Space Hospital Screening at Cinespace

2010-02-20T15:18:00.000-08:00

Last night's screening at Cinespace was so much fun! Here are some pictures (can't believe we forgot the good camera last night):

Here are the beautiful Anne Ford and me being interviewed by Koldcast TV anchor Stuart Papp. We blathered about god knows what. He was patient.

This is the picture that made me realize, "Oh. I am very pregnant-looking." A strange shock.

Series creator Robert Poe and producer Susan Stoebner discuss the show.

With lovely actress Mary Buckley and Rob. My rad hair is thanks to the always excellent Bryan Cummins at Blue Velvet Salon.

I really adore this woman and love playing her rival onscreen.

Nurse Ratknee hams it up on the big screen!

Great cast shot. Rich Hutchman, Mary Buckley, Robert Poe, Anne Ford, and myself.

It was a really fun night, and great to hear live reaction and laughs. It's always nice to get feedback and see enthusiasm for something you've been working on for so long (it's really our tireless producer Susan Stoebner and the amazing Rob Poe who has been in the salt mines with this thing, and I have to commend him for the way he is re-editing and freshening up the first season for Koldcast - congratulations).

Even More Awesome Space Hospital News

2010-02-17T15:41:00.000-08:00

This is so cool. On Friday, there is going to be a screening of Space Hospital at a real movie theatre, Cinespace, in Hollywood! This is to promote a nomination for a Streamy Award, which is the award for web series. From their Facebook page:

Space Hospital, Safety Geeks SVI, GOLD the series, Life with Kat & McKay and Redemption will be holding a "for your Streamy consideration" screening next Friday, February 19th from 7 to 9:30p.m. at Cinespace Hollywood. It's free and open to the public. There will be some giveaways, too. Please join us!

There is even going to be press there and a red carpet for publicity! I will try to take pictures and blog about it as soon as I can. What is a pregnant woman to wear? I have decided to tell people that this is just extreme method acting.

Podcast - Interview With The Creators Of Space Hospital

2010-02-11T09:21:00.000-08:00

There is an awesome podcast out today from Evadot discussing the series with creator Robert Poe and our producer Susan Stoebner. This is a really great discussion of the thought and creativity behind the show. I'm so excited that the series is really gaining momentum, and so impressed with the re-cut (and re-imagined) episodes that are airing weekly on Koldcast TV. Check them out!

2009-12-16T14:07:00.000-08:00

There is a really nice article about me in Mirage Magazine this month, the UNM Alumni publication. Apparently I am a Free-Range Thinker! Go read it here! I'm so grateful to UNM for the amazing scholarship they gave me. I realized recently what an incredible gift that was in so many ways.

Cool Review of Space Hospital

2009-12-07T13:03:00.000-08:00

This VisioWeb review of Space Hospital is a really great and considered approach to the new season. I happen to agree with them. Check it out!

Space Hospital Season Two Begins TODAY!!

2009-11-24T09:17:00.000-08:00

This poster by Brett Snodgrass is gorgeous!

Watch and enjoy! I think the new season has a lot of really fun twists in it. It was terribly fun to film.

New England/Canada Trip (Pt. 1)

2009-11-20T11:57:00.000-08:00

I think I'm going to have to break this up into a few posts. Too many pics. If you want to skip ahead, the entire album is available here for viewing.

We arrived in NYC and our first night was spent at a new hotel called Ink48 on 48th and 11th Ave overlooking the Hudson and the Intrepid museum. Not a bad gig!

Our cabin had a bottle of champagne to welcome us to the ship.

Cabin - one king and a pull-out bed.

The main lobby of the ship.

Fancypants

Complete with string quartet.

Look, we were tired.

Getting ready to disembark from Brooklyn!

Oh no, will we make it under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge? (answer: yes)

Bye bye, pretty and strange city whose skyline still feels awkward and sad to me.

Newport, RI the next day. I have very few pics from this day, but it's a lovely town.

The first formal night. I managed to put on some jewelry after this picture, but there is NO EVIDENCE.

...more to come.

Mary and Aaron's Wedding

2009-11-17T12:45:00.000-08:00

Just want to catch up a little here on everything we've been up to in the last several weeks. The party started the week before Halloween with the wedding of our dear friends, directors/producers/artists Mary and Aaron of Maron Studio.

It was a lovely affair and you can see the entire album of photos here.

Pics of the cruise on the next update.

