On The Brink Productions

Earlier this year, my husband, Garland Brinkley and I formed OnThe Brink Productions.  We are co-managers of our new venture.  We have one project in the can already.  It was my husband's final project for his film class.  "Creepy Sleepy" is the first in a three part series in the horror genre.  

We have decided to shoot a clip for both of our reels.  This will be a very emotional piece. We plan to complete filming by the end of summer.  We are looking for a location and a crew.

More exciting things to follow.

New Project

I just finished my first SAG film, Bitter Melon, written and directed by H.P. Mendoza.  Yes, my first SAG film with a signed contract, three day shoot schedule and an actual role.  I play the role of Louise, best friend of the mother, Prissca.  I had a lot of fun, even though the last two shoot dates were filmed in over 100 degree weather in San Francisco.  

I was excited to work on this project, as the director reached out to be and asked if I would be willing to audition for the role.  Well, one thing led to another and I was cast as Louise.

I look forward to the primere, probably next year.  This is just the beginnig of my film career.

 

Update - my role has been cut.  Oh well, that's show business!

Taking Advantage of Opportunities

Today's time on set was both exciting, rewarding and informative.  I was the stand-in for the charcter played by Ajiona Alexus.  The other actor who was the stand-in for the Derek Luke was quite knowledgeable and gave me a few tips for any future stand-in work I may do.  I was given a bump for being a stand-in and I gained valuable experience.  What more could any actor ask for?  I'm very appreciative for having been selected today for this particular episode and for the information and experience I gained.

SAG

Well, it's official as of October 28, 2016, I am a member of SAG - San Francisco - Northern California Chapter.  So excited.

Was booked for a four day shoot as SAG talent on 13 Reasons Why.  On the second day, a SAG rep came on set.  Was nice to meet him and hear of all the new projects expected to be filmed in the Bay Area after the first of the year.  That would also include the Hulu series, Chance.

My last day of filming on the series is also the last day of filming.  That should be a very eventful day.

Keeping Busy, Moving Forward

This past week was very busy  eventful.  I booked three projects.  Monday, I worked on 113 Reasons Why for the third time and received SAG pay for the past two episodes.  Wednesday, my daughter and I were paid audience members at LinedIn for the Two Minute Talk presentations.  Friday, I was cast to play the role of Officer Barbara Stokes on Dwight Taylor's film, Family Services.

Earlier on Friday, I completed my video audition and application for the CBS Drama Diversity Casting Initiative.  We shall see whether or not I receive a call back to audition in person in San Francisco, CA.

Also, I finally decided to join SAG.  I completed my membership application and am now waiting to receive my membership card.

Keeping busy and moving forward.  Can't wait to see what's in store for me now.

Family Services

Yay! Patricia Brinkley has joined our cast. I feel really great that she's part of my last short cause she was there when I first picked up a camera and said I want to make scary movies. Can't wait to see her join the rest of the cast on set investigating the dark and sinister.

Finally Mom! (inside joke)

When it Rains, it Pours!

It is either feast or famine in this business.  July has been quite a slow month for me.  As July closes, things seem to be picking up for August.

I have an audition on August 1st at Beau Bonneau Casting for a commerical.  Then on Tuesday and Wednesday, I will be part of the Xfinity commercial.  Saturday, I have an audition for a project, Checking out the Allens, for a day player role.  Extremely excited about all the opportunities that come at once.

On another note, my photos from my time as a Standardized Patient were perused by a television news reporter.  She wanted to use my photos in her story on domestic violence.  Even though the photos are on my website, I declined her offer to show them on television as part of her report.  The reason why I did not consent to the use of my photos was that some people do not understand what they see or hear.  I did not want that image out there implying that I personally was a victim of domestic violence.  Well, at least my website is being seen by people who want to utilize my image.

June Will be Full of Excitment

June 2016 will be full of excitment.  First, I've been cast for another PSA in Los Angeles.  Looking forward to shooting this project.

Next, I was cast to play a Judge in the film "Dr. Castillo".  I had submitted a self taped audition.  Didn't hear back and thought I did not get the part. Yesterday, I received a call and a text asking me if I was still interested in the project.  "Yes, indeed"! I responded.

For the past several weeks I've been working on a pilot for a reality webseries.  We'll see how that goes.  

Can't wait to see what other projects I get cast in for the rest of the month.

A New Attitude

The best two weeks have been a learning experience.  Aren't we suppose to learn from our experiences?

Three weeks ago,I missed out on a shoot, were casting contacted me directly to appear without an audition.  But due to my court cases, I was unable to make it for the shoot.

Two weeks it was an audition in Culver City for a nationally televised show.  Audition went well but I had informed casting that I was not avaialable the for the shoot dates for the rest of that week.

