Hi Everyone,
My name is Sara Rod and I was born and raised in Beaumont, TX along with my three sisters. I attended Kelly Catholic High School before going to college at Texas A&M University where I major in Biomedical Science, in hopes of becoming a Veterinarian.
I have always had a love for theatre, drama, and especially music. In highschool I was apart of the musical theatre comedy My Fair Lady, put on by the school's choral department. I also took part in theatre and choir throughout highschool.
As far as hobbies go, I love every type of sport, especially water sports! I also volunteer at the hospital.
Have Fun and if anyone would like to learn more or contact me online, please go to my facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1516410065&ref=ts.

A Message from Kristyn
Hey There,
My name is Kristyn Elyse and I will be taking on the role of Marcia, for the upcoming short film "Meet me in the Park". Ever since I was a little girl, acting has always been a passion of mine. Whether, it was by participating in the local theater or making my own home made talk show with my mother's video camera.
I was born in 1985 and raised by my mother in Port Arthur, Texas. I started acting in small roles in plays for my local theater like: Cinderella, Peter Pan, and The Poor Little Rich Girl. However, it wasn't until I was about thirteen, when I realized that being in front of the camera was where I wanted to be. I auditioned for a commercial for my local mall, and luckily, I landed the leading role. With this, I was able to get my first taste of working on camera; and have been hooked ever since.
Throughout high school, I was very active in my school's speech team. I competed in state division for serious and comedic prose. In 2001, I was given a part as a featured extra for an independent film called "Vince Del Rio", shot in Austin, Texas. That was my first time on an actual movie set and I enjoyed seeing a film being made from behind the scenes. I couldn't wait to possibly make this into a career, following graduation.
Unfortunately, it has taken a few years and several "life-stepping stones", to get me to a point in my life where I could pursue acting again. I am super siked about portraying Marcia in the short film. I feel that she is the perfect character for me to play on my short film debut. I've already learned so much and we've only had two rehearsals.
Brad (the director) has been great at explaining what his vision is for the film and I have enjoyed working with him! It will be great to see Marina's screenplay to finally come alive. This will be a great experience and I can not wait to begin filming.
Best Wishes,
Kristyn Elyse

What a month!
Hi,
May has been a fruitful month. We've held three more auditions since the first one that I reported and we are finding some excellent talent city-wide. Rehearsals are going well. I am so proud of these young actors as we work together toward our first day of shooting. We're still scheduling locations. Once we lock some dates in at our locations, we'll post the shooting schedule and our actors will be able to zero in and prepare for their day in front of the lens.
Speaking of lenses, Randy, our Director of Photography has an exceptional camera rig. He uses a Panasonic HVX200 with a Red Rock M2 lens adapter with 35mm Nikon lenses. We will be able to create an excellent Broadcast Quality picture with that set up. The M2 allows us to further exploit the language of the cinema and 35mm motion picture production.
The HVX can be used without a tape and will record at a higher resolution and color depth to solid state P2 cards than other "high-definition" cameras. You see, there are several high-resolution formats and the HVX is a good choice due to it's solid state recording technology and it's variable frame rates. It's a solid package.
That reminds me. I really should get a bio from Randy.
Talk to you later,
Brad Ferrell

Shooting Schedule
Hi,
There is another production, Blur, I am involved in and we have been auditioning these last two weekends for it and I have been busy. I do have some photographs coming up from the rehearsals, so look for those here.
I have completed a Shooting Schedule. On my shooting schedule I ordered the scenes first by location, then taking into account which actors we would be using, by actor. This gave me a chronographic view of any day for any location which I could use to schedule the shooting of the film.
With this film, I am expected to use 8 or 9 extras and there is no need to hold up 9 extras waiting to shoot 20 shots, for a 6 shot sequence with 2 actors in it.
When I found I have too many shots at one location, we split the shoot into a two-day shoot to make things easier for us on set.
It's funny. On the one hand, you have all of these charts and schedules and technologies and on the other the film is a work of art. Making a film is a real challenge, especially if it's of any length. The more you have to shoot, the more you have to plan, schedule and accomodate.
Now, I've got some wardrobe decisions to make and I need to discuss a lighting strategy with the DP. More rehearsals too. I like to get everyone ready to shoot before we even set a camera up.
Best,
Brad Ferrell
