Kimberly Prendez
Actor
Los Angeles, CA
Indie Film Actress





I am an actress who had a story in my lil 'ol head. I sat down over the New Years weekend and wrote my first short film. I had originally wanted a dear friend of mine to write the script. He encouraged me to write it myself after having read some of my lil short stories/poems. After writing the first draft I did have him read it and he offered some great tips on writing dialogue, action etc. By Feb. 2007 I was searching out directors, DPs, actors, PAs etc. This was all new to me!

I have been a professional actress for about 3 years but had no idea how to "make a film." So off I went! I already knew who I wanted to DP my film, Gabriel Diniz. I had worked with him on a film I acted in about a 9 months earlier. I contacted him and he was all about it! I think he was quite excited that I wanted to shoot on super 16 b/w. The DP then gave me a couple names that were interested in directing my project. I met with Jay Guffey and we hit it off, same vision and everything from day one. After not having any luck with other directors I had met with, I knew Jay was my guy. I then started on re-writes, casting and studying with acting coach Chris Holder for my role.

After 3 months of hard work, learning, preparation etc. We were all ready to start filming on April 20th.

We did shoot on super 16. It is a period film taking place in the 1940s. I always saw the story in my head in B/W so that is what we did.

This film is about a woman whos fiance dies in the war. She does not know how to move on from his death. Gabriella makes an interesting choice on how to replace her "lover" Anthony. In the end she starts to come to the realization she may have went about this all wrong. Does she continue what she has been doing, does she finally move on and choose to live or does she make the decision to "join" Anthony???

CommentI would be honored Kimberly:) And when you get a chance, I would like to be added as one of your friends on my space as well:)
(The link for that is on my profile here:)
Thank you so much again, and I am looking forward to hearing what ever it is you have to share...

Maybe this will speak to you as well...
And blessings to you:)
Chase:)

True love...
Is the bridge...
That covers the gaps...
Left by...
Misunderstandings...
And like wise...
Understanding...
Is the passage way...
Through which...
True love...
Enters our lives...

~A Poem~

You look at me
And then you bite
Your lower lip
And look down
And somehow I know
With no way of knowing
Perhaps it is the light
That is illuminating
From your down ward glance
That you are still seeing my image
Burned into your retinas
Just as your countenance
Is permanently stamped
Into my minds eye for forever
Slowly you look up
As if to ensure that the image and
The man are the same
And your eyes smile
Your lovely lips smile
And my heart and soul smiles
You then reach up
And ever so gently
Run your fingers down my face
And I feel as if my soul
Has been brushed by an Angels wings
I draw you to me
And the aroma of you intoxicates me
I drink in your fragrance
And I gently kiss your mouth
Honey and hotness
Tender nips that grow to hungry mouthfuls
We part
We stare
And we feel the love
And the loss
Because what is felt
Is not what is suppose to be
What has happened
Wasn't suppose to occur
And the rightness of it
Is over shadowed by the weight
Of our self conscious wonderings...
We part
We still hold hands
And we both speak volumes
Without saying a single word
I turn and leave
At the door you call my name
I look back expectantly
And you say
Never mind
Be safe
I wish you the same
The door closes
And I lean on it long enough
To look over my shoulder and say
Under my breath
True, I am not suppose to but...
I love you
And you
Now sitting on your bed
Wondering why or what
Allowed the moment to pass
Say in the voice that is in your
Mind...
"I called you really
Not to say
Be safe
But really
To say
Be mine"...
Because I love you
That much...
Then with pen and paper
You begin to write your thoughts
And eventually those scattered thoughts
On tear stained paper...
Become a poem...

Commenti looked it up, it looks like it will be a good movie, and like a very challenging acting role. Good luck with it, actually, id love to hear about your experiences with it once you start shooting.

Ive just got some school theater projects coming up, thats the only extent of my acting currently lol.

Commenthaha, yes, paris is amazing, more amazing than any movie can capture. Ill tell you, I wasnt too impressed by the Cheeses there, but the French Fries really are better..... It must be the kind of potatoes Europeans use or something.
Oh, and you have to try a Fraiser, a strawberry tartlet, they are like strawberry shortcakes except with orgams baked into them. Im sorry, ill stop talking about French food lol.
What film are you working on?
