Waiting For A Perfect Cue

It's been a week and a day since my amazing experience of being a movie extra. . . and I'm wondering what is next on God's "to do list" for me. I'm going to audition for a Tom Sawyer play next month, so I'm counting down the days until that. . . but I'm not exactly sure if that's what God wants me to do. Both of my parent's and I felt that I should audition for it, and ask God that if I was supposed to be in it that He would give me a decent sized part, one that I could learn in, and that would stretch my acting skills to a new level. And I'm also involved in a drama at our church. . . . But I wonder about that other opportunity that God started opening the door for me several months ago now. The one that I made Assr er Go∂r day because of. . . . I still haven't heard anything back since then, but the last I heard was that I would be contacted when they began preparations for another film. So who knows when that could be! But I'm praying, and trusting, that God will open the door completely, right at the perfect time; HIS perfect time. I just wonder when that is!!

Well. . . during this waiting time, I've been keeping busy with preparations for a short film that a friend and I are making. It's a film based around the song "He's a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as a few other tunes from that movie. But that is all I will say. ;)

Quiet on Set! . . . Places!!

So, yesterday has got to have been one of the best days in my life!!! :D A friend of mine is making a film for the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, so I was asked to be an extra in it.

I had never, ever done ANYTHING like being in a film unless home videos count, although I've dreamed of it since I was really little. And have recently started making plans to make several short films with my friend.

But, like I said, this has been a dream that I have had for a VERY long time! And you probably already know that I absolutely LOVE acting! So I was super excited for this opportunity that God had opened up.

And, well, to say it briefly, I wasn't disappointed. :) And now I fear that I am hooked on acting in, and/or making films for life. . . .

But anyways, I can't tell you any details of the shoot (I am under strict orders from the Director), but I can tell you that I have now gotten a whole new outlook on how do filming (like angles, etc.), and I have now had an "insider" look on how they do it. So my mind is just reeling with ideas and the thrill to get out on the field and practice what I've learned.

Basically, when I got home (and in the car on the way home), I was practically jumping off of the ceiling with excitement (plus the 3 and a half cups of coffee probably didn't help matters much. . . .). And even now I feel like despite the discomforts of a springy outfit on a cold wintry day and being in an unheated building for filming, I would be FAR MORE than willing to go back and do it all over again!!! :D
