If you haven't seen it, you should! One of the funniest movies ever, and is actually pretty touching with its portrayal of friendship.

Thoughtful Thursday: stop and smell the roses

I definitely believe in this quote.  I think it's the little things that make life worth living.  I hug from your best friend, a kiss on the forehead from the love of your life, the way grass blows in the wind, watching snow fall on a window.  These are things that make you stop and think "Life is beautiful."

Wonder Wednesday: Rainy Days

So here's to starting a blog schedule here =) Wonder Wednesdays!

I used to really hate rainy days. A lot of the time, they gave me headaches or made me just bleh-feeling. But I've suddenly really began to like them. Especially waking up with rain hitting my window. It's just the perfect weather to use as an excuse to watch movies, read, or spend your time however you prefer. How can you not love these days?

Below are some pictures just for these kinds of days =)

You can finish that book that's been sitting on your bedside table for three weeks

You have an excuse to finally wear your Hunter boots =)

You finally have time to start knitting that scarf!

You could go to a cafe and have really good conversation with an old friend

Life in a Day

I just finished watching the documentary "Life in a Day" on Netflix and wow, it hit me.  So I had to say something about it.

The film asked for submissions from people around the world to document their life on July 24, 2010.  It's interesting, because if someone asked me what this film was about, I don't know what I'd say.  I'd just say to watch it.  It's extremely difficult to explain a feeling a powerful film gives you, and it's even more enticing that this film was powerful with such a simple concept-- a day in the life.

First, it's very eye-opening.  Watching all of these different cultures is just a reminder that there's a big world out there.  People are going about their lives right now in China, to the South Pacific, to Poland.  I know we all know this, but seeing it right there in front of you is an entirely different and moving thing. 

Second, I really liked how the film was put together.  It takes you throughout the day from morning to night switching between people.  The filmmakers also asked very simple questions for people to answer in their submissions, which allows us to be a part of the people's minds in a more profound way.  But simply following someone's day really makes you feel connected to them, even if they aren't saying anything.

Just wanted to say that I highly recommend this documentary, it was fantastic!

Finding Cinema

So the reason I wasn't posting much this week is because I went on vacation (which was so much fun) and then filmed a music video with Finding Cinema.  I began working with Finding Cinema last summer when I auditioned for them for a short film called "Colorfree."  This weekend was so much fun, so I thought I'd share some of my time with you guys!

This still is from "Conversations," a mini series produced by Finding Cinema.  We're just about to finish filming the last episode of the first season!

This is a still shot from "Colorfree" =)

Another from "Conversations."

This was taken this weekend during the music video shoot.  I played Cupid!

This is a cool shot of Cupid's necklace from the shoot =)

So there you go! Be sure to check out Finding Cinema's site and I'll keep you guys updated on the projects!
