Design Intervention Specialists


Proof-of-concept for D.I.S. -- Design Intervention Specialists, a home-improvement show where friends stage an intervention for their good friends with bad taste. A design intervention. Hosted, produced and created by HGTV's Belma Michael Johnson ("Designed to Sell"). I met Belma at a Hosting workshop I attended at the Continuing Ed Center. Belma had this idea for a show. So this group of amazing women rallied together, and he lead us in production from start-to-finish. I'm telling you guys, this little workshop was really the thing that lit the fire in me to pursue hosting and acting...you know...the stuff that makes me happy!? Well...the workshop was ONE major factor...My Trip to India was another. :) So, WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY??? Take a class, join a group...venture out and try something you've always wanted to do. I promise you, good things will come your way if you're doing what feeds your soul....(wow...I think I just channelled Oprah). Check it:  http://dis.homestead.com/

Hyundai Commercial


So this is what's called a "spec" commercial.  It basically is a proof-of-concept for a particular idea and execution for a commercial.  In this case, the production company IMNetwork Studios were chosen as finalists for a competition held by Hyundai.  This commercial was submitted  and may be used to produce a piece to be aired nationally.  It's good to know that I can play the role of mother of a son who is old enough to drive (WOWZERS!!!). Ironically enough, my first car was a little grey Hyundai Excel. I remember that sucker barely made it up the hill on the 805. But it sure did get us around!!! :)))) vroom vroom
