Great Days

Well yesterday I had two auditions. One was for a industrial video for Ambit Energy. There was a script and we had to read the one that fit us best. Mine was for a hockey mom type. There were several people a head of me so I was able to pretty much memorize it. It went pretty good the casting director said "very nice, thank you". So we will see what happens with that one. Next was an audition for the Dallas Bridal Show. I have worked with this company before and if picked I look forward to working with her again. It was nice though cause I got to see the new office of my manager. The place was awesome!!! Also got to talk with Lou about my training for the stunt and stage combat class that starts soon. Saw some friends that I haven't seen in awhile and it was good to catch up. Did some major industry talking with all the people that were there. Today met up with a friend that I haven't seen in a very long time and it was cool to talk with her. Called about "The Good Guys" cause they on Thurs. start the last episode (13) before they go on a 6 week break, (then when they come back will film another 7 episodes or more??) to see if they needed any CSI. Nope, was told to call back on Fri. for next week. I am so going to miss everyone for those 6 weeks. But I will more than likely be really busy cause "Chase" and "Lonestar" start right after "The Good Guys" start their break. Then it will be a toss up between t.v. shows, huh what a problem to have. I will be loyal to my CSI Engel and "The Good Guys" and always give them first dibs on me, lol. Its kinda funny saying it like that. As far as submissions to projects today I sent emails to 2 t.v. shows "True Jackson VP" and "Big Love", one feature film "Juke Box Hero", and one commercial. Also got the address to submit my information to t.v. show "Enlightened". So a very productive day!! I wanted to say I am going to make an extra effort to make sure and do this everyday or every other day. Also love all the comments keep them coming I like to answer them and also glad to see what you guys think. Keep your dreams alive and don't let anyone stop or slow you down!! It is what you believe and how you feel that determines you own self!! So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

"The Good Guys"

Wow it has been very crazy busy this last week. First off found out Mon. was going to be working on "The Good Guys" on Tues. and Thurs. which I was super excited about. Let's get started on all the good stuff that you all want to know about. On Tues. when I got there I was told that is was an off day because Bradley Whitford (Dan) was sick so they had to change the schedule some but today was going to be a lot of Diana Maria Riva (Lt. Ana Ruiz) and Jenny Wade (Liz Traynor). This episode "Common Enemies" is going to be awesome, it not only has action going on with the guys but the have another story going on with the ladies. Trust me the fellas are going to be loving this episode!! Tues. was police station and it was a great day got to Lt. Ruiz and Liz Traynor working it but saw the new female guest star who her name on the show is Zoe. Thurs. Bradley (Dan) was back and ready to go. At the police station again and got to meet another guest star that ends up ... Ok I don't know what to say but it this guys is a forensic specialist and you know how Dan feels about forensic. Now Fri. was the topping of the cake!!! Over the 3 days I was in some really cool places to be seen by camera but you never know if it will make it in the final shot. So we will see. But I did get picked to hand Joel Spence (Detective Hodges) while he was giving a speech to the whole police station. It was so awesome my heart was beating so fast. It was really cool we shoot the scene several times and I had to time when I gave him this paper, that made me nervous I walked in from off scene. It was funny one of the takes Colin and Bradley were making jokes about wind breakers and I started laughing and they were about to start filming. I was like breathe, breathe this was a serious scene and I couldn't have a smile on my face. Now I really can't wait for this episode. There is also only one more episode until the take a break for 6 weeks and then will be back to do 7 more!! Also talked with Mitch Engel (producer of "The Good Guys") again and I gave him one of my business cards telling him about my website when he told me he read my blog when I mentioned him. If you are reading this one Mitch it was great seeing you again. It was very cool that he read my blog. This crew and cast of "The Good Guys" are so incredible!! While on set also I got to talk to Kenny about joining a precision driving team that I will be joining for the Dallas area. Today I was suppose to do filming of "The Favor" and I was contacted last night while on set that the camera was still in the shop and they wouldn't have it for the filming so had to reschedule. Also have a tip for the day is more of a set term "Wild Line" which is when ever one freezes on set and the actor says a certain line in to the mic. They did one with Diana when she said "We've got a situation!" and also when I was leaving last night I heard them saying that as I was leaving the set. I haven't really had much time to submit to projects, with "The Good Guys" and family time. Am checking the usual spots and will submit did get the address to one project "Burn Notice" which is created by the same person who created "The Good Guys", Matt Nix. I have talked when him when he was asking me questions. I thought maybe he would remember talking with me and working me on the set of "The Good Guys" and may have a part for me, fingers-crossed. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

"The Favor"

