She approached me with an idea to film a trailer for the release of her novel, I clearly jumped at the chance to play a really awesome character. Cannot reveal too much as I am sworn to publishing secrecy but I can post some inspiration photos ill be using to get into character.

Oh Lana
I first discovered this haunting beauty when I was looking for the perfect song to use in my diamond life interview for shine training. It was a remix of her song and there was just something eery and intriguing about it. It worked and soon after that I started to hear her name incessantly. She was what they call an over night success, well at least on the internet. Now she has one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2012 and I was so curious to see how she gained so much hype so fast?
Check out this interview she did with GQ magazine. She explains in her own shy and awkward way her struggles and triumphs in the music industry and how she really wasn’t this overnight success. She seems to be blown away by all the attention, and genuinely believes her success came before the hype and the music, it came with the acceptance of herself. For someone as beautiful as she is you would think fame would come easily, which on some levels it has. But the refreshing thing about Lana is that she seems to be ok with a life without that fame, and purely just wanted to make music. She also doesn’t like that music video she created for ‘video games’ as it has portrayed her in a way that is false. Regardless of how she got to where she is now one thing is true, she did it herself and on her own terms. And that is something I admire and something all artists should strive for.

This film is special and definitely deserves to be officially selected at this years Sundance Film Fest. It reminded me of my days working in the hospital. Before I even started by job I was a volunteer working with the recreational therapist. The patients were usually over the age of 60 and were all trying to regain the use of their hands and feet, simple things we take for granted. I would throw on some Bing Crosby and help them paint bird houses and make oatmeal cookies. At the time I was too young to realize the importance of this encounter. Looking back I wish I would have appreciated my time more. That is what we are all fighting against…time. We are too busy planning our futures or regretting our pasts to know whats happening right now, in this moment. But they were wise enough to know that time was their gift, something they appreciated everyday.
Watch this film as a reminder of how important it is to love your life, and really love it right now.

If you are an artist, or wish to be an artist or simply appreciate art you must watch this film. It is a beautiful and thorough perspective on what it means to be an artist in this time. With technology making it so easy to create your own music, films, photography, websites and really anything and everything, it is so easy for anyone to become an artist. But is that a good thing? Are we creating a mediocre society; long are the days where the elitist groups of artists, born out of luck and brilliance, rule the lands.
I love that fact that more people can create art and that its more accessible than before. It gives everyone an even playing field, you no longer have to be rich to do something you love. But the competition is fiercer which leaves only the ones truly passionate about their art at the finish line, even if that line doesn’t come for the next 20 years.

discovered
I have been on the hunt for the perfect Toronto apartment. I never thought I would be moving back to the city but alas I am. But this time I am taking my time to find the perfect place which means considering price, location, how big it is and how close it is to my work. I never realized how cut throat the apartment renting is! You go to a viewing and you spend the whole time sizing up the competition and trying to read who the landlord likes best. Its worst than being on a blind date I’m sure. But after seeing all the bleak options I discovered the most amazing, beautiful Victorian home that fits my style and personality and has everything on my check list! Could I actually have some luck for once? As the waiting game continues to hear if i got the place I have been discovering the most amazing interior design blogs! My new favourite blog is called design sponge and you should check it out and become a follower immediately! They also give amazing pointers to small business owners and how to promote your site and brand online. Check it out and thank me later as you should hehe
