About Living Daylights Pictures. Scheduling Can Breed Creativity – Scene 106. Filmmaking Process: Lessons Learned Making My First Feature Film. Scheduling, and particularly scheduling conflicts, can be looked at as creative challenges — after the initial swearing and lamenting that no one cares about the film as much as you is over, of course.

all things gilli: A Convenient Post

http://gillimesser.blogspot.com/2011/10/convenient-post.html

Monday, October 24, 2011. Truly a Bristol Palin if she had short hair, I took this role very seriously (except for the pregnancy thing). Don't be too concerned if you can't quite discern where the acting and improving ends and the reality begins. In the meantime, check out the awesome production company that believed in my dad's message: http:/ www.livingdaylights.org/aconvenienttruth-about.html. And follow the movie's progress during post production on Twitter: @ConTruthMovie. View my complete profile.

Saturday, February 15, 2014. But I can't wait any longer! I try and bombard you with my happenings once a month, and I've already failed. Theme? I did that last year. President's Day? Believe it or not, I did write about that last year. I guess the theme of this post is the Un-Theme. Which is very "February" if you ask me. "Un-Theme's" a much better theme than the flu, which I have right now…so, you're welcome! This year's been kind to me so far! Wow, not having a theme makes this kind of sound braggy an...

For some time now, my dear friend/blogger/fashionista Chic Little Poor Girl has encouraged me to "guest blog" on her site.

Thursday, October 9, 2014. Watching TV with Me is. Annoying, to say the least. Not because I chew loudly or hog the remote, but because when I watch TV, I feel like I KNOW everyone. And I feel the need to share that information with whomever is watching with me. That car commercial? That girl in it is my friend from acting class. I also worked with the dude playing her husband on another commercial earlier this year! Oh, that phone commercial? I was on avail for it.wait.THAT'S who they cast? I used to si...

Love of your lover, your family, your friends, your pets (this is the most devoted love of all - hi Stella and Cas! And of course, love of "the craft." No, not that amazing ' 90's film.

Friday, November 22, 2013. James Franco just wrote a semi-fictional book. About acting, and in it, he has a cycle of poems dedicated to River Phoenix. In honor of this, here are some ridiculous actress Haikus for you to enjoy on this gray day. Time frames and windows. Too early, late, or in-between. Made it just in time! In the waiting room. Not nervous, no, not at all. Where did the year go? All the time, all the time. Just book something, please. Credits and tape and reels. Make it all worth it. Ok, so...
