"King" of Queens

What an AWESOME time I had last week!

I recently booked a supporting role in the indie film "King Kelly," a story about a smarmy, cheeky girl with big dreams of taking over the internet porn-o-verse. Louisa Krause stars as Kelly herself, who films all her days (and freaky-deeky nights) on an iPhone and throws them up on YouTube. I'm playing Angela, her older sister, who has little tolerance for Kelly's nasty attitude and shady business ethics. It's kind of exciting for me, because (aside from being a supporting role), I was also cast as *MY AGE*! This is a first, folks! Angela is married with a 6-year-old son. While I fully embrace the fact that I look like a 12-year-old, I'm so happy to have been cast as a legit adult! :D

I was told to take LOTS OF GREAT PICTURES while I was on set, and though I am *terrible* at taking pictures (I get super-distracted), I made a concerted effort to pull out my camera and grab at least a couple of moments.

Aaron (my husband Tom), Anthony (my son Timmy) and Andrew (my dad)




















Mama & son--Anthony was an *awesome* child actor!










King Kelly is only my 2nd big indie film (the first was Jack and Diane , still being produced), and the experience was still so new for me! Our director Andrew Neel was just FANTASTIC--really great to work with, fun, excellent direction, and we had a lot of playful discovery in the scenes.

I had such a great time on-set with them, and I can't wait to see the final product!