Well it has been a crazy past couple days. Been submitting to several projects, sent out information to several different projects, and getting ready for "The Favor" which filmed yesterday almost all day. Filming of "The Favor" started with the laundry scene, which I was the only actor in that scene. It was interesting I got there at 7am and we shoot for 2 hours!! Me doing a sort of monolouge and folding laundry. They got tons of different angles and shoots. It was crazy hot in that laundry room at the apartment complex. Then it was on to the rest of the scenes. We shoot scene 2 which is when my character ends up saying she will grant her boyfriend a favor for ruining his beloved pants (yeah trust me it is hilarious) Then when we moved on the the next scene they wanted to shot one direction and then next they had a discussing about not moving the camera from that angle and just started to jump around from scene to scene. It was a little different than I ever had before cause it was unsure of what we got on each scene. I stayed until after 7pm so it was 12 hour day and came home. We tried to get it all done but were unable to finish. So I have more filming on next Sat. Going to be calling casting department for "The Good Guys" cause the last time I talked to them I was told that I maybe working this coming Wed. threw Fri. which would be awesome!! Today have sent out my information out to 3 projects in the area and 1 feature film outside the area. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

"Broken Seconds" Premiere

WOW!! Is all I can say. It turned out really awesome. The reactions were incredible, now here is to hoping the festivals feel the same way. After the film we had a Q & A session and the director called up the DP and then the composer and everyone was clapping normal. Then he called my name and the cheers and clapping were INCREDIBLE!! I was blushing when they all did that. I answered several questions and it was really cool to be up there and doing that. After it we were leaving and so many people wanted to talk to me and I was in Awww. I even signed my first autograph on the back of one of the tickets. It was cool. Hubby and I went with my manager and some of others to a restaurant near the theater. While there I had someone come up to me and ask me if I was in films and I was blushing big time. Everyone one was so nice to me and I felt so blessed to have worked on this project and to have such support. Today has been a relaxing day. Got 2 addresses for some projects: "The Gates" (t.v. show) and "The Girl With The Dragon Tatto" (feature film) which I will be sending out tomorrow. Also emailed stuff in for "The Glades" (t.v. show) for a new episode. Today I talked with a friend on facebook and he was telling me he didn't know what to do with his acting and modeling career. I asked him what he was doing and he said nothing. Well this plays in to the tip of the day. Same as I told him, if you do nothing, nothing will happen. You have to go out there, put yourself out there. Cause you wont find the right projects that you are made for, and you can learn from the wrong ones. I always take away something from everything, see every experience (even bad) as a way to learn and improve yourself. Hope this helps some. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Cool Day

Today has been a pretty cool day. Only 2 more days til premiere "Broken Seconds", EXCITING!! Worked on "The Favor" script, this is going to be an everyday thing and maybe even twice a day thing. Then got some emails about some upcoming projects. Sent emails to 3 projects: "Fringe", "Outlaw Country", and "Final Sale" (besides "Fringe" the others are movies). Then also got an address for role on an episode of "Mad Men". Just putting my stuff out there enough and something is going to catch it!! Checked the usual spots and did find one casting call for the 26th but I am suppose to be filming "The Favor". Here's to hoping that we get all the scenes done on the 19th (fingers-crossed). Got to play with the kids today which is always fun. They make me laugh so hard sometimes. Also today is another episode of "The Good Guys" YEA!!! I love Mondays!! Will be posting of pictures of where I am in the episode on website (www.jenniferbesser.com) either tomorrow or Wed. Okay tip of the day, put yourself out there. I am firm believer that if you put it out in the world enough it will come true!! And believe in yourself!! So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Good Days

Saturday had a audition for a film. It went pretty well and I got to meet up the director and the producer. I got a call from the producer today saying that I didn't get the part I auditioned for but he has 2 projects coming up that he would like me to be in so, that good. You never knows what can come out of auditions even if you don't land the part you can get other things if you make a good impression. Today was a fun day playing with the kids and really starting to make sure I all good with my script for "The Favor". Start filming on that one this Sat., and we are going to try to get as much done as possible. That means I must have the whole script down!! I will call casting group for "The Good Guys" on Wed. to see if they need me Fri. (fingers-crossed!) I have looked in the usual spots and found a couple local projects that I submitted for and look forward to anything extra that comes my way. Tomorrow "The Good Guys" is airing it's 3 episode and this is one of the episodes that I got to preview and it is hilarious!! This one though I am in the police station only and I go by really quick. I will post pictures of where I was probably on Tues. or Wed. Doubling up on my workout for the next couple months have a project that I am wanting to get and I have to be in tip top shape. Wednesday is the big premiere of "Broken Seconds" and man am I excited!! The director has already put it up for 6 festivals and looking forward to see how it does there. Also got an audition for a Bridal Fashion Show, these are always fun!! So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

