Coming to a Wrap

Today we will begin the final day of filming for Cull. After what seems like a lifetime of being on the set (only 3 weeks really), we will finally be able to move on to the Editing process. As is the case for all productions, it is a bittersweet feeling. While I will be happy to return to my normal life, see my friends (whom I've neglected so much!), and start working once again, I will sorely miss these days of being on set. After having the chance to work on a movie of this caliber, I can say with a certainty that this is what I want to do with my life! Though I fear the strain that this lifestyle will put on my friends, family, and loved ones, I hope and pray that they will stick by me, and accept this as a part of me. I don't think I ever fully realized what a life in movies really entailed; the amount of time spent away, the work, sweat, and tears, and not to mention the long hours. But I don't think I can give it up.

I can live my dream.
I will live my dream.

Giddy Moment

Two things: One I realized that I forgot to give a heartfelt thanks to my bosses, Greg and Sandi, at Eden Alley for allowing me to take 3 weeks off to do this movie. You guys really are some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure to work for!

Secondly: I discovered today that I have an IMDB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How phenomenally amazing is that! I know, I know, it's not that big of a deal, everyone has one, but it's a milestone for me! Check it out, Davis Michels on IMDB.

When Dreams Come True

It's an amazing thing when you realize that your Dreams are beginning to come true. This month has brought it's own wonderful surprise. I am currently working on a film Cull, not only as an actor, but as the Assistant Director! No, I'm not starring in this one, but I do have a couple scenes and a few lines, and I'm AD! I never realized quite how awesome that could be! Thanks once again to Don Baldwin, Director of Master's Class, for giving me the opportunity to move forward with my life dream and goal!

The Movie is a dark comedy about 2 female serial killers, Victoria and Claudette. I play Jack, one of Victoria's coworkers at the post office. This has been quite a process. I've taken 3 weeks off work from Eden Alley to completely dedicate my time to the Movie. We have completed one week of filming, and have two more to go. The fun really is just starting. We have a wonderful cast and crew who work really well together, and we have incredible talent! Susan Traylor is playing Victoria, and Alex Farnham is playing Dell, Claudette's Love interest.

I'm so happy right now because this is happening. Even with all the stress and last minute changes, I'm doing whtat I love, and that is all that matters. I will keep everyone updated on the process, but no promises as to when because I am strapped for time!
