Vitamin Water National Commercial (Casting by People Farm & ME!)

I just wanted to share with you my favorite project I've been a part of since starting a casting career in Los Angeles in 2005.

I loved casting these "REAL PEOPLE" for this commercial...It was the biggest and most well-pulled off prank in my history of "hidden camera" television casting projects! (The kids in this commercial were told that they would be flying to Arizona after auditioning to be an audience "extra" for a live performance taping from a band/artist that I "didn't have details about just yet" but I told them to "trust me" and that it was a casting call for something really fun & cool to add to their resumes. After interviewing and auditioning for over 100 college-aged kids & a few weeks of behind the scenes casting work for this "audience member live event casting call".....the people featured on the plane are REAL PEOPLE who honestly thought they had been picked to fly to a concert taping and be an "EXTRA"....little did they know they were chosen to be in a NATIONAL COMMERCIAL for a HUGE company!



Thank you for trusting me as your casting director - I hope you are blessed every time this commercial airs and congrats on getting your SAG credentials...sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time....and if you choose to "just show up" and see what doors God opens for you....you will be BLESSED!

I truly loved each "kid" who I worked with getting them to this "undercover hidden camera" project...and I hope they are all happy to find out they were part of a commercial that aired tonight during AMERICAN IDOL and a major NBA basketball game!

I'm so blessed to have been a part of this & I have to give a shout out to Nick Chiodini of People Farm Casting... #farmingfresh #teampeoplefarm

If you are looking to cast REAL PEOPLE for anything...team people farm has it in the bag!!
Congrats to People Farm & Smuggler for helping make this commercial happen & pull this HUGE prank off! And thanks to the artists B.o.B. and DJ Skeeter for giving their time, energy and talent to this project! The fans on the place were shocked!

And at the end of the day....this is why I love that God has made me a Casting Guru! I do love what I do!  #BORINGTOBRILLIANT

Amazon Outreach "Wells4Hope"

My sister works for Amazon Outreach, a non-profit, interdenominational mission organization formed to support Brazilian churches and other organized ministries in spreading the gospel message of Jesus Christ throughout the Amazon River Basin. They have partnered with indigenous churches in Brazil that are seeking unreached people in villages along the river (in some of the 33.000 unreached villages along the river who have never heard the Gospel).

Among the many ways to get involved with Amazon Outreach, the "Water Wells" ministry touched my heart when I saw this video the other day.....the best part is toward the end of this clip.

You will see excited little kids lining up one by one to take their first sip of fresh, clean water  from the water well provided by Amazon Outreach and those were a part of making this happen by giving the gift time, energy, love, fundraising and gifts of a donation. 

For more information on how you may be able to support the drilling of water wells, check out Amazon Outreach's Water Well Ministry  Wells4Hope.

Keep up the great work, sis! I'm proud to say you are my loving, smart, tender hearted and wonderful sister who does the hard job of accounting for this organization, among other things! 

You are blessing so many lives through your time, energy and work with AO! I'm so proud of you and all you've been a part of! 

London..I'm in Love!

Bryan and I just returned from our first trip to London!

We spent a few days singing in the rain, dining on fish and chips, posing and taking pictures with Royal guards, "getting lost" walking around London while stumbling on famous sites such as the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, stopping at a local pub to hang with local chaps in Piccadilly Circus, visiting Shakespeare's globe, riding in black cabs with drivers who call you "darling" in a cute accent, walking across the Tower Bridge, strolling around Trafalgar Square, stopping by Winston Churchill's War Rooms, shopping at Harrods and sipping campaign on the top floor of Harvey Nichols...and so many more fun adventures! 

Neither of us had ever been there before so naturally that was our next destination and adventure to check off our bucket list!

After we visited London, we flew over to one of our favorite destinations...you guessed it..Switzerland! We spent a lovely week hanging out with my family all around Geneva, Bern, Rolle, Gland, Bursinel and other picture perfect Swiss areas. Stay tuned to my next post about the rest of our week relaxing, hiking, sightseeing, shopping & living the Suisse life! 

Here are a few fav photos from our London visit! (Photos taken by the amazing photographer, Bryan Mason!)

Big Ben

Where should we wonder to next?

Changing of the Guards...my favorite!

I. Love. London.
