I really can’t believe that the time has finally come where I can say that I am filming my first movie THIS WEEKEND! Oh my gosh!! What an amazing past few months this has been!
A lot of people have been asking me if I am nervous to be in my first movie, and I am definitely a little nervous because it’s a new experience but I am also very excited. I have been spending the past couple of months really getting to know my character, Kyla the “femme fatale” cook, and really understand what makes her the way she is. She is a very complex character that has been through a lot in her life, so I am looking forward to bringing that depth to the character.
I have learned that it’s normal to be nervous when you experience something for the first time, especially when you’re going to have a crowd of people watching as you do it! I think that being nervous proves how invested you are in what you’re doing because if you weren’t nervous, it would mean you didn’t think you had anything to lose.
I am very lucky that I will get to spend a few days on the film set before I film my scenes this weekend which is a huge help. I will get to see what it’s like and get to know the people I will be working with before I have to film my own scenes which I think will really help to calm my nerves. I have found that the closer I get to my filming date, the less nervous I am becoming and the more excited I am getting!
Another part of filming that I am very much looking forward to is being a part of the daily video updates on the film’s Facebook page! I will also be posting my own daily updates so that you can all truly share this journey and experience with me!
Hopefully we will all get the chance to have many more new life experiences. Don’t forget: the things that mean the most to us make us the most nervous! Don’t let your nerves get the best of you, live the life you want to live and don’t hold back!
