• Summer 2013 - Travel, Work and MORE Filming

  2013-08-14 2:39AM / 標準BLOG

  Hello All You Happy Readers!!!

  What a busy and crazy half of the year it has been so far - been by so fast its already August! Where has the time gone? The past 8 months have been pretty hectic with tons of travelling opportunities thanks to my work at Google. That's right - I work part time for Google now! One of the best places to work - from their daily amazing food to the brilliant new friends/colleagues I've made already and the AMAZING perks to this job.

  All the travel opportunities have been both tiring and exciting! I have already been to the following so far:

  San Francisco (Twice), Tokyo (Twice), Spain (Once) and All around the UK (Mainly Oxford/Manchester) but still good!!!

  Lots more travel opportunities to come - hint (Will be heading to France soon for my summer break) CAN'T WAIT - really need this break. Although I did just come back from a little break with some friends from Rome (^-^) But need more!!!

  You can now follow and like my work/travel pictures on my Official Instagram Page.

  Apart from my part time work, my "acting" career has been pretty stable - with LOTS of Commercial work to Short Films. Hopefully some feature film/television or even stage work will come my way - would love to do something constant and to sink my teeth into.

  I have been lucky with a couple of projects that I'm pretty proud of and looking forward to seeing soon on the big screen. One is an amazing feature film "All That Remain", please follow the official blog/site to keep up to date with all the progress for the film.

  Another is a short film where I got to work with a pretty awesome director who has won 2 EMMY's!!!

  Got to practice my Cantonese in two short films - one will be screening in September 2013 so WATCH THIS SPACE!!! 

  I'm now going to cram as much video links for you guys so you can view all the work I have done so far (From music videos to commercials to short films - please note also that the short films are in Cantonese so if you can understand it feel free to view if not feel free to view and try to work out what's going on as their is no subtitles just yet)

• Welcome 2013 - Snow, Holiday and Modelling

  2013-03-17 10:58PM / 標準BLOG

  Happy 2013 to my fellow readers,

  Currently sitting in a coffee shop trying to update all my related sites/blogs and writing up what's been happening for the past few months. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, New Years, Chinese New Year, Birthdays, Special Occasions etc LOL.

  Just arrived back home last weekend and already so much has happened!!!

  So lets begin with my adventures shall we...

  Finally got my hands on a copy of the Cooking/Travel Show we filmed back in the cold months of 2012. Getting ready to shoot during the summer, so if you happen to be in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and other parts of East Asia - we might be bumping into you on the streets/restaurants/food markets/food stalls so get your camera face ready, we might be interviewing you for your opinions/recommendations/talent for the show!!!

  Next up, with lots of indie feature films filming during the months of Nov/Dec in good old London town - had the pleaser to work on a few from "The White Room" to "Down Dog" coming out for 2013 release so keep your eyes on that.

  It had been so cold in the UK that I decided with a couple of friends to head for a slightly warmer climate to bring in the New Year after a pretty fun and exciting 2012. We all really needed this amazing break away.

  So here is a quick Holiday update - For Chirstmas/New Years, we heading to Japan. Then headed back to the UK for about 3 weeks before heading out to Hong Kong, China and Macau for Chinese New Year and all of the month of February was pretty much a Chinese Month for us. We explored, We Ate, We had fun, We took pictures, We laughed, We Cried, We had the best holiday in months LOL. Now back to London and straight into work again. We will be coming back to Asia soon!!! Watch out you guys!!!

  Oh, and if you want, you can now add me or just view our pics on our visits/adventures/food at my Official Instagram at LWong3000 (The same name for all my social networking goodies Twitter, Facebook, This Blog LOL) Keep up to date with my almost daily pics uploaded and if you want add me on Facebook. http://instagram.com/lwong3000

  First job back was a Modelling gig for a range of new Solar Powered products for Gennex Elite which I had a blast posing for haha, did such a good job that I have been asked back for more shoots with them and have been chosen as their Spokeperson/Official Model for their Solar Mini Products - Woop Woop. Pictures to come soon - will defo post them up.

  Second job, which I am going to continue to film tonight, after this blog entry that is, is a new Short Film "The Transformation" which I can say is something similar to the lines of typical teenage fantasy/horror/romance stuff (Warm Bodies,Twilight etc) The film will be entered into this years many Short Film Festivals so watch out!!!

  Video Update - Check out the video for CFAB Private Fostering that I shot back in the Autumn of last year. https://vimeo.com/60001680 Enjoy!

  Okay guys, that will be it for this entry but see you next time with more adventures. P.S - I will be heading to San Fransico for 5 days to film something special soon and have myself a mini Holiday trip to see a couple of mates in the states LOL always an excuse. Remember - Head to my Instagram/Facebook to view my adventures.

  Stay Awesome!

  Lots of Love,

• Autumn 2012 - Busy Times Ahead...

  2012-11-21 11:10PM / 標準BLOG

  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...

  Let's get more East Asian faces on our screens!

  See you all next season! Tah!

