MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

I've tried to think of the perfect way to say this, but I think I'll just blurt it out, all excited-like. Since I am completely head-over-heels excited.

I AM GOING TO BE IN A MOVIE. MY FIRST FEATURE FILM EVER.

THE CAST AND CREW (myself included, obvi) WILL BE FLOWN OUT TO KENTUCKY IN JULY TO SHOOT ON LOCATION.

THE MOVIE WILL BE DIRECTED BY GLENN WITHROW. IT'S GOING TO STAR HALLIE TODD (!!!) AND MYSELF WITH A GROUP OF OTHER GIRLS. If you've been reading this blog for awhile, you'll know that those are two of my favorite people (and heroes/mentors) on EARTH.

THE MOVIE IS CALLED "THE MOORING" AND IT'S A HORROR-THRILLER.

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE MOST EXCITING THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME, and I am feeling so blessed and amazed and INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY EXCITED. Saying I'm excited is like saying Johnny Depp is a good actor. UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY.

Also, I've known about this but haven't been able to tell anybody for over two months. Which has been killer, although a good test of my secret-keeping skills, which apparently rock.

If you want MORE INFORMATION (of course you do!), here is a press release and here is the official website and myspace, facebook and twitter pages. Become a friend/follower/what-have-you.
