From self tape to booking!🎥
I always find it interesting seeing someone’s audition and then the final footage of the show, so I figured I’d share mine.
The top screen is the first take I submitted, and the bottom is footage of the actual episode!

Let in not be said, that as a company we don't like to bathe our actors in heavy red light. #indiefilm #behindthescenes #actress #darkcomedy #filmlife

Sandra and Barbara are enjoying a day at the beach with their partners in 1962. The night before they all went out to a night club. The men bonded, as well as the women, albeit in very different fashions. #filmmaking #indiefilm #lgbtq #lovestory #vintage

Let’s talk about the utter beauty of central California, y’all.
The home of Poppy Jasper was so beautiful with its lush wineries, vibrant flowers, billowy clouds and mission revival architecture. The towns of Gilroy, Morgan Hill and San Juan Bautista were so warm and welcoming; I thoroughly enjoyed our between-screen strolls.
Thank you for treating us so well, @sarahsvineyard and @lightpostwinery !

As a company we've strived from the start to always cast our parts as perfectly as we can. On our first film "Yellow Polka Dot" we cast @itsamystricker as our Barbara and @torilaneross as our Sandy. Separated by hundreds of miles and not able to rehearse together in person until right before the shoot, we took a gamble, We knew that we had casted our perfect stand alone characters, but what about chemistry?
Their onscreen performances together are the high standard we strive for now with each of our films, and have definitely lived up to.
They are a delight to watch together, and we are so proud of the characters they brought to life.
