BEHIND THE SCENES: THE HIGHER GROUND.

I had to go to a meeting in my {director} friend’s house. Why? Because I had to meet the crew I’ll be working with. Yes, working with. The Higher Ground is a short film my friend directed and I’m in it. I’m actually the leading actress for this short film.

I didn’t plan to be part of this short film. I was actually forced by my friend to audition for it. I didn’t expect at all for me to get the part but I did. This opportunity was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and when I found out I got the part I just couldn’t believe it. I never acted in my whole life but the producer and the director found ‘potential’ in me.

I’ve always dreamed of being an actress one day and I think this was an opportunity for me to challenge myself and see for myself if I’ve the got the skills for it. Haha. 

We actually finished taping last Tuesday. Those 4 days (Saturday to Tuesday: January 7-10) of taping were really great. I never experienced those rush of feelings in my whole life, the feeling that I have to internalize a different character; that experience was just life changing. (Yes, life changing. I know it sounds so dramatic but it’s true for me. Haha.) I actually realized that I really did like ‘acting’ and I want it as my future job. Hopefully one day, I’ll be able to make it big! :)

While they were taping a scene that didn’t need my weird face to be in it, I found myself taking photos of random things around the place. This is what I got, pretty right? ♥

That’s about it! Surprised to find out I was part of a short film? Haha. Don’t worry, surprised myself too. Hihi. I’ll be posting more ‘behind the scenes’ of The Higher Ground soon! ;)
