#31 Sundance/Evolution

Man this year has started off with a BANG!

Before I get started please check out the FORD FIESTA advertisement I am in! It is now airing as an ad on Hulu and hopefully will make it to TV! It's amazing! I can't wait to get my Fiesta back!

First things first... Sundance! I had the amazing opportunity to go to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. I had never been to this festival before and couldn't believe that LitPost was going to take me along for the ride! As I mentioned before LitPost had worked on 2 films that were headed to Sundance: "Frozen" and "The Perfect Host." For those of you who don't know Sundance takes place in Park City, Utah. When we arrived there I felt like I just walked into my mom's snow village that she puts out every Christmas.

It is definitely one of the cutest town's I have ever seen. Out of all the films I saw that week, I am still proud to say that the 2 we worked on were the best - and I would have no problem admitting defeat. There was a lot of competition and I wish I could have seen them all! While I was there I also was given a free L'Oreal makeover and was interviewed by The Sundance Channel. A day after I put up this blog the GM of the Sundance Channel had read my blog and found the L'Oreal advertisement that I was in! Anita, one of the producers, contacted me to with the link. They shared it with me so I get to share it with you! Here it is!

I went to plenty of films, but I soon found out that Sundance is one of the greatest spots for networking. I'm sure people go there just for the parties! The party atmosphere was nonstop and around the clock! Lucky for us we had no problem getting into some of the hottest spots! Each event was completely different which made it that more fun! I didn't have to pay for a drink the whole trip because it was all open bar. Some of the celebrities I saw at these parties: Orlando Bloom, America Ferrera, Adrian Brody, Gerard Butler, Kevin Connolly, Harvey Weinstein, and Elijah Wood.

After Sundance, Frozen was distributed by Anchor Bay Films to a limited number to theaters across the country. However, it did not do well enough to expand to more theaters. I was able to see it again on the big screen in LA. It was amazing to see my first on screen credit! That was one of the best feelings ever - which just verified my love for this business! Make sure you keep a look out for it when it comes out on DVD. It will definitely make you question your love for skiing! It is a really great film and I wish it would get the recognition it deserves!

When I came back from Sundance I was offered a job at Evolution Entertainment/Twisted Pictures. Evolution Entertainment is the management side of the company and Twisted Pictures is the production side! Twisted is best known for the SAW franchise! This company is vastly growing, which will allow me to learn and grow as well. I am filled with excitement about my new position, however I will miss the guys at LitPost. LitPost was a great first job to have out here in LA. I will forever be grateful for their kindness and guidance.

As for our production company, Little Spoon Productions just entered our first contest of the new year. FedEx is launching a new campaign called Think FedEx First and they reached out to the viewers to create videos with this theme. Our company created 2 campaigns for this idea.

You can easily connect to this website using facebook if you want to "Like" or comment on our content! We are thrilled with these spots that we have created and hope that FedEx likes them too! "All the Small Things" is #1 in popularity out of 153 entries! Wish us luck!

Hope you all had a happy and safe St. Patty's day! My first St. Patty's day in LA was filled with celebrity sitings! I ran into Chris Pine from StarTrek, Kevin Durand who plays Keamy on Lost, AND Mindy Kaling who plays Kelly Kapoor on "The Office!" All sorts of craziness on this green holiday!

Now that I'm all settled in my new job - I will be better at keeping up with my blog! Sorry to keep you waiting!

#23 MISSION 2

Alright guys so the Fiesta journey continues with this month being technology month.  I just posted my Fiesta Movement: Mission 2 which was to go 24 hours without technology.  CRAZYYY!  It's funny how dependent we all have become to our phones and computers.  It killed me not being able to check for emails or text messages!  This video is pretty fun and contains air guitar :)  Just a forewarning!  

Please watch it and if you could leave a comment and rating on Youtube that would be very helpful to boost my points.  Thank you!

Agent 100: Mission 2

I know that a lot of Ford employed people read my blog and want to know more about what I think about the car.  I would be happy to share my thoughts with you right now!

The car is super tiny and compact which makes it very easy to fit into tight parking spaces (especially living in LA where everything is parallel parking).  It is 40 miles to the gallon - insert gasp - everyone I tell that to always has a jaw drop or eye pop.  This is very awesome because I literally only have to stop and get gas once a month if I don't take a long trip somewhere.  I think this is amazing with gas prices the way they are.  The automotive industry needs to start taking these steps to help the economy and spare our precious natural resources.  

