully snapped a pic of Taina and him.

David Orsillo (Det. Zachary King) & Yaron Urbas

Yaron Urbas conducted interviews for his documentary that night as the cast and other filmmakers lined-up for the cameras.

Our Last Event Was Captured By Bin Song Photography

We were very fortunate to have several photographers at our last event which was the premiere of THE P.A.C.T. at Anthology Film Archives. One of the photographers there was the very professional BIN SONG. She has a delicate yet detailed photography style that captures those moments often lost in time.

I will be posting over the next month one pic a day from the event. I will also be writing the occasional post so return daily to see new pics and other entertainment info.

PETAs Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door 2012 With ANISSA EVE!!!

Okay People :D
I am just having some fun by recommending this to all of you but one of our singer/composers of the music for THE P.A.C.T. has just entered a PETA sponsored contest. You have to register to vote and you can vote for as many contestants as possible but you can only vote ONCE for each person so if you are feeling a little generous and maybe even a little sexy vote for ANISSA EVE through the link below.

Good Luck, Anissa!

YOUR SHINY DESTINY - A NOTE TO EVERYONE ATTACHED TO THE P.A.C.T.

P.A.C.T. Cast, Crew & Dear Associates

On April 14th, we will be premiering at Anthology Film Archives. It is very important that you reach out to those whom you feel are important to your career and to those you feel may enjoy seeing you perform right now. Two weeks may seem like a long time and Heaven knows that a lot can happen in that time frame but sometimes people need a reminder (even if they live in the area) about what you are doing and how to get there. For those of you who ordered promo materials you are way ahead of the pack so get it out there soon. For those of you who didn't "No Worries" cause sometimes word of mouth can kick just as hard as a well placed postcard or an ornery mule!
I have already began to invite agents and c.d.s so half the work is done. Also, several of your fellow actors have wisely done the same aiming specifically at the agencies that they feel are important.
Whatever the scenario, do what you can because this is your moment. Letting moments like this pass without taking advantage of them can just be a waste and delay of time. Truly, what belongs to you cannot be taken away from you if it is 'your destiny' yet why wait for the next 'shiny' moment when everything you need is right here - right now!

*NOTE - I cannot even guarantee that the crowd will enjoy the film. They may laugh when they should be sad or moan when something is not up to par BUT at least they will be there if you do your part and invite them through Facebook, Evite, or whatever means you feel necessary!!!*

Stay Frosty When Its Hot & Heat It Up When It Things Start To Go Cold!!!

JEFFERSON SANDERS (of THE P.A.C.T.) Dares You To Beat His Upper Body Routine. AND GUESS WHAT? You'll Probably Lose.

Jefferson Sanders (also known as DJ) played one of the stronger supporting roles in THE P.A.C.T. of Eric La Flabian. What I didn't know is that this dude is a machine at the gym. His upper body routine of which one of them is called "The Sweep" consists of over a minute of supporting/holding up his body weight while doing a series of aerial maneuvers without once touching the ground. In fact, once your feet touch the ground its over. Either stop or repeat the entire routine which is done in varying sets and reps.
Just take a look at the routines below and tell me this isn't one of the most intense non-Olympic workouts ever.

A MIND SHATTERED. A DREAM LOST. A LIFE SAVED.

That's the new motto. However, I am still playing with different ideas. Check out the promo images below.

Just Playin' Around With One Of The Song's From THE P.A.C.T.

I was on my computer just listening to the music from THE P.A.C.T. and really appreciating all the help I received so I recorded how the visualizer interpreted the music. Technology is BEAUTIFUL... And so is Toby's Song by Vilmarie Vega.

My First On Camera Interview As A Filmmaker @ Castreach Party in NYC

I decided to get back into the flow of things by going to a networking that was coordinated by Castreach, an organization that brings entertainment industry people of all backgrounds together under one roof. The event was held at LUXE and club within the LUCKY STRIKE Bowling Lanes. I invited a few actors and friends for drinks there leaving it open as to whether they wanted to stay for the whole event or "jetty" when ready. Most stayed and those that did literally saw the party hit the stratosphere.

First, I met YARON URBAS an actor, director, and overall filmmaker who wanted to do an interview with me for his upcoming documentary which he is filming in part episodically. I and several other filmmakers did the interviews and that is when then the paparazzi showed up. Now there weren't any true celebs there but I get the concept. Find them before they are stars and develop the story/angle or in other words "get the drop" first. 

1) A girl stands behind a statuesque man and rips his shirt off (WTF)

2) I and my new friend Janette Webb pose for a few shots. The music picks up she starts dancing and I am blinded by the sea of flashing lights. I dodge (foolishly) out the way (cause I can't dance) and she is ablaze in flashing lights... And totally LOVING every moment.

3) Several of the most interesting people wanted to take photos with me... So I got pass myself and was like cool.

4) Then music that my older siblings danced to came on and kids half their age jumped on the floor. And yes that is when the break dancing started... 'Nuff' Said! 

Check out the pics below to see how off the hook this party was. I can only pray that there are more parties like this in the future

LOL4REAL.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ON ANISSA EVE

Normally I would write an article talking about the accomplishments and (stylistic) career endeavors of the artist that I am focusing on but this time it is a little different. Anissa Eve is a complicated woman of many layers and levels. To find out more about her I seriously encourage you to look her up on the web to find out about who she really is and what motivates her. Her song "Walls Of My Heart" will be featured in the ending sequence of my next short film "THE P.A.C.T."

A Beautiful Dancer. A Wonderful Singer/Songwriter. A Lovely Pro-Feminist Soul.

BTW - She teaches striptease dance classes online... HELLO!!!
