So I’m working on the press kit for Dancing With Gaia, and sent out some interview stuff for the actors/crew so that I could have some material.
I got so much funny stuff back that I can’t use…but some of it just kills me. So I’m sharing it with you here:
All of my film experiences have been positive, but I also screen projects well before I commit to anything. Projects I’ve turned down include one for a guy who wanted me to play a modern-day Little Red Riding Hood who gets stripped naked, tied to her grandmother’s kitchen table and eaten alive by the Wolf and another film where a ‘director’ wanted to know how many black leather fetish outfits I owned to use as costumes for his sci-fi, sex-fantasy flick involving space hookers. I told them both, as the great Merryl Streep once said, “No, thanks. I sell my acting, not my ass.” To which they replied, “Oh no, you must’ve misunderstood; we weren’t planning on paying you.

“Dancing with Gaia” is about the swing dance troupe that shouldn’t.
— Kitty Mortland, “Emily”
I’m just waiting for Matt and Dallas to contact me with the script for “Flying and Failing: The Mike Wellington Story”.
— Fuzzy Gerdes, “Mike Wellington”
I thrive on working with people who are creative, talented artists in addition to being organized, professional, business-minded individuals who are just good people. Matt & Dallas are very much all of these things and they work very well together. In fact, I heard that Dallas was thinking of changing his name to ‘Ben’ just so they could submit stuff as “Matt and Ben” and perhaps get some publicity thru tabloids raising questions about what kind of relationship they really have behind the scenes.

(I had to put in both by Wilding because she’s freakin’ hilarious)
