So, this is the time when I plug myself.
These are my new headshots, which I completely adore. If you would like to show them to your agents, managers, casting director friends, etc., and say “This is Sarah…she’s incredibly talented, and you should meet her.” Well then….that would be just swell.
It’s resurfaced!
4 years ago, I shot this short film right out of college. It’s directed by and starring Devan Mulvaney. He recently recut it, and submitted it to the vimeo film festival. And…here it is!
I look so….young. And so…baby fatty.
Alright people.
So, I admit that I’ve always considered myself a bit of a facebook snob. In my defense though, there are reasons for this. Basically, my alma mater was one of the first 10 or 15 schools to ever “get” facebook, so I’ve been using this social networking site for almost 8 years. Not only did I have it before parents, celebrities, brands, and teenagers had it, I had it before state schools had it. I remember going home for winter break my freshman year, and all of my friends exclaiming, “Oh my God, you have facebook!? What’s it like?!” (But back then it was called THE facebook.)
Anyway, I think that precisely because of this fact, I’ve always been resistant to using facebook for any means other than keeping in touch with my friends, posting photos, and sharing inside jokes. That’s what this thing was originally FOR, and I’ll be damned if I use it for any other reason. Lately though, I’ve become more and more aware of facebook as a networking tool, and as a ways in which some people—who do not know me very well personally—form an opinion of who I am.
Along that vein, I’ve decided to begin using facebook to promote myself as an actor, mostly because at this point, it’s unavoidable. (I can almost hear Garrett rolling his eyes as I type this.) So, if you know me, and appreciate me—or even if you don’t know me, but like this little ol’ blog—could you go ahead and “like” me please? I promise nothing obnoxious will ever happen on that page. OK? OK.
Linky: Here.
So. It has been a while.
I’ve been on radio silence for about a month because there have been some very big changes in my life recently. Namely, I picked up everything and moved across the country, New York to Los Angeles.
I didn’t have a job waiting here. There was no real reason. I had friends, a sublet I had found, 5 boxes I had shipped to said friends, and 3 suitcases that I took on a plane. I left a job, connections, a boy, my life.
I moved because I felt stuck. I’d been feeling like I was making zero progress in my career, and that nothing was ever going to change. That no one on that coast was ever going to open a door, or hell, even a window for me, and let me crawl through. I hadn’t shot anything in over a year. What the hell was I doing?
And I felt like it had to be now. Now, when I wasn’t in a committed relationship (I was only, you know, testing the waters of one), when I didn’t own any property, when I didn’t have any children. When I was still young enough. I felt like if I didn’t give myself a kick in the ass now, it was never going to happen.
So, I crossed the country on a plane, weeping and sleeping and being anxious. In the past 17 days I have moved into a sublet. I have bought a car (and am now…broke). I have checked craigslist for a serving job every 10 minutes, and have had 3 interviews in 3 days. And hopefully, hopefully, I will land one of these jobs in the next few days…because I need the money.
My to-do list out here is long. And it involves agents and managers and casting directors, apartments and furniture, classes and jobs. And to live dangerously and to jump off some metaphorical cliffs.
I moved so close to the new year, I thought—why not begin my New Years’ Resolution now? And my resolution is—to live on the edge more. To live in that space where you say “fuck it”—because that is the place where all the magic and creativity happens. What if I spent my time really asking for what I want, instead of hoping that someone in a position of power likes me and decides to offer? What if I’m ballsy enough to just…say it?
So. That’s me. Let’s see what happens.
Yes, I’ve been gone for awhile.
Where was I? Oh, you know….I was at the place pictured above.
And I’d like to go back. Now, please.
I had a birthday. And this happened.
That’s me in the tiny pink shorts. For the record, we’re cuddling.
of course my first ever director’s credit is over an image of 2 people dry-humping.
Everytime I watch this, my heart jumps around a little bit.
forgot about this. neat stuff (good work, @da7e). it’ll be done very soon…
(for anyone who doesn’t know, this is a little behind-the-scenes montage of the production of a short me and some peeps made in May called Proposals. you can check out the trailer here)
