Let us promote your talents...to be found!

I think what I'm looking to work with, are people that are like me--the ones that enjoy the overseas, films with sub-titles...

I guess I might be the oddest person on this site, but to be honest, what I'm looking for are people that are similar like myself.

I don't know if most of the actors or flimmakers that come here are going to be looking for someone like myself, but the types of films I have a passion for are the ones that are like the independent filming, very different, but the actors have extreme passion for those films.

Not just my idol Jackie Chan films, Sammo, Michelle Yo, Jet Lei, Donnie Yen, and much like these films, that I grew up, and I think people will get a feel of what I'm talking about.

I have great comedic timing and honestly, yes I have had two years of actually getting paid for an improvisational dinner theatre, yes a real pay check, so I know besides a little bit about martial arts and a little bit of the training I have and studying these types of films for the past few years, especially Jackie Chan, it isn't all about the martial arts, it has alot to do comedic timing also, which I have done a little bit of stand up, and yes I do have real references for things that I was involved in.

As with independent films, I have come to learn, for a short film, it can take up a few years to finish.

In an independent film, which I was involved in last year, they are still editing it. It is called "Inventory" and it is about slackers, who just will do anything, at any cost from doing their job in a big, huge warehouse.

Now the director Justin Fielding, took something from each of us and put it in our characters in the script.

I love the fact, that Justin, took my love for my idol Jackie Chan and wrote it into my character, and my name is suppose to be called "Maria", but besides the lines that I am given, I yell alot, "Don't call me Maria, my name is Jackie just like my idol Jackie Chan"

But what Justin did was to show me as a strong woman, which I mean very dominating and not afraid of any guy, and to tell you, I think the guys had a ball with this.

Justin's son was one of the first camera men, now let me tell you, everytime I did something, the kid couldn't stop laughing and his face turned as red as the color of his hair.

Now I seriously have never have watched myself do any comedy and how am I suppose to tell if I'm funny or not, all I go upon is that people will laugh non-stop and have to take control of themselves.

Now the other camera guy, Kevin Hammer, very sweet guy, oh yeah, Kevin must love that, a man being called sweet,

well he kept filming me off screen, while I do improv about working at a doggie day care, and such, and he video taped this, all the ramblings I improved, and I think he is keeping this for his own collection--ok, if I work with Jackie Chan, tell me he won't try and black mail me?

But to do the things I did in the film, Justin showed me as a strong willed woman, not being weak and helpless and ok so I tortured poor Dennis Hurley, which I have to admit, I had to yell at Dennis alot, and I seriously almost felt bad, cause Dennis is a nice guy--oh yeah, if that isn't bad enough, I know guys, don't like to be called a nice guy.

But I had to be so mean to Dennis and yell and scream at him and threaten him with nun-chucks.

Nun-chucks? you say nun-chucks, yes that's part of my name--how can you forget it, but yes they filmed me swinging nun-chucks and actually I did hit myself in the head with these in the head twice while on set, don't know if it got in the filming, me hitting myself in the head, maybe in the after takes.

But this is the stuff I been working on, my dream, I know I am odd on this site, but this is what I'm looking for, if you make the type of films that Jackie Chan, and quite the rest of the world makes, these are the types of films, I have my heart set on working on.

Please contact me here and I am also on facebook. thank you