Later that day I received 2 calls from casting.  Unfortunately, my ringer was off and missed both calls.  No message was left but I did return the calls. However, as I do not know who had called, I was unable to be connected to the caller.

Then over night I receive a text about a shoot the next day.  Again, unfortunately, I was 40 miles away from LA and could not get there by the time they specified.  That cost me an appearance in a shoot for a network pilot.  Ugh!

Finally, something good happened.  I booked a gig on the show I had auditioned for.  I drove down on Wednesday for a Thursday shoot.  It was so wonderful walking up to the studio, having my name on a list and ushered into the studio.  There was food waiting but I was immediately escorted to hair and makeup.  Then the wardrobe checked out my attire.  Rehearsal witht he producer.  Finally, the shoot.  I was a little nervous/anxious in the beginning but it got better from there.

Can't wait to see the eposidoe.  Will keep you posted.

Welcome Spring

Well, the first two months were very slow acting wise.  It was not until February 27th that I booked my first project of 2016.  Tht project was a video for AARP entitled Pacific Coast Highway.  The spot was filmed on the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz.  I had the pleasure of working with Duncan Heath who was cast as my husband.

Then along comes March.  It starting to heat up and get very busy.  Tomorrow working on a commercial for Galvin Appliance.  Friday, I will be working in Mountain View for LinkedIn, both Garland and I will participate as audience members.  Then on Sunday, I will have two scenes in the film, Campaign' where I will play the role of Aunt Helen.

However, the best will be next week.  Tuesday I have been cast for a role in a PSA for Cancer Awareness and Research.  With this project, I think I have hit the trifecta.  One, cast off my photo without an audition.  Two, when I submitted the project was originally to be a non-union, miminal pay project.  However, I received word that the project is not SAG.  Third, I will get a Taft-Hartley and thereafter will be SAG eligible.  What more could any actor ask for.

Finally, I submitted for a project for one role and the director contacted me and requested that I submit an audition for two roles.

Right now things are heating up.  I waited almost eights weeks before I got back in front of the camera.  Keep the faith and never give up.  I'm a prime example.

Exciting Times

This Fall should be an exciting time.  Continuing my work as Levondia on the film, Streets, The movie.  Hoping to wrap my role in that production by the end of the year.  Booked a project with NITA.  I worked for them last year and was asked to repeat my performance from last year.  Booked a project for this Friday, as an auidience member.  Still waiting to hear about several other submissions for early October.

Streets, The Movie

Had a wonderful day on the set of Streets, The Movie directed by John Kenneth Wagoner.  This project has had a few set backs but keeps rolling onward. Yesterday's shoot involved my character, Levondia, Jimmy and Lawrence.  A little background, Levondia and Jimmy live on the streets.  Jimmy is extremely ill and needs a warm, safe place to recuperate.  Lawrence takes a liking to Lavondia and proposed that she and Jimmy move in with him in exchange for a little companionship from Levondia.

Some scenes yesterday were intense.  While others were very tender.  

Preston Collier plays Jimmy and Mark Nemmers plays Lawrence.  Thanks to our soundman, Mark Lourim.

Great cast and wonderful crew.  Looking forward to next weekend's shoot.

Excited About 2015

Well, it took 58 days before I booked my first acting gig of 2015.  I will shoot a corporate video on 3/6/15 playing the role of a property manager.  I'm excited to get back to acting.  It's not that I wasn't submitting on gigs, but the last 58 days there were court appearances and travel that took priority over acting.  Now, I can devote more time to my passion.

Also on this date, the premiere of my episode of Sex Sent Me To The Slammer - Gettin' Some Tail/Unholy Trinity.  It was a fun and whimsical episode which I thoroughly enjoy, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF3Zww0HUeg.  The trailer was powerful.  Can't wait to get back on set to finish my scenes.  

Now, hello March!

Premiere of Predatory Lender

Cast, crew, family and friends were treated to the world premiere of Predatory Lender on November 1, 2014 at the Downtown Fairfield Theater.  And what a treat it was!  I was able to walk the red carpet and take pictures with other cast members, friends and family.  

It's such a feeling to see one's self up on the big screen.  Not many people get that opportunity.  My role of Charlene, FBI supervisor ,was just two scenes.  But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a small role, only small actors.  

Nothing but fun and good times were had by all.  

I look forward to my next premiere.

When One Door Closes...

It has taken me about ten days to come to terms with a recent disappointment.  But now I can put the entire situation in perspective.

You cannot be thin skinned in this business.  Most of the time, it's not about you but rather about reasonable business decisions that must be made.  However, sometimes you can't help feeling disappointed about the way some situations shake out.

Case in point, you're cast to play a role in a feature film.  You get your shoot day and you then organize the rest of your month around the shoot date.  Then out of the blue, you hear that you were given the wrong shoot dates.  It's not as if I can reschedule my August calendar.  I relied upon that date to set other matters, both personal and professional.

