Yes we can.
Colorado. To some this word means nothing. But we know better. All around us is a state that has much to offer and as actors the best we can do is notice the flourishing world around us here in this state that is to some just one of those square ones in the middle.
As an actor who is just begining to look for work, it is a stressful and confusing time and many don't know where to start. Just where DO you look for auditions in Colorado? It may seem that there is no room for the film industry in a state like this, but look around you, there are many people just like you, people who want to work in the same industry and are finding ways to do what they love where ever they live. When I started acting I thought there were no opportunities outside L.A. and I wasn't alone. It's probably an aspiring actors biggest dillusion, but I'm happy to say I was wrong. If you love what you do, you'll find away to do it no matter where you are.
CASA is a great resource for those who are new and those who already know the ropes. With so many talented people in this state we can do anything. We just have to be organized and keep communicating with each other.
Look at it this way, One person on there own can't make a real movie(unless their pretty talented at both acting, writing, and editing but you still have the problem of being the only member on the cast and no one to help with the camera) but if we all help each other out we can make thousands! Who says LA is the movie making capitol of the world?! We can do it, slowly, maybe, but in a few decades that could be us(again, maybe more than a few decades.) What do you say Colorado? Yes we can.

As of recently I've decided to take most of the pictures off my page for safety reasons. Sorry, I just thought it was practical.
if I'm considering auditioning for something I'll send out a headshot. That's about it for today.
Thanks,
Eloise

So, what is the next step for you as an actor? What projects are you working on?
Ok, try this, think about a character that would be in a more williow/never ending story/princess bride/ wizard of oz, type of character. Tell me what you would do with a character like that, what archetype would you be,(The Queen, the mother, the pioneer, the slave, the prostitute, the storyteller, the artist, the alchemist, the damsel, etc...)? Make up your own type and what type of problem would your character embrace?
Along with that, let me know where the character lives and how their town thrives, that they live in.
Can't wait to hear, take care.

I envision an opening shot of tranquil wilderness. panning ever so slowly leftward while the opening poem is read. The camera settles on you and Angelina as the poem ends. You are sitting on the bank. Angelina is reading a book. You are bored. You look at the book over her shoulder. You suggest that the book is not interesting and attempt to start a conversation. She shrugs you off. You look around at the scenery. You try to distract Angelina again, from her book. You are playing with a handful of daisies when something catches your eye. "Did you see that?"
(I'd like to draw out the scene, building the curiosity and suspense. Catching small movements in the bushes, and very brief glimpses of the white rabbit.) Let your curiosity build as you play a gentle hide and seek with the rabbit. The camera cuts between ever closer shot of your face and snippets of the rabbit until you are face to face, from the camera's point of view. Cutting from a closeup of the rabbits' face to yours. Then, he hops back under cover. Where the rabbit sat, is a magical gold timepiece, the pocket watch. You reach out and grasp it in your hand. You examine the precious piece. Surely, the rabbit must have dropped it in it's haste. Your curiosity is peeked. You pursue the rabbit. Timepiece in hand.
You pause, having lost sight for a moment, then... there! You see a flash of the rabbit descending down the rabbit hole. You approach the hole and carefully look inside. Momentarily at a loss, you pause and stand to further examine your location and surroundings. Cutting between the "what do I do now?" look on your face and the scans of the terrain, the ground below you slowly gives way and you are sucked down the rabbit hole. (fade to black)
I'll continue the story in a bit. Do you see how I'm reworking the piece? Perhaps, Angelina could read the poem and/or be the voice of the rabbit.
