New York Work


So i am finally seeing commercial for Be Kind Rewind and i am so excited...this was my first job here in New York. I was an art department intern during the filming. It was an amazing film to have this position on...i learned so much and got it wonder around some really impressive sets and prop making. many props and costumes were manufacture during the shooting at a warehouse by the office. so i got to explore everyday what was being thought u p and experimented with.

also The Wackness got picked up at Sundance, it was my first opportunity at set dressing. I had a lot of contact with fake drugs and got to be a first hand witness to the notorious Ben Kingsley / Mary Kate Olsen make out session.
Sadly Phoebe in Wonderland wasn't optioned at the festival. Elle Fannning is an excellent little actress and a very impressive young person. She is very smart and an intuitive actress , she also can sing and dance really well. she was this endless source of energy on set.
my dear friend Kanta had the exhausting job of keeping eyes on her for the bulk of the filming and from time to time i would releive her for a 30 mintues or so and i owould be so tired out from it. Elle would just dance, sing , and talk her way through the set. jumping over cables, and around set dresser, while i would try desperately to catch up
.
i preferred keeping eyes on my new favorite actor Bill Pullman, who ended up being every girl on sets set crush.
he just has that extremely personable quality and he is very intrigued by people and new information. he seemed at some point to have asked everyone on set about where their from, what they like to do when no on sets...maybe many actors are like this. you know for character study. i believe this may be a habit from his theater studies and teaching experience.

Also Lipstick Jungle a show i had the brief privilege to work on his now on tv...it'as not really the greatest replacement for Sex and the City. I think i might like cashmere Mafia more only for Lucy Lui waredrobe and i am fond of the upper west side character because she is so spot on. Lipstick 's character just dont push the edge with NY high Fashion and style, neither are teh character quite as defined in the way that woman loved on Sex and the City. I really don't care what Lipstick or ever Cashmere character i am most like...while for sec and the sity i would take the online quiz to find out.
i did though get to meet my fav 80's heart throb Andrew "Pretty in Pink" McCarthy.... who thankful is a very nice and funny playful guy. Some thing very kid like about him in person that makes you not notice his face has more now a days character from age . still got that drop you panties smile though.
Brooke Sheild also very pretty in person though she has clearly aged... she is still iconic and has amazing legs.
