cleaning; erika's movie; meme
Sep. 29th, 2005 09:57 amI cleaned a lot yesterday. Go, me! There's actually a floor in my bedroom now. With space to walk around and sit and.. well, I could probably throw poi and play with kali sticks in here if I was pretty careful. Heh. Yay! Got like.. three more rooms to go. And a bathroom. Oy.
Erika Amato's new film is premiering next month. Here's the e-mail she sent out:
So, I'm in a movie, and it's premiering in Hollywood next month! =)
I'm one of the four leads, playing "Jula Diva" in a new indie feature film called "A Couple of Days and Nights," written and directed by Vaughn Verdi. My band Velvet Chain's music is also used extensively in the movie, which also features tracks by 70's and 80's supergroup, Heart. Go to the site to find out more, see pics from the movie, watch the trailer, etc. http://www.acoupleofdaysandnights.com
The movie stars me, David Lago (7th Heaven, the Young and the Restless - Emmy Winner), Shonda Farr (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jack & Bobby), Allison Munn (What I Like About You, Elizabethtown), Joseph Peracchio (Smack, Into the West), KW Miller (Wicked - nat'l tour) and Deirdre O'Connell (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
The film will be world-premiering at the Hollywood Film Festival (at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood) on October 22 at 4pm. I'm not sure how much tickets cost yet, but we think that they'll be in the $10 range. I do know you'll be able to buy them online through Arclight, so that's cool.

As an interesting side-note, there are a lot of theater-people involved in this film:
Allison Munn starred as "Luisa" in The Fantasticks at New York's Sullivan Street Theatre for more than 500 performances as well as performing in The Wild Party at the prestigious Manhattan Theatre Club.
KW Miller is currently on the national tour of Wicked.
Joe Peracchio is the founder and artistic director of the Tricklock Theatre Company in Albuquerque, NM, whose current original production, The Glorious and Bloodthirsty Billy the Kid-The Greatest Serial Killer of Our Time! A Wild West Show and Cabaret, has been touring the world to rave reviews.
Dierdre O'Connell has appeared on Broadway in The Front Page and Salome, as well as many Off-Broadway productions.
I make my living primarily from my work as an Equity actor here in LA. (I just finished a 3-month run as "Dorothy Brock" in 42nd Street at the Welk Resort Theatre in San Diego.)
Yay, Erika! :D I hope I get a chance to see it because it looks pretty cool.