Unfortunately, I was not available for the correct shoot date, as previously mentioned, I scheduled everything around the wrong date that was given to me.  Therefore, within 24 hours of learning of the wrong date, the director was unwilling to reschedule the shoot to a more conveient date and I was replaced in the production.

It's tough sometime to remember when one door closes, another one opens.

June Went Out with a Roar

Today's June 29th.  This has been an usually busy month.  Not complaining but totally enjoying the attention my work is getting.

Over the past two weeks, I've done a photo shoot in Reno for Cardia Care with Renown.  A fun, long shoot.   The shoot was only one day, but a hotel room was reserved and all meals were covered.

Next, I had a table read for the upcoming film, Stripes, The Movie.  My role is Geraldine Black, mother of Joe Black, one of the many love interest of the lead character, Tami.  Filming to start in early August.

That was followed up with a role on Sex Landed Me in the Slammer.  I play the role of the grocery store manager who observes something unusual in a car in the parking lot.

Last night I brought my daughter with me, as we were extras in a Billie Jean Music Video.  The final version should be fun to watch.

Today, I had an audition for Meeting Moma.  I was cast to play the role of Mama, a woman who has not seen her daughter in over 20 years and who also cannot stay clean for long.

Finally, in chatting with a filmmaker, he asked me to play the role of a news reporter for the trailer to obtain funds for the feature project.

I am so excited about all of these opportunities.  I look forward to the various roles and working with some new and other familiar cast and crew.

Let's hope July is equally as busy.

Summer acting gigs.

June is starting out to be a very busy month.  Just received written confirmation that I will be playing the role of Geraldine Black, mother of the lead character, Joe Black in the feature film, Stripes, The Movie.  I get to work again with the very talented and creative director, Jacalyn Evone.  A table read is set for later this month.

Last weekend I shot the film, The Bishop directed by Farah Dews.  In the film, I play the role of the Bishop's wife.  I thought that I would be a background player.  However, I was featured and given a few lines.  What a great cast and crew.  Many familiar faces, Lind Henry, Big Spence, Ken Thrift and Eric Bendross.  I can't forget Alicia Hope Alexander the Producer who cast me in the role.

Next week an audition for a feature film as the Principal, Martha Rutherford, in the film, Talk is Cheap.  Looking forward to broadening my acting skills.

Just received an email inviting me to audition for a PSA.

I can't wait to see what else is in store for me in the month of June.  I am blessed and excited!

Interesting Week

Both films are paid projects.  

Tomorrow, I'm cast as one of the parents in a project for Rocket Media Labs.

Streets Audition

I auditioned for the role of LeVondia for the film Streets.  This was an excellent opportunity, as the director contacted me directly to audition for this role.  After reading the script, I was excited to audition for this part.  I have never played a role like this before.  I've always wanted to expand the roles that I usually play.

This film is about a homeless woman caught up in an interracial love triangle.  I've worked with G. August Koeppel before on the film, Nothing Left which will be released on dvd this spring.  G. August plays the role of Jimmy.  I just met Mark Nemmers at the audition.  He's a wonderful actor.  He plays the role of Lawrence.

The link to my audition is below.  I was deeply encouraged by the comments from both the director and Mark Nemmers.

The whole auditioning process went very well.  I got the part, received excellent advice and critique.  My resolve to pursue acting has been rejuvenated.   I am stoked about this project.

Enjoy!

Great Start to a New Week

This is only Monday, January 21, 2013, but the week is already off to a great start.

First, received a call that I've booked a role in a film, to be shoot in the Los Angeles area, the end of February.  What's great about this role, is I did not have to audition.  I was cast solely from my headshot and reel.  Now, that's what I'm talking about.  It's a paid role.  I will play the role of the lead's mother.  Type casting.  Isn't it great!

Second, I will be on the set tomorrow for "Randy to the Rescue" on TLC.  I play one of a few friends out enjoying the experience of helping a bride to be select her wedding dress.

Third, on Thursday, I get to seat in with an improv group which may lead to a re-ocurring role.

Finally, on Saturday, I get to audition for a lead role for a student thesis film.  This is interesting, as it is for the role of a very well respected American citizen who has held a very high political position in a previous administration.  I'm researching the character and look forward to the audition.

I love what I do.  I wish I could do it more often.

There was the music video last week. 

Tis week three auditions/go-sees and a  booking for Monday.  In addition, two commercials I shot recently are airing, Credit Karma and Oakland Accura.  It's just a wonderful feeling for people to say, "I saw you in a commercial".

I am truly blessed to be working in this industry and thank God every day for the opportunities that are bestowed upon me.

This is going to be a great year!  Welcome, 2013!

