 December 1st, do I have all of the scripts? No. I have nine scripts right now but I need to film this so I'm hoping that door number one will have the scene I have already printed because I have five printed eight or nine chosen. Holiday in Santa Fe. This movie is a movie I actually just watched, a Hallmark movie. We're starting off strong with the Hallmark movie but it is a scene. I only have one monologue in there so far so I need to find a reader for this. I might actually have less than 15 minutes today to get ready for this because I don't have a reader here at my house and so I had to go onto an app. I've used this before as a reader but I don't know that I've used it to get a reader. Anyways it's called actor trade and the person that's available to help me is available at two and it's 156 so I'm sending her the slides. I mean the sides. Oh my gosh, hold on. I need to concentrate. Yeah this is a pretty I think cheesy scene where the magic of like Santa Fe is supposed to, she's supposed to like be taking it in but maybe not quite convinced yet. Like in the whole movie she starts off, no she starts off pretty positive like wanting to like buy this shop so I think just like a little bit magical and just reacting to the mom, like mom-daughter relationship because there's definitely a lot of those in hallmark movies. Some of my doors keep opening up. It's a good thing this scene is very very short. It's about 20-30 seconds and I only have a few lines so I'm going to try my best to memorize it because I don't have this printed and I don't really have time to write it down either so. One will be I love my mom. I'm here to buy the shop and make the shop better and then the other one will be I'm annoyed by my mom. I don't even want to go home for Christmas and I just want to buy the shop to make it more corporate. Those are two strong positions that I can take and I can make each one a bit different. It's 202, I'm already late but we're messaging to figure out how to do this. We might just do it on my laptop which would be fine. I think we might just do it through Facebook because for this app you can message on Facebook to find different readers and then you can move into the app or zoom or whatever you want. Of course the app is recommended so that it can all be more streamlined but I think we're going to do a video on here. Hello oh let me see okay I need to give it permission okay hi then can I put this here without breaking anything yeah and I'm doing this like I'm I'm doing this self-tape practice because in this um oh in this one I need a prop phone and I'm filming with this phone so let me go grab a dead phone. So all of the practices I'm doing are um Christmas movies and this one's Holiday in Santa Fe have you watched it before? The business girl so that's essentially what I am. I'm like the business girl who's coming into town to buy a small shop. I'm gonna try another one sweet like this um like this one I'm trying to do nice like a like the good character in the Christmas movie and then for the next one I think I'm gonna try like she's a she hates her mom she doesn't want to see her mom for Christmas she's really here to buy that store and make it corporate versus the other one she's like excited to buy it so let me try it sweet again and then we'll do the meanie okay honey are you gonna make it back for Christmas? Okay now let me get my mode on okay whenever you're ready you wanna make it back for Christmas? That felt good yeah a nice couple of different takes thank you so much bye I did my first self-tape okay she was really sweet super nice and because it was such a short scene me typing it this morning plus reading it a couple of times and I had I had the script on the laptop I would just like glance over but I did my two takes I like really really really need to find my other scripts because who knows what's in number two it could be a really long scene and then I couldn't do this I'm gonna see if I can get a friend to be a reader or at least plan these out a little bit better so like every day at blank o'clock I can go on to the app and be like hey does anybody want to help me at this time this can be a little bit more organized and I actually have 15 minutes to prepare because today it was like seconds to prepare minutes minutes I'm being exaggerating but here are my two takes let me show you the two takes since they're pretty short honey are you gonna make it back for Christmas? yes I'll only be a couple days you know Ruben from next door he's retired and he's going all out he's seen his life to Christmas music and then his father is trying to outdo him how can dad compete with that?