Space Hospital Season Two Prologue - "Confessions in Purgatory"

2009-11-09T10:32:00.000-08:00

Nurse Ratknee explains it all for you.

Leaving Soon

2009-10-26T15:34:00.000-07:00

We are about to be away on a big trip - a CRUISE, mind you - on the Queen Mary 2 with my dad. Will be gone for long time. I probably won't have blogger access but most likely will be tweeting about it (did you know that David is on Twitter, too?). I will share pics when I return. There is a good chance that the Prologue to Season 2 of Space Hospital will come out while I'm gone, so keep your eyes out for it on their site. I think it will be awesome, so keep your eyes peeled for that. See you soon!

Lonely Hearts Club

2009-10-13T17:17:00.000-07:00

TINY UPDATE: I got to shoot a cool short film on Saturday called Lonely Hearts Club. In one of those cool, weird things that make this city fun, I was cast by my massage therapist, who had written the script and was self-producing. I got to play a therapist of sorts. Unfortunately, it was such a whirlwind, I didn't have a chance to take any pictures. I will share when I have more info!

WELL!

2009-09-29T16:46:00.000-07:00

That's more like it.

I have approximately 600 photos to sort through. This is going to be hard (the fun kind of hard). Hooray!

Memory Lane - Phantom "Melodie De Paris"

2009-09-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

Getting new headshots tomorrow with Molly Hawkey. Time for a new look around here!

In the meantime, here is another blast from the past:

Grateful

2009-09-08T17:17:00.000-07:00

I had a really good birthday.

It was a day that started like this, and ended like this:I had the pleasure of filming the first episodes of the second season of Space Hospital this weekend, so I was lucky enough to get to spend my birthday acting, which is probably the best gift I could ask for.

With the radiant Anne Ford, my arch-nemesis and dear friend.

I got to meet Victoria and Carmelo for dinner post-shoot, and they were awesome and sweet and brought really thoughtful, cool gifts.

So, thank you for your well-wishery and your love. I felt it.

Space Hospital Table Read

2009-08-26T16:45:00.000-07:00

I've been so busy. Went to Albuquerque again, filmed a wedding, working hard on music, and pretty much just have been going nonstop for weeks. A lil' acting update:

On Monday night, we had a reading for the new Space Hospital scripts for Season 2. We will be filming on Labor Day weekend. I am really excited about it. Everything is going to be tighter, smarter, and much more linear and easier to follow. This has really been a work-in-progress for them and I think they are headed in the right direction. Nurse Ratknee has some awesome plot development coming up. YAHOO!!!Here is a picture of some kind of mysterious dudecreature who will be showing up in the upcoming season.

Just as an FYI, to really know what's up with me on a daily basis, I can be found at @theEndless on Twitter. But further, I have created a new account solely for acting updates at @AdrianaRoze. If you want to know what is up with our music (which is a lot), please go to the Endless website and read our blog. So many ways to update, so compartmentalized! Hopefully all fun.

A Few Pictures

2009-08-05T15:19:00.000-07:00

...from the last few weeks. But first, have you seen my interview about Space Hospital? Or the new video for "Somniloquy?"

A bigger album with pictures is here.

Celebrated David's birthday in Phoenix at the ridiculously lush Royal Palms Hotel in Phoenix. Go to the album above for pics of our 8-room Presidential Villa.

We ran into Byron at the Tori Amos show!

We then went to Albuquerque for Uncle Al's funeral. For a little album of pictures of Al, click here.

Li' nephew was there.

Took a family pic on Ma's 60th birthday.

Lil' niece. I have a feeling this kid is going to be hilarious.

Space Hospital - New Interview on The Web Files!

2009-07-29T11:45:00.000-07:00

We did this great interview a few weeks ago for The Web Files promoting Space Hospital. Check it out! There is also a newly-designed website for the show so you can look at an episode guide and catch up with anything you've missed. We will be shooting Season 2 in the fall!

UPDATE: Here is a link to the creator's blog about shooting that day.

Passages

2009-07-15T11:05:00.000-07:00

This has been a hard week. David's beloved uncle, Al Geduld, passed away on Sunday. For those of you who don't know, this is Chuck's stepdad and just all-around amazing and inspiring person. We will be heading to New Mexico on Sunday for his memorial (we are actually leaving Friday for Costa Mesa and Phoenix - that's a whole other story). It's hard to not be there right now. We feel strangely detached and in limbo.

