I had a very unique experience a few weeks ago that I just have to share!
I am the executive producer and casting director of a pilot presentation entitled “Myrna,” which follows the life of an actor who sacrifices everything as she makes the transition from male to female. As of writing this, our fundraising efforts on FanBacked.com have raised over $34,000 (with a record-breaking achievement of matching our goal of $25,000 in the first 10 days!).
When I was first offered the project I told them I would do it on one condition: I had to play the role of the casting director. The creator and star, Marlo Bernier, said, “Are you kidding, honey? I wrote it for you!”
I clearly remember waking up on my shooting day with the “Christmas morning” feeling in my belly. I was so excited. I had learned all my lines with the help of a friend and the Rehearsal app (which, by the way, is brilliant for learning your lines!).
I came to set makeup-free per request, the beginning of my giant leap of faith to trust and let go since I usually never leave the house without at least some makeup on. (At my age I see this as a benevolent gesture on my part toward mankind.) We were shooting in a TV production office