The stereo system in the Fiesta is fantastic!  I get to plug in my Ipod directly with only one cord.  This way I get to use my Ipod and still have the cigarette lighter outlet to plug in my phone charger or GPS.  This is a feature I'm fond of.  I am also very grateful that the car has blue tooth connection through the car.  It is illegal to drive while on the phone in LA so blue tooth capability is very important.

Another very cool feature is the rearview mirror... I know this might be confusing cause what could be cool about the rearview mirror?  Don't you hate it when you're driving at night and the person behind you has really bright headlights so it blinds you when you look in the rearview mirror?  Well the Fiesta's rearview mirror gets a special tint at night that drastically reduces the blinding light from other headlights - it creates a greenish tint.  It's a great, great feature that could prevent a lot of accidents.

The car also has automated window wipers that was convenient so you don't have to keep turning the speed up and down.  This was helpful while driving through rainy Seattle that chose to rain and stop every other minute!  Another cool feature is that the gas tank is cap-less.  There is a tiny little flap in the gas tank opening that lets the nozzle enter, but let no gas escape.  As I was writing about this car feature I asked my roommates what they thought the technical names were for the opening of the gas tank... and somehow we got to talking about male parts entering the female parts - I don't even know!  I thought it was funny and, as inappropriate as that is for this blog, I thought I'd share!

There isn't much about the car that I do not like, but I can list just a couple changes I would make.  I wish it wasn't turn knobs that adjusted the driver's and passenger seats.  They are hard to easily turn while driving.  I also think that the car needs arm rests and the handles that people can grab when they need to hold on - aka "Oh shit handles."  I think that those would be some good additions to the car.  If I think of anything else I will let you know!  But that's it for now!  

#16 A Fiesta Road Trip

Alright, I know you guys have been patient and you are all dying to see what my babygirl looks like... wait no longer!!!  TA DAAAAA!!!!!

Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever laid your eyes on?!  Yes, that's me and that's my car.  I've totally been rockin the stick shift by the way! So as you know I went to Seattle to pick her up and then was given my first mission "GO HOME ALREADY" which involved me taping my journey back down to LA.  The trip was quite beautiful. We stopped at a couple places along the way including the beach and a national redwood forest.  I had never seen a redwood tree before and wow are they big!  Check it out!

How crazy are those trees!  Stepping into that forest instantly overwhelmed us and filled us with this enchantment feeling.  It will make you want to "GO GREEN" to save these beautiful green giants.  We also stopped at a beach in Crescent City, California that made me feel like I was in the movie Castaway.  It was gorgeous!

So now I am back in LA.  I want to give you some sites to check out to keep updated with the Fiesta Movement and me as well!  I have a Twitter now so you can add me at My Twitter.

I also have a Flickr now where you can see all my pictures along my journeys My Flickr.

And most importantly you have to check out my agent page where all the fiesta lovin' goes on and it's here that you can go to help me boost my popularity and points.  The more views, comments, and ratings I get on my page, blog, and videos - the more points I get!  So help a girl out!!!  I'll let you know when I'm done editing my first mission!  But check out my page!

Thank you all for your support and let me know if you need a ride!!!

#5 FORD FIESTA

SO I JUST GOT A CALL BACK FOR THE FORD FIESTA CONTEST I ENTERED!!!! I am freaking out right now because I just entered the contest last night and I already received a call back!  I am a step closer to being a test driver for the new Ford Fiesta!!!  Please if you are reading my blog I need lots of subscribers to make a good impression for the contest!  I beg you to subscribe!  I promise I'll entertain you!  Thanks!!!

#4 Dancing with the Stars

So I had a great day today!  My feature treatment was one of the few selected to be "considered" in my class.  That basically means there is more of a chance of my movie being made over others who were "passed."  That was really exciting!  Then after my treatment meeting I jetted off to CBS Studios.  There I got to sit in the audience for Dancing with the Stars!!!  My chicago roommate's dad is the drummer and he got us tickets while she was in town.  It was an amazing show!  My favorite was Shawn Johnson the olympic gymnast - just cause she's so gosh darn cute! Also sitting in the audience was former winner Kristi Yamaguchi, football star Emmitt Smith, and singer Jewel cheering her hubby on!  While I was there I also crossed paths with Doris Roberts who played the mom on Everybody Loves Raymond and also Keeping up with the Kardashians Kris Jenner - the mother!  It was a pretty eventful day!  I finished the day with going to the Farmers Market.  

I entered a contest to become a test driver for the new Ford Fiesta and I need lots of people to view my video to increase my chances of winning!  So please check it out!!!

FIESTA!!!
