The Many Faces of Julia McAlee © 2009

Yes, lovely things have been happening!

I’ve done a few photo shoots with some really cool photographers, and have more lined up.

I’m also working on a short silent film by Zach Gore called “Here and Gone” – the final shoot is all day tomorrow, and it’ll be screened at the Northwest Film Forum as part of the “Silence Is Golden” film challenge.  Last weekend was really fun, the cast and crew are really great, and we had a blast, so tomorrow should be fun as well  The filming style is totally different from anything I’ve ever done – so that’s always new and fun and exciting, and also totally a challenge!  It’s being shot in a stop-motion style, so we have to move and freeze, move and freeze, move and freeze – which for fluid movements is kinda hard, and for facial expressions, is nearly impossible!  And since it’s a silent film, of course there’s no dialogue – so for the actors, it’s all about movement and expression – so it’s kind of acting in its pure form.  Which is really cool.

I also had a photo shoot recently for the indie feature I recently got cast in, Lost To Love by Stephen Les – and had a rehearsal which went really well.  The cast is really talented, and the script is great… not to mention that my character is really cool – I get to be an 18 year old girl with blonde highlights who lives in a trailer park and may or may not be sleeping with a 50-something year old guy (she clearly is).  Her name is Clarissa; she listens to Patsy Cline and acts really angry, even though she’s just pretty sad and romantic and lonely.  So I’m super excited about being a part of that!  We’ll be shooting in the coming weeks.  ’Twill be great, I imagine.

And I’m going to LA for a week in mid October – yay!  That’ll be a fun adventure!  Yay life!  haha

Here are a few pictures from recent photo shoots.  They’re all unedited so if I have a visible zit don’t judge me.  I’m naked in one but you can’t see any girly bits, and in another I have a shirt on but you can totally see my nipples.  Is that edgy?  Not for me.  If my private life I’m basically a nudist (ask my roommate because it really is true)!
