That's a wrap.

so we wrapped "The Ghost Club".

it only took 10 days of filming to shoot.

but it was such a challenging & rewarding 10 days!

I pushed myself more physically & emotionally as an actress.

I learned a lot about how to stay in the moment in a scene no matter what,
like when your cast mate throws you by saying all YOUR scripted lines in a scene! (this guy)

& I got better at making my actions flow well as opposed to just seeming blocked out.
we did a lot of improv, but then in some scenes is was totally by the script.
so I had to learn a balance between the two options.

I've also realized I need to be more bold in the way I deal with situations. like if I feel as if I didn't do well in a take, I should be able to ask for another one. or if something is distracting me & therefore pulling away from my ability to perform than I should point it out. Obviously, I would always be nice & polite, but I need to be less shy about these things.

sometimes I feel like I'm not cut out for this industry.
but I love it so much.
I just need to establish a tougher skin & work on having more authority & boldness within myself.