It Pays to Network

On October 5, 2012, I attended the Urban Film Summit sponsored by the California Film Foundation.  It was an evening of information and socializing.  I saw many familiar faces and met a few new contacts.  One new contact was, Pleshette Robertson, of the Sacramento Cultural Hub.  She was also one of  the guest speakers.  Her topic - Marketing and Branding.

She emphasized the importance of having a strong Social Media presence.  Social Media includes the following:

Website

Facebook - Fan Page

Twitter

LinkedIn

I was able to check all of the aformentioned Social Media sites off my list, as I am active on all.

I spoke to Ms. Robertson about my Social Media presence and my efforts to date to market and brand myself.

Later that evening I added all of my new contacts as friends on Facebook.  I sent Ms. Robertson a follow-up email with a link to my website.  The next morning I received a response  from her and an offer to profile me in the Winter/January 2013 issue of the Sacramento Cultural Hub.

If you want to advance your career, you have to network.  Always carry your business card with you, always.  Do not leave home without them.  Don't be shy.  Introduce yourself to as many new people, as possible.  Also, stay in contact with people with whom you have already established relationships. 

Remember, it is not always about what you know, but who you know, that advances your career.

The Next Step

September is ending on a strong high note.  Friday marked a new stage in my acting career.  I signed with Marla Dell Talent Agency.  The possibilities are endless.  Marla Dell Talent Agency or MDT, as they are known, has on-camera, print and fit modeling divisions.  They are well respected in the industry.

Tomorrow two auditions.  The first is for the pilot episode of a reality show.  The second is for WAN as the mother of the character who has a mysterious growth of fingernails all over her body. 

I am blessed and fortunate to be able to pursue an acting/modeling career at this stage of life.  How many people get a second chance to pursue the dreams of their youth?  I am very positive about this new agent/talent relationship.  Stay tuned, the sky is the limit.

Patricia's Adventures

This has been one very busy week.  

My road trip to Los Angeles.  At first I was reluctant to make the drive.  But I did it without any problems on the way down.  I had enough time to stop several times, the last to change clothes before my fitting at the Culver Studios for the Ricki Lake Show.  The next day was the filming.  IIt was fantastic.  The experience was everything you would think it would be.  I wore a Classic outfit, stylish trench coat, blue and white stripe top, wide leg jeans and wedge platforms.  Accessorized with dark sunglasses, gold chain chocker and gold watch.  For a moment, we thought we would be rewarded with the outfits we wore, but as it turned out, that was not meant to be.  I will post the air date which is set for some time in October.

The drive back was a little hectic.  In my efforts to get back in time to nap before my evening shoot, I unfortunately received a speeding ticket.  Enough said about that.   Don't want to dwell on anything negative. 

Speaking of the evening shoot, it was fantastic!  Where else can you get paid to eat, drink and be merry.  The food was  beyond delicious.  I got to work with a wonderful cast and crew.  I knew two of my cast mates and made friends with the others.  I can't wait to see the final cut.

Unfortunately, had to pass on a project for Thursday for Container Wars.  I do have to devote some time to my legal practice.  

Meeting on Friday regarding the audition for a reality show.  Will keep you posted on that opportunity.  The audition for this is set for next Sunday.  Have to find a very trendy outfit to wear which will reflects my "winning"personaility and fashion style.

I have an audition for World's Astonishing News on Saturday for the role of the mother that faked her daughter's death so that she could extend her vacation.  Also, booked projects for Sunday and Monday.  Have my follow up interview with Marla Dell on Tuesday.  I like being busy doing something I love.

I'm enjoying this wonderful experience.  I feel very blessed to be in this situation.  I am anxiously looking towards the future.  Things seem to be happening for me.  I plan to be in a position to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.

Stay tuned.

The week of September 17, 2012 plans to be a very exciting one.

First, I jbooked my first LA gig to appear on The Ricki Lake Show.  I will appear in a fashion show using "real" professional women.   

Second, this will be a quick turn around trip, as I'm booked to appear in a local San Francisco SteakHouse commercial later that day.  

Third, a follow-up interview with a potential new agent.

Fourth, later this month, an audition for the pilot for a reality show.

Don't want to forget my audition today for the role of Abigail, the bureaucratic angel, in the film A Life Altering Death.

Dream big and big things will happen.

No on The Soda Tax

Worked on a campaign video today opposing the Soda Tax in Richmond, California.  

This was one of those shoots when you arrive so don't see any familiar faces.  However, you network and find out that you have mutual Facebook friends.

This was an early shoot with a call time of 5:00 am, but it was a relatively short shoot.  We wrapped at 9:30 am.  Credit to cast and crew for a productive shoot.

Unfortunately, this video will only be shown at the Cinemark Theater at the Hilltop Mall and in a theater in Los Angeles.
