About Me

myspace layouts

The road to true love is never easy, especially when the handsome prince finally shows up and the princess is already married!
Opening the B&B is a great way to keep her grandmothers house, but Clara, (Brittany Joyner, Hot Date ) is young, single and pretty. When her nosy neighbor ladies find our her first guest is a male executive coming to stay for a month on business, they freak out and persuade her to make up a fake husband to 'protect her from unscrupulous men'.
She poses with Marty, (Stephen Brodie, A House Divided) and creates "the significant other" by placing pictures of them around the house and sporting a rock the size of Texas.
It doesn't take Clara long to realize that until she actually gets married she is stuck living a lie and so she starts Internet dating, which is a disaster, and if that's not enough, that male executive, Rick, (Donny Boaz, The Great Debaters ) is gorgeous and single and they are instantly attracted, but he thinks sheâ€™s married.
Clara doesnâ€™t know how to tell him sheâ€™s not married, and then one evening Rick runs into her 'husband' with his male lover, and all heck breaks loose. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX

THAT'S A WRAP!!!! I can't believe we are done shooting. It seemed at times like we would never finish and yet here we are moving off into the world of post production. The wrap party was too much fun and I am so glad that alot of people made it out. Those that didn't may find it hard to believe, given the photos, but you were missed! Photos compliments of Sandra; thanks for taking so many great pictures of the party!!!

Movies:

Ronnie Brazeal of Lucid Post, a division of MPS Studios, here in Dallas has agreed to handle the editing and color correction of TSO. They will be doing the final cut on AVID and using their magic to make our HDV movie look like it shot on film. I can't wait to see it. You can check the out at www.lucidpost.com

DRM/Sir Reel Sound is taking on our sound. David Rosenblad and Kevin Brown are going to make us sound amazing. Of course, that means looping most if not all the movie, but it will be worth it. You can check them out at www.drmprod.com

Many Thanks to the local Gainesville area for all the support and help. Evreyone there has been so gracious and nice. Gainesville is a wonderful place to chase a dream. The entire town has been so supportive in every way.
Miss Olivia's Bed & Breakfast and the Historic South Gainesville Association allowed us to film during their wonderful Victorian Holiday event. The Pub, Anjanette's Choloate & Cafe' Shop, and Sarah's on The Square have allowed us to film there. Not only are these great locations to shoot in, but they are great places to EAT in... =-)
