Back to screening room
Rick (Joe Sears) is one tough
little bitch.
|
"It can get difficult pulling off a quality short in just a few days, but that's when I feel like I am at my best. I love the pressure of feeling we have limited time to shoot. It gets things done."
|
|
"I love doing short films like this one because I'm able to show my talent through a project that only takes a few days to do as opposed to working on a feature length which can take years."
|

"Getting work in L.A. is hard. I spent some time working as an extra- struggling to get into SAG. This short helped me get noticed and become a part of Ludicrous Productions. It's hard enough to get an agent, let alone screen time. "Oh Julia!" was perfect for me because I got to have fun with an odd character. I am now in SAG with an award winning feature under my belt, "Rutland, USA."'"

Jim and Rayne worked hard to pull off believability in this scene where they had to get hot and heavy in front of the crew.
