Squaresville

Over a year ago, I was asked to play a role in a web series pilot called Squaresville.  I reminded the creator of the series, Matt Enlow, that I am definitely not an actress, but he reassured me that the role was a TV reporter.  Surely I could handle that, right?  We shot my scenes the night before I left for a month at the State Fair of Texas in 2010. In the following months, I was able to meet the incredible stars of the series, Mary Kate Wiles and Kylie Sparks, who play the inseparable duo trying to fit in a world that sometimes makes us feel like you can't ever fit in.  Their tag line is so fitting:  "They say it's hip to be square.  Sometimes I am not so sure."

Well, the series is now raising funds to complete production and they have 18 days left to complete their $12,000 goal.  They have hit a series of milestones and they continue to release minisodes after each goal is met.  My cameo appeared yesterday, how did I do? Well, you can watch it all below, let me know what you think!

Go Far: The Christopher Rush Story

Living in LA, I am obviously surrounded the entertainment industry and all that comes with it:  TV, films, and the inevitable Hollywood gossip.  I get to hear about what people are working on, when their project will air, and their latest work they are raising money for.  About a month ago, I finally took the time to see my friend, Zack Arnold's, trailer for his passion project, Go Far:  The Christopher Rush Story.  It's a documentary about his friend, Christopher Rush, and his inspiring story about living with Muscular Dystrophy and continually defying the odds. He lived his life like we all should each and every day.

I have always been impressed with Zack's work; whether it is editing the game-changing web series, The Bannen Way, or editing the last couple seasons of Burn Notice, he is always the consummate professional in the industry.  So, that's why I am helping out with this project and donating money to get the project off of the ground.  I was inspired by Christopher Rush's story, I love documentaries, and I realized what an incredible impact Christopher had on Zack's life.

So take a look at the trailer below (with some incredible MD Telethon footage with Jerry Lewis!), visit the website, and if you are moved, maybe donate a few dollars to this worthwhile project on Kickstarter. (Deadline is March 20th.)

Watch the trailer and let me know what you think!