• Even More Filming

  2012-07-15 12:12AM / 標準BLOG

  Hi All,

  Finally get a chance to update and add a new blog entry. Been so busy as there seems to be a rush of filming to get through before the Olympics it seems and its both great and tiring for some, but I can't really complain as I love to keep busy :)

  First up as you can see I have been so busy during June that there is no blog entry for last month so making up with an extra long entry this time to make up for it. Coming off from my last entry - I auditioned for and was cast as "Megumi" (Principal) in London Film School's Short Film "Faa iheihe" shooting in June 2012. This MA Filmmaking project was displayed at The National Gallery on 13th July 2012. I was supposed to do this but had to drop out at the last minute to film an even bigger project. Before I did I still had the dress rehearsal and workshop but glad my fellow actor friend filled in for me before the camera's started rolling. I still hope to one day work with everyone again on a different project. So bummed I had to let that part go - would have been great to show off my Japanese skills.

  So the reason I dropped out was because I was going to be filming on Channel 4's New Drama "RUN" with Katie Leung (Harry Potter's Cho Chang). Which was so much fun to do, early wakeup calls, wardrobe and makeup fitting plus meeting the rest of the cast and crew. Played the part of one of Katie's immigrant friends from China - stereotypical role but at least it something, will lead to more. Plus I was one of the lucky one's that didn't get caught by the police lol. So more days on set!

  The weather in London has been horrible in mid June to beginning of July and had alot of filming to get through still. Lots of outdoor scenes that required sun so some projects had to change from outdoor to indoor scenes. But during this I still went to castings when I had some days off, mostly on Thursday's it seems? Weird?! Anyways, one of the best jobs I got from a casting this month was when I went to a casting via skype. Was actually a pretty long talk from interests and then got improv to do with casting director and even weirdly the director and producer of the gig. Then a couple days later went to meet the AD at spotlight for recall before getting the confirmation the day after.

  I had been cast as "Harajuka Girlfriend" (Principal) for "YAMAHA" Corporate Video shooting in Tokyo, Japan that weekend. Had to pack my bags and hop on the plane quick for wardrobe/makeup and filming for the next 2.5 days on the other side of the world. Was so much fun, everything was paid for. I had to wear a typical Harajuka style costume and everything on the back of a massive and brand new Yamaha Bike with lead actor riding it. Improvised a fun and then silly scene for filming before everyone headed out for dinner, Cast and Crew. I convinced the production company to let us stay another couple of days out there for exploring, sightseeing and shopping which they happily agreed. Was given a tour around Tokyo from fellow Cast and some Crew members before I had to head back to London for filming/meetings. I will have to head back to Japan for proper holiday soon!

  The very same day I arrived back in the UK I had a casting for a trailer around London Bridge and booked that part. I have been cast as "Tracy" (Principal) for "Well Beloved" SCI-FI / Love Trailer. Met some lovely people during filming and will definitely keep in touch with them - its always great to make contacts.

  We are now all up to speed with everything, woop woop. So lets continue on with July!

  I am currently filming a new HSBC Commercial "App Tycoon" for 2012 and have been cast as "Summer" (Lead) in Monumental Media's Promo "Till Midnight Comes" shooting now. Mostly night shoots and although its been raining it couldn't ruin the mood of the cast and crew. Infact it has made the scenes more amazing. I can also now happily announce I have been cast in another Feature Film, filming soon and I will post all about that on my next blog entry.

  Okay I'm off for another long night shoot tonight, hope you've enjoyed reading this months entry and remember to enjoy your summer! The Olympics is only days away now! Can't wait!

  Until next time,

  Peace X (^-^)

• Busy, Busy, Busy Bee

  2012-05-27 2:55PM / 標準BLOG

  Good Morning Dear Reader,

  What a busy time it has been again and I'm loving every minute of it. Began April with a bang of both filming, handing in my essays and studying for my exams - which I have now pretty much completed and will be having a much deserved Summer Break soon. Got confirmed for and shot a new Corporate Short Film for The Fields "Trust Me - I'm in Marketing!" which will be posted and available to view soon via my Official Facebook Fanpage: www.facebook.com/LWong3000

  Had such a fun time filming that, made some great contacts and will be working with The Fields again for other projects in the near future. During the month of April and May it seems there are alot of big feature films filming around London and I got to be apart of all the action - all thanks to my friends at Casting Collective: www.castingcollective.co.uk

  Here are just some of the films I've been apart of and still got more to be confirmed for filming soon: Feature Film - Keith Lemon: The Film (Keith Lemon and Kelly Brook), Skyfall (Daniel Craig), Closed (Eric Bana), Rush (Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde), Thaandavam (Bollywood Movie).

  Phew, okay and during Mid May I got cast as "GB Supporter" for Channel Four's Paralympics Superheroes 2012 Tv Ad/Ident which was filmed in Crystal Palace. Was a very early wake up call just like the Feature Films above (some as early as 3:30am!) and we filmed both outdoors and indoors. Watched the Paralympic Wheelchair Rugby while filming which I got to say was a very exciting sport. Soon after, I was cast in a new Coca Cola commercial which was filmed on Greenscreen at Camberwell Studios as Alice's Best Friend (Principal) which was another fun adventure for me - can't wait to see what was supposed to be in place of all the green.

  We have been having some beautiful weather around London which is always wonderful to have, got to spend more time in the sun during my holiday. But I don't think I will have too much free time thanks to another 2 Short Film shoot and 3 Feature Films to prepare for - will be rehearsing and workshopping soon for shoot during Summer and Autumn. Loving Life!

  Might have to consider differing a year from University to concentrate on my projects, will see in August if filming is confirmed first. Until then thanks for reading and keep following your dreams. Hope to meet or possibly work with you soon.

  Lots of Love
