"Back to Reality" is what I always told my daughter -
after working in Show Business - and it's a family
quote - I loved attending "Sundance Film Festival" in Utah - we stayed at the Sundance Resort - Now
it's "Back to Reality" I was still on my computer and
cell phone - during activities at Sundance - for
all of your interviews and bookings. Thanks to
Terri in the Fresno Office and Suzanne in the Hollywood Office for your "backup"
I attended numerous Screenings - met dozens of Directors & Producers and had meetings to Cast up-coming films all over the U.S. and spreading the word about how easy it is to film here in the Central Valley.
I told so many filmmakers about Casting
"Finding Hope Now" and "Stricken" filmed
here in the Central Valley.
So many film highlights - I enjoyed meeting
America Ferrera ( Ugly Betty) who Stars and
Produced "The Dry Land" she is a pretty girl-
and so smart - and down to earth - we also
met Ryan O'Nam & Jason Ritter ( John's son)
who star in the Film -
I was also very impressed with Director/Actor
Mark Ruffalo - and he studied Acting with
Stella Adler in Hollywood as I did - wow what a great guy he is - It took them ten years of planning to shoot "Sympathy for Delicious" - I was hoping to say hello to Juliette Lewis - one of the stars - she was
not at the screening the evening I went.
I met her years ago when I went to Visit Brad Pitt on the set of "California" and her teriffic mom.
I could write about Sundance for a week -
Thanks to my daughter for taking me to Sundance for my Birthday - I am already planning for next year.
