-MAKING MOVIES-

As you probably already know, I love acting. And I know most girls my age want to be an actress too. But I don't want to act for the fame and recognition, I want to act because I really and truly enjoy acting.
Recently my brothers and I made our own movie (with much begging on my part), and then later our two cousins also came for a second movie. I was a director, costume designer, props manager, organizer, location scout and actress all in one! Whew!  It was hard work (especially when my brothers basically quit halfway through). But we got there and I think they're pretty good. Here are some photos.

Unfortunately I can't post the actual movie. Last year I also joined the Homeschool Dramatix Group which is SO awesome!!! This year we are doing The Pilgrims Progress as our production and the auditions for the characters are on Saturday. I'm excited and nervous because it's my first time auditioning (I missed them last year) but I'm really hoping I get my favourite part; either Faithful or Hope.
So if anyone is thinking of joining a drama group or making a movie, I would definitely recommend it, especially my homeschool drama group!!