In the meantime, I am just going to post a few pictures from our visit to Portland to meet our new nephew, Noah. The full album can be viewed and downloaded here.

Perfect little angel, followed by...

KABOOM!

Da L�pez boyz

What we were saying

What we were thinking

This could be the start of a smile or a meltdown, it's hard to say

I love this, they were instantly 10 years old when they came across these monkey bars

Love love love

Fireworks, Candy, & Puppy Dog Store!

Geese need to cross the street, too, you know.

"The Magic Is In The Hole"

Visiting our awesome cousins in McMinville. "David! David! David!" SO CUTE.

Someone's in the kitchen with Lisa (hint: it's me). She made us a ridiculously amazing Greek meal. The woman is a food virtuoso.

Lawrence and Noah really hit it off.

Heart exploding with proximity to adorableness

My little friend here gave me a FULL rundown of her trip to see The Phantom Of The Opera in Portland. So you can see why we are soulmates.

(side note: I'm not sure where all the pics of Maddy got off to, I will have to add some, I know there are a ton)

Wherein we learn that Juliana is a musical genius and has possible prodigy-level capabilities

Smoke bombs, still fun after all these years

Happy family

Space Hospital Promo Shoot

2009-06-29T16:34:00.000-07:00

It's hard to believe but after all this time, Space Hospital is still going and is ramping up to shoot a new season. Yesterday we shot brand new advertisement spots that will precede Season Two.
Forgive the unedited quality of these shots, I just wanted to get them up here as soon as possible.

What is going on in this mystery picture? That's between Ratknee and her heat ray.

Rob communicating his vision.

Oh, that lovable robot.

OK OK OK. SO. This was my first ever INTERVIEW for a show. This is for an entertainment show that covers web series. The interviewer was so nice and I...I mean...if only you could have seen the depths of my ridiculousness. OH WAIT, you TOTALLY WILL see. Fantastic.

Wait, what is this? Could it be an even MORE lovable robot has entered the picture? Modeled here by the glorious Anne Ford.

In September, we begin work on Season Two. I can't wait!

Memory Lane: Phantom

2009-06-23T10:18:00.000-07:00

This was the Southwest Premiere of the Kopit and Yeston version of Phantom. I was very lucky to be one of the first Christines. In this scene, she has just gotten a job at the opera house as a dresser to Carlotta (ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION to the book, btw) and sings about how excited she is to be on the edge of fulfilling her dreams.

What you can't see well here is that the set was a really elaborate three-level affair that was designed as an architectural cross-section of the real Opera Garnier.

I've already gotten a few requests on the YouTube channel to post more from this show, so at some point when I get a chance I will probably show the rest of this scene.

Memory Lane: Sweeney Todd

2009-06-18T14:54:00.000-07:00

I've started a YouTube channel for my acting stuff. Don't even ask me why I haven't done this until now. Anyway, I will be featuring videos here from my back catalog. First up is Sweeney Todd, "Green Finch and Linnet Bird," with Musical Theatre Southwest (formerly ACLOA). Video is pretty bad but you can get an idea. I just went back recently to look and this show and I have to say, it was a really good production. Sweeney is, dare I say it, my favorite musical of all time.

Nothing but fond memories of this production. It is still very sad that ACLOA died the horrible death that it did.

I would do this show again in a heartbeat. The wonderful thing about Sondheim is he has great roles for all ages of a woman's life, so I'm aiming next for the beggar woman, and then some day Mrs. Lovett. All in good time.

Dispatched

2009-06-01T14:33:00.001-07:00

In case you didn't catch it on the Twitter feed, it was a fun weekend of shoots. On Saturday, I got to shoot a role for The Diamonds Of Metro Valley with the always amazing Mary and Aaron of Maron Studio. I was a sassy police dispatcher with a whole lot of blue eyeshadow.
As you can clearly see, I don't take no guff. It was really cool to see Mary and Aaron in their element doing what they do best. I am so proud and excited for them. They have been working on this movie for what feels like a hundred years and these are the final re-shoots. David is also currently doing sound design for one of the characters in the film, a giant robotic lizard named Ron.

Then on Sunday, we shot the green screen component for our music video for Hunt For The Heart. You can read all about that here. All I will say is that explosions did occur.

Space Hospital Season Finale - "Omagone"

2009-05-19T10:27:00.000-07:00

Last episode for this season, more being filmed this summer/fall! This one really made me chuckle, with the introduction of Prince Plodd. Enjoy!
