WORKING ON A TOYOTA COMMERCIAL

Leaving the fitting! Can't wait 'til shoot day.

Aww a star is out and shining bright as I get into my car.

Beautiful views on my drive to set.

Here comes the sun! 

What a nice dealership. I won't mind shooting here all day :)

Behind the scenes

Wardrobe

Lunch was so delicious!

In makeup and ready to get beautified!

Set ready as your dealer. Let's shoot!  :D

Working on the movie Argo

As a grateful actor, I appreciate every job I get. I love what I do and am always pleased at the opportunity to do it. Being someone that aspires to do more in the theatrical world (television and film) getting to work on this movie was a huge blessing in more ways than one. I not only got to work for a week on the set, my longest time on a movie set to date... but I was able to meet and talk with actor and director Ben Affleck. I met some new friends and became a must join and member of SAG now known as SAG-AFTRA. I can honestly say, I will never forget the experience of working on Argo. 

The days were long and fun, the food was good. The opportunity to be a flight attendant in 1979 for India Air was awesome. The wardrobe and feelings associated with it were interesting. I got to wear a Hijab and very modest clothing which was a wonderful learning experience. It was all quite cool. It's also nice to see that it has gotten great reviews critically and publicly. 

As always, I love to bring you with me, so here are some photos!

Shot from the fitting where I first tried my wardrobe for the movie. 

The sun rising in my rear view as I drove to set the first day.

With Aidan and Riya two beautiful talented friends from the shoot.

With Asal who also played an India Air Flight Attendant. She was great!

Sunset view from one of the shoot days.

Comfy shoes in between takes. :)

Good times.

Asal was so much fun.

I loved this pic because it just feels old school. Don't you think?

Blessed with beautiful nature views all week.

A clear freeway is definitely appreciated when driving to set before 4 am! :)

Having a chef make breakfast for me was wonderful. 

Oh yeah..

Another day another chance to play!

Set signage.

Lunch!

Then it was a wrap for me and I drove home smiling. Even the heavens seemed to understand. Breathtaking.

Shooting a Wendy's Commercial

Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to shoot a Wendy's Commercial. It was great to be on location for a night shoot with fun actors and a great crew. Things ran smoothly, it was a good time and the food on set was delicious! There were a couple of things that stood out for me on this shoot. One, was that I had gotten to speak quite extensively with the director and two, this was also my first food commercial experience so what goes into that was exciting and new for me. Sadly, I was unable to obtain a copy of the commercial but I do have a few photos of the experience to share. Hope you like them.

At the fitting before the shoot date.

Last photo #1 before wrap.

Last photo #2 before wrap of the commercial shoot. I really loved the hair and wardrobe I was given. 

I LOVE BEING ON SET!! Gratefully yours...... Tee

Filming for Ford in Seattle

A lot of people will say that being an Actor is tough. The rejection, the uncertainty, the constant chasing for affection... do they like me?? Will I get chosen?? Blah....

In life we all have our paths to choose and when it comes to me and Acting, I can only say that I love it. I love the creativity, fun, and "uncertainty" of it all. I get to play. I get to be. I get to do. In my acting career I have been blessed with quite a few opportunities. Some may be judged as bigger or better than others, some less or more important. Each time I have been able to act, be, do, play I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I am always grateful to get to do my thing. 

This time, however was one of the best so far.....

I had gotten hired for a Ford commercial and this commercial required I travel to Seattle, Washington. So not only did I get to experience the professional joy of being on a shoot, I got to experience the personal joy of travel. The entire experience was magical. I was so excited I barely slept the entire time I was out there! Seattle was beautiful and every person I got to work with was fun and cool. Some of the people I met I consider life long friends. Below, I have included a some pictures and if you would like to see the final product, please go to http://youtu.be/OCc58TfsYyk

Airport chillin'... waiting to board.

Yeah! It's go time. Alaska Airlines was great.

First views on way to hotel

My room! Modern decor, bright colors, and a fur throw! I'm home. ;)

Did I mention the views!! I loved looking out my hotel room window. This is view 1.

View 2 from hotel room window... I love that the cloud looks like a heart.

View 3. Every time I came in or out of the room i made sure to appreciate the views. <3

Stoked! Now time to head out to eat with the group.

So lovely

Fellow actor and now my friend Sha-hid.

The group shot :D

I had to take another solo.. ;)

Lovely views, can you believe by this time it's almost 10 at night?

I was marveling at the fact the sun hadn't gone down yet...

Dinner was so good! We had to have seafood. I tried the freshest oysters EVER!

Then before the sun, I had to report to set! Yummy catered breakfast and wardrobe. Yes please!

In the wardrobe trailer. I didn't keep the glasses for the shoot because my "boyfriend" wore glasses. 

So much art. These trees had knitted sweaters! How cool!

Live music was a joy.

Art was everywhere. Loved it.

Yay it was my turn to shoot. Here's a live set shot.

Inside our car...

Then before you know it, it was time to leave. Bright and early our chariot awaited us and took us to the airport.

Peace from the plane!

Thanks for coming with me to Seattle, Washington. I hope you liked the lovely views. It was a real joy to experience this. I am looking forward to more of the same. If you are an Actor, shoot if you are a person, we can all look to the difficult things but I encourage you to look to the light. The best awaits us there no matter what industry we happen to work in. Cheers to the best life has to offer us.
