A few weeks ago I was approached by
Tyler MacIntyre, a filmmaker
out of Los Angeles that I worked with in 2007.
His latest project is a short film that uses
Toronto’s
Nuit Blanche as the backdrop.
He’s cast me as the female lead, in part because of my improv background (the
dialogue is improvised) and in part for my knowledge of photobooths, as they
are central to the film’s plot. I’m really excited to be a collaborator on this
project! Along with Tyler as the director, I will also get to work with
Mike McLaughlin, a cinematographer based in Toronto/ Edmonton and Colby Cseke, an actor from
Calgary.
I fly to Toronto this Thursday and we shoot over the
weekend. I’ve also never been to Nuit Blanche (only to Halifax’s much smaller
event, Nocturne,) so I’m excited to partake in this massive event. This project will be a refreshing creative
outlet for me and I also think that it’ll be a fun tidbit for
my book.
I haven’t acted in front of a camera since
2007, so I have some butterflies in my stomach. Here is a production still and a poster from the 2007
short film,
Sleepless, directed by
Mike McLaughlin.
