Homeworld X: Cast as Seargent Fulsom

This summer I'll be filming the role of Seargent Fulsom in Homeworld X, feature-length Sci-fi about an expedition to another planet to save the human race.

Character descriptions are listed on the website forum. But for your convenience, I'll list mine here:

Sergeant Fulsom, Diane

Hardened by war and the loss of her husband to the Mendax invasion, Fulsom is a bitter combat machine. Cold and calculating, with an unrivaled temper.

We are shooting short scenes this weekend that will go up on the website, and Memorial Day weekend we will be in Fort Bragg shooting footage for the film trailer. Principle photography is tentatively scheduled for early July.

I'm really excited... This character reminds me of Starbuck from Battlestar Gallactica, my favorite show. It's a dream character type for me to play- tough, yet vulnerable.

Voiceover training and acting class

It's been a while since I've posted and for all of those keeping tabs on me, sorry to keep you in the dark. :) I've been busy taking a multitude of voiceover classes at Voice One since September and I plan on recording my demo this summer.

I've also been taking a Meisner acting class with Christy Wioncek at Bay Area Acting. I love this technique and I love this class. Through the Meisner Technique, I'm learning how to better get touch with my emotions, connect to others on a deep level, and live honestly in the moment. They're not only great acting skills, but useful in all aspects of life.

Double Spaced Shoot

Principle photography for Double Spaced is finished. The shoot was 9 days, and I was on set for the first 4, starting Saturday July 30. I had a great time. I have one more shoot day, Saturday August 20th. Who would've thought a feature could get shot so quickly?
