Hump Day

We’re over the hump.  Yay for Thursday!

So today was day two on the movie set for me, day three of filming all together.  I did lots of sitting around.  I’m not complaining understand, I’m just stating that’s what happened.  I do, however, know that lots of others were complaining that had no right to complain.  If you ask me, extras have no right to complain.  Period.  I’m just grateful I was there and got to brush shoulders (literally in one scene) with rising stars who are serious about their work.  They’re good actors and I respect them, even if I don’t know their names.  All the other extras were looking at me like I was retarded because I didn’t know who our main characters were.  I just don’t follow tv and the movies and the media all that closely.  It’s not a priority of mine, especially when I’m so worried about how I’ll pay the bills. 

I’m really excited but freakishly stressed at the same time and my brain is not really sure what side of the spectrum to stray upon.  I’m excited because of the movie, and my upcoming candle party with my therapist, and my writing flowing today.  I’m stressed because of my hours being next to nothing and my bills piling up and no one is calling me back on jobs (besides the movie, but that is a hit or miss thing, they call you the night before they need you to see if you can come in.)  They’re filming for another five weeks and I can only hope that they keep calling me back.  I’m going to send my resume into an agency and pray that they have enough interest to represent me, even though they have many many talent resumes pouring in daily, especially since Granholm made the movie incentives.  I heard there are supposed to be over one hundred movies planned to film in Michigan. 
And I always thought I’d have to go to California…
