From Julie: Wow! Time to brush up on my British dialect. I'm delighted to say I just booked the role of Gwendolyn Pigeon in the Lake Charles Little Theatre's production of "The Odd Couple." I grew up watching Walter Mathauw and Jack Lemmon toss quick witticisms at each other like verbal frisbees in the movie and I can't wait to do the play! For those of you who will be in the area this winter, the show goes up in February.
It's one of my favorite times of year for movies right now. It's Oscar season before the nominations. I love watching movies with buzz and sometimes it's the only time I get to see them on the big screen even if they end up nominated later on. In years past I've done Oscar videos, Oscar blogs and even super short Oscar Instagrams. This year though I'm thinking of teaming up with the Beetlejuice Minute guys and doing Oscar best movie review podcasts. Let me know what you would most like to see for this year's Best Picture Oscar predictions/reviews at info@cinemabliss.com.

From Julie: The 48 Hour Film Sprint! Oh my! I've done more than 10 film sprints over the years but this is one I will never forget. I can finally say I've "bled for my art!" As an actor you're pretty much trained to ignore the camera 99% of the time. So on September 23rd, I'm minding my own business sitting in a tall director's chair (we were shooting a TV show within the movie) when a 40 pound tripod leg started to slip. The edge of the tripod base knocked me in the noggin before I could blink. I suffered a headache for 4 days and you can still see a bit of a shiner if you look closely but the doc tells me I'm gonna be okay.
And am I excited to get right back on set! (Some folks never learn I guess. LOL) I think the end result came out rather well and the team "Missing Insert Productions" is keeping its fingers crossed this weekend. We got word we made it into the top 10 short films of the sprint and will be airing at this year's Lake Charles Film Festival on October 8th!
If you go, be sure to keep an eye out for "Coming This Fall" a short film about... well... the motley crew of characters who like to make movies and TV shows. Every Film Sprint has required elements so you don't cheat and pre-plan your story before the 48 hours begins. This year those elements were: an umbrella used by a character, the line of dialogue "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making the world believe he doesn't exist." and a private eye character named "Jay Hinklespurt." So if you're in Lake Charles, October 8th, come on down and see the end result of my shiner! For tickets go to www.lakecharlesfilmfestival.com or www.ticketleap.com.

From Julie: "I'm doing Pilates (OMG Ow!) and hot yoga (sweaty but worth it) to get back in dancer shape for "Stretch The Web Series." Lake Charles writer/director Patrick Shawn Bennett has cast me as a French assassin and I"m determined to create for you guys a fun villian you love to hate while stalking that little vixen Stretch. She thinks she's gonna save the world, but who is she kidding right? As soon as episode one is available I'll post the link! Sign up for the newsletter to be first with the scoop!"

From Julie: "While helping out a lot behind the scenes of different projects this year, I'm super excited to announce that Cinema Bliss' focus will be on acting and filmmaking. Some quickie highlights from 2016 so far include The Space Between premiere and DVD release. As an "original" 80's Ghostbusters fan, I was thrilled to be a part of writer/director/actor Anthony Phillip's 30 minute short film. I got to channel my iner Annie Potts and razz my onscreen hubby Ghostbusters style.
If you're a fan of Twilight Zone style stories then you're the person this film is made for. The Space Between is about a man framed for murder but instead of being chased by the cops he's being chased by the men who framed him. He doesn't know why but everything hinges on finding "the space between."