"The Fun Room"

Today was the torture scenes for "The Fun Room". It was really a very interesting day. I was getting tortured so I had to be crying and frightened!! I think I did a pretty good job cause the director was like perfect and would change angles and not worry about getting more takes (which would mean I nailed it). First we went threw the scenes one just by myself than when Kris (bad guy) comes in and starts the torture. The writing was very demented!! It was frightening the device that he tortures me with and then he breaks my jaw with his hands!! Yeah, I know right. That is when we used some special effects make-up. It was cool cause Shelly had made a fake jaw that was going to be covered in a latex skin and then she blended that with my own skin with some more latex and silicone. It was cool she even put some blood under it to make it look like it was bleeding when it was being ripped off. I didn't get to see it but I am looking forward to seeing some of the stills from it. Also while I was there I got a call for an audition tomorrow for a role in an indie feature film (unknown name) that is shooting here in Dallas. I got 3 email address for some different projects that I submitted for: "The Glades" (t.v. show), "Seduction" and "Transplant" (feature films). Then I also talked with a friend of mine that will be teaching me some martial arts!! How cool is that. Just another thing that I can add to my resume. I am excited it will be 4 girls and we are going to be doing different fight things and different martial arts. There is tip of the day get a variety in training, all types not just acting class. The better you know your self and your body (physical training helps with this) the better actor you are. Other than the ones I sent out that I told you about didn't find anything else. So for now we shall see what tomorrow brings.

Good Days

The past few days have been kind of busy, mainly with family and doing stuff with the house. Been working on "The Fun Room" script for tomorrow, it is tough because it is very emotional (cause I am being tortured). I am pushing myself to do to the point of just crying. I don't want to bring on the water works full on til I get on set. It can also be very draining for me and the kidos are wondering why I am crying. Also talked with the casting company for "The Good Guys" and not needed right now, to check back with them on next Wed. Some of the stories just don't have anything for me to investigate. They did say they will be needing kids so that is curious?? Also one new thing today I realized I have comments on my last blogs. Didn't know and so I commented on some of them. Will be more diligent about checking for comments and replying to all you awesome readers. Got some new projects (feature films) that I will be submitting for: "Savanah", "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You", "Everybody Loves Whales", and "Mirror Images". I also sent emails out for 2 feature films: "Fright Night" and "House Of Last Things". Haven't found anything more locally but I am looking forward to "Chase" and "Lonestar" returning in July. Also added a new page to my website, www.jenniferbesser.com, of projects that I have done that aren't from film or t.v. that I have done. Even some projects that I have created myself. Which is one thing I have learned in acting class to be proactive not reactive. By making projects up and creating my own acting situations to show my versatility. There is a tip in those last few sentences, "BE PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVE!!" Also for a comment that was left a while ago about not giving up, Thank you all for your support and I will NEVER GIVE UP!! This is what I am meant to do!! So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Good Days

Well it has been a couple days since blogging. I have been doing some family time also preparing for upcoming filming of "The Fun Room" and "The Favor". For "The Fun Room" I was suppose to film today but got rescheduled for Friday, so that is just more time for getting ready for my torture scene!! Also I was checking out facebook today and found a promo on "The Good Girls of The Good Guys" from Youtube and I am in it at the beginning and the end. I was so excited to see that. Here is the link if you would like to check it out, http://bit.ly/d47Yl3 As far as projects there have been several that I have received that I sent my information to and also an address that I will send hard copies to. I will be finding out if I will be working on "The Good Guys" Thurs. or Fri. tomorrow. Also I updated my profile on the Dallas Image site. Added things to my website also. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Great News

It has been officially announced that "Broken Seconds" will have it's BIG PREMIERE ON JUNE 16th at 7:30 pm at the Angelika in Dallas, Texas. It will be invite only cause of limited seating. I am so excited to have this one premiere cause this is my first really big role as lead. Also it was a really awesome movie to make. Other than that today has been a pretty laid back day. Sent out headshot and resume to casting directors of "X-Men: First Class" and "Wilfred". So fingers-crossed on those. Also late last night got an email with information on submitting for "iCarly" which would be really funny cause my daughter loves "iCarly" and she would flip if I was on there. Didn't find much else on my usual spots. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

"The Good Guys"

