Review: I'm in this movie (I'm in the rally car chase scene. I'm the brunette with the yellow shirt and pink and straw hat. lol) so I can't really do a review of the film itself without having extreme bias. I will say that I had a lot of fun on set, and seeing it come to fruition at the premiere was awesome. Everyone was really great to work with so the feeling on set was light-hearted and fun. I can't wait to work on more projects with these production companies (Red Ants Marching & Goat in the Boat) as I have a role in the upcoming film Canis Lupus Rednexus. The movie premiered at 2011 MAGA Film Festival on Thursday February 17th. There is an encore of the film Sunday, February 20th at 9am at the Macon Marriot City Center. Information about the festival as well as ticket info can be found at http://www.maconfilmfestival.com/festival/ticket-information. I encourage everyone to see it and support indie film making. If anyone has seen it or will see it and would like to write a review, I will be happy to publish it on this blog. You can either remain anonymous or be given full credit. Let me know.
Fun Facts: Many of the actors in the film are residents of Macon or the Middle GA area. The car accident in the film was actually an unplanned, unscripted on-set car accident that was caught on camera and then used in the final cut. Luckily no one was injured.
