Autumn 2012 - Busy Times Ahead...

Greetings fellow readers,

Apologies for the hiatus in the last couple of months, as you can see from my Autumn Wallpaper below I have been one busy little lady  From now on i will be updating my blog from season to season as I've figured it will be only fair for me and you dedicated readers to know what i've been upto when I do have the chance to upate... So lets begin should we...

August - Apart from the obvious events happening in my city of London (Olympics, Paralympics etc) I cast in a number of projects during this month. From being cast as "VO Artist" (Principal) in Golocalise's Promo Video which you can now view here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th1s6tjsf2w&feature=plcp to finally getting my hands on the Trailer I filmed back in July called "Wellbeloved" were i played the title character of "Tracy". The project is currently being developed for a Feature so catch it/me in 2014 LOL.

September - Another great month this year, full of projects, big and small for little old me and my fellow British East Asian artist I find. Got the chance to be apart of Grime Daily's Tv Series "Johnny",  being cast as Vanesssa (Cast) in Episode Two of the show. Had a early call time and met some very talented young actors from North London, so proud. The episode will be available to view online soon I'm told. Another role i was cast in was "Office Worker" (Featured) in "The OverUnder" Music Video shooting at Elstree Studios. Directed by Josh Miller (Little Minx). After a casting and recall, I was cast as "Nkoyo" (Principal) in Children and Families Across Borders (CFAB) Corporate Video. Shoot went really well dispite the weather - it actually made all the scenes look pretty dynamic so no real lost there, just got a little wet is all.

During this month and a couple of months before I joined up with a great group called BCTV/LCCA and spent our time organising the Mid Autumn Festival 2012 in our great city. I was the Scriptwriter/Creative Director/Casting Director for the stage play of "The Moon Goddess" have to be proud to say we had to organise everything in 1 month before the live show and we managed to pull off a great event/time. Next up London Chinese New Year 2013, casting call for East Asian Performers can be found here: http://www.chinatownartsspace.com/news/entry/casting_call_-_london_chinese_new_year_2013 So if you want to be part of the worlds biggest Chinese New Year celebration and want to show everyone what we East Asian Performers can do - PLEASE APPLY NOW!!! CASTING NEXT MONTH!!!

Boy, was September a busy month for me and my fellow BBC's (British Born Chinese) Artists, lots of us went to the Open Casting Call for TVB/Chinese Channel including me and my BCTV team. Auditions was for Presenters/Commercial Actors and Voiceover Actors, so proud again to say we did great in this competition. Half of the final 8 in the presenter catergory was members of my BCTV team (including me) good times LOL, had to film a cheesy X Factor Style Promo, Interview and Q&A for the judges to decide the final 5 to be broadcast on the channel for public votes. Congratulations to all the participants/finalists and winners! Onwards!!! x

October - Started the month off with filming Music Videos, from being cast in Mastermind Media's project to modelling for CA's "Who I Am" Pomotional Ad Campaign. Filmed on Warp Films Short Film - "Dr Easy" and Universal Picture's "Kick-Ass 2" as "Oriental Clubber". Another trip to Pinewood studios for that project and worked with fellow BEAA (British East Asian Artist) Tom Wu (Batman Begins, Skyfall, Spirit Warriors, Shanghai Knights etc) during the scenes.  Had to put on an incredible amount of "clubbing" makeup and wear a very revealing dress *shudder* but great fun dancing around and meeting many incredible new people

November - Another Music Video shoot to start the month off, was cast as "Obsessive Fan" (Featured) in Humphrey Milles - "Not Enough" Music Video produced by Rokkit TV another great time on set. Jumping and Screaming till I had no voice left at the end of the day. The release of "The Cube" - Short Film/Music Video is now available to watch online! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxMPHq1F-ZU Filmed on British East Asian Feature Film "Lilting" for Microwave/BBC Films and cast as "Presenter" (Co-Lead) in a new Television Cooking Pilot for Discovery Channel Asia and ITN. Really excited for this project - not only will I get to work with my good friend/fellow BEAA (British East Asian Artist) Alan Low, my other "Presenter" (Co-Lead) for this project but I will get to try out some incredible dishes around London Chinatown for FREE!!!  Hoping this does get picked up for filming next year - we will get the chance to improve our presenting chops and travel around Asia trying out their cruisines, learn about the history of the dishes and just an excuse to get another holiday!!! Woop Woop!!!

Currently - Prep work for Cooking Pilot (Filming soon), Workshopping Feature Film "All That Remains" (Filming Soon) http://www.majoroakentertainment.com/allthatremains/ Waiting to hear back from "Blue Dragon" Commercial (Pencilled/Possible Filming in December) Music Videos shoot next week... Busy, Busy, Busy...