Yesterday was filming on "The Good Guys". We were in the police station which is always fun (CSI lab upstairs, LOL). It was a really cool day, it was the first day shooting of episode 10 called "Vacations". It was cool cause I got to see all of the cast Colin Hanks (Jack), Bradley Whitford (Dan), Diana Maria Riva (Lt. Ruiz), and Jenny Wade (Liz). The wanted to do all of the police station scenes so it was a long day. Lt. Ruiz was up first doing some conversation on the phone scenes. It was very cool to see how they do those kinds of scenes. The writer Aaron Ginsburg did an awesome job with this episode. It is super funny and has some new characters. I got to see one that was let's just put it this way HUGE!! He was 7 ft. tall and really muscular!! WOW!! That is what all the women were saying!! Then it was time for Jack and Dan to be in Lt. Ruiz office as usual!! Those guys are always up to something, lol. Then they leave her office which means time for me to find my usual spot on the CSI stairs. I was having a blast everyone was in awesome moods and being their usual funny selves. I also got to talk to the crew guy, Streets, that Colin actually said is like Mario from the Mario Brothers game. Colin even has video on his twitter account of Streets dressed up and doing the Mario moves to the Nintendo music. Freaking funny!! I told Streets that was really cool of him to do that and he was like "this crew likes to have a good time". That is so the truth!! After lunch we were doing a scene and from one angle I would cross after a Hodgins (detective from show) would leave after talking to Jack and Dan. But this actually ends up being a really long scene with two different parts after Jack, Dan, and Hodgins split Jack and Dan meet up with Liz where Dan leaves Jack and Liz to talk. So this was a really cool scene to shoot. It not only had several different angles and takes but I got to do a suicide cross in front of the camera (being operated by my buddy Kenji, who I told not to run me over). It was a lot of fun, and I didn't end up getting run over!! During one of the takes though the director asked Bradley "to come quicker" and Bradley had the most funny expression and was like "I can do that". And standing like right next to him and he was kinda looking in my direction me and the wardrobe lady started to blush and bust up!!! And Colin being right there had to point it out that I was blushing, I was like "it was her" and I pointed to where the wardrobe lady was standing (what I didn't know was she was gone) and Colin said "who you talking about no one is there". Let me tell you I then turned a deeper red and I was getting really hot!! And I had to breathe cause we had to shoot the scene. FUN DAY!!! After that long scene we had one more scene were I was walking up behind Lt. Ruiz as she was making a phone call and walking around in the precinct. It was a 12 hour day which is not to bad but very fun. Also got to pet the infamous puppy of Brad's, she was just begging to be pet. Brad came up as I was petting her and we talked a little before he said to his puppy "you stay her" so he could go change for his scene. He is so nice, also heard from one of the stand-ins on set that Dan Stark is a ladies man on the show!! Looking forward to the next time I am on the show and I will be giving a much details with out giving to much, just enough!!!

The Fun Room

Well it has been a while since I have been able to blog. Something has been up with my computer. So time to catch up. First off have been submitting for stuff every day lately. Also have been crazy busy doing several projects. Right now have "The Favor" which will film on the 19th and 26th of June. "The Fun Room" which have started filming this one, have done several scenes with 2 major ones. The three scenes I have filmed already have been when I first knock on the wrong door. Then I had two scenes where I was already dead, one which show the aftermath of all of "Eddie's" (name of the bad guy) victims in one room. Then was a really weird one, I'll just say it was were "Eddie" was having a weird dream. To finish out "The Fun Room" I have filming on the 7th for the two torture scenes that I have. This is going to be an interesting day. Been reading threw my script of "The Favor", whats funny the bad guy from "The Fun Room" almost auditioned for "The Favor" which would mean in one film he would torture me and in the other is my boyfriend. "The Favor" is a very funny script and I have a feeling with be real fun to film. Did work on "The Good Guys" but will post on a different blog for that stuff. Putting my stuff together to send out for a role on "Wilfred" which is a t.v. show on FX. That would be very cool to get a part on that one. Also sending my stuff in for upcoming t.v. shows that are filming here in Dallas, "Chase" (by Jerry Burckheimer), "Lonestar" (used to be "Midland"), and Choas (a FOX production about spies). "Chase" and "Lonestar" filming in July (right after "The Good Guys" go on a break before coming back in end of Aug. beginning of Sept.) then "Choas" will be coming in the fall to start filming. I was on both pilots for "Chase" and "Lonestar" (aka "Midland") so I am hoping to get some really good parts on both of those. And "Choas" sounds really cool and that would be cool to get on. Maybe will be working on 4 t.v. shows by the end of 2010, fingers-crossed. I think I got everything, oh except I think I maybe taking a trip to LA soon...that's all I can say for now. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.
