Really excited to share that I'll be part of this fantastic new web series. It's a sci-fi show that showcases some truly great characters, and I'm honored to be playing a large part in it. Here's just some of the incredible team members.

I know it's been forever since I wrote here. But sometimes that just happens. The industry goes in ways, and things get more complicated when you're in preproduction and really just aren't allowed to share things. There's a few items in the works, and they're not ready to be shared yet. I've booked some fun shows and get to play some great characters. But more on that when I can.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, here's a screen grab from an action short that I did.

Was shooting a short film not too long ago. Here's a still from it. It's about a Mom and Dad who choose to indulge in a few adult substances on the very rare night that they are away from the kids.<br />
<br />
It was a funny and super efficient shoot. Can't wait to share it with you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08626405597346835456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305904798103947306.post-72031885813814343832014-11-25T12:27:00.001-05:002014-11-25T12:27:39.477-05:00Script Reading: The Princess BrideAs actors there are roles that we would've loved to have played, but never got the chance. In this great series that a friend started we read through famous scripts and finally get a chance to play those characters. <br />
<br />
Recently, we read The Princess Bride. I got to play Fezzik, Humperdink, and *my favorite* Miracle Max. I also brought my camera and managed to capture some of the fun.

This past summer I had the honor of going up north an starring in a quirky, dark comedy film written by the super talented Scott Albert, directed by the amazing Ash Catherwood, and Cinematography by the brilliant Bruce William Harper.<br />
<br />
I didn't realize until I got up there that I was in<i> every single</i> scene. It made for really long days, but really fun moments too. <br />

Over the past few months, I've had the unadulterated joy to have been in class a lot. I've taken some dialects classes and some really great intensives on top of my regular weekly actor's workout class. It's been sheer joy. <br />
<br />
I've also recently made the jump to a new and fabulous agent, Sam Woodruff from Butler Ruston Bell. So exciting.<br />
<br />
And to top off this joy, I recently spent three days at a cottage up north working hard on a short film shoot. When I say working hard I do mean it. As the lead, I'm in every single scene, so I was on set from the moment we started to the moment we finished. But you know what? It was absolutely wonderful, as the rest of the cast is incredible and so much fun to work off of. They gave everything at every moment which of course made it all super easy for me. <br />
<br />
And guess what guys? It's a comedy! A dark comedy, but a comedy nonetheless. I'm sort of funny...sometimes. Right?<br />

I've certainly gotten behind, and lax on it. I guess that's the danger of being busy. But for now, if you have any leanings of being upset with me, here's something that might be cool to look at. I won't give away the plot or anything, but look at what make-up I had done on the set of another film project. So awesome!<br />

It's been a while I realize. I've been busy working on scenes, and finishing up synchronicity. It's been rather quite in the industry with a a few auditions here and there. <br />
<br />
A recent self-tape for a tv series regular was awesome and I hope for more. It's one of these weird moments right now where despite the fact that I have things planned and hopefully coming to fruition over the next year it feels like I'm not doing anything. <br />
<br />
Of course, that's not the case. I'm learning new accents, working through a creativity workshops and constantly running scenes - but when you're an actor who's not on set, it feels like you're not doing anything sometimes because it's a lack of the tangible.<br />
<br />
Though, as all artists know, it's these times that make the tangible possible, and hopefully, beautiful. <br />

As part of the rehearsal process we worked on various aspects of improv each week, and also character development for the film. Here is a rehearsal short in which we were challenged to never do a scene with both people just sitting or standing.<br />

More stills from the set of Synchronicity. These were taken on a phone by the lovely Stephanie Gillie who plays Judy in the film. She was also a mega trooper by playing double duty as a production assistant and all around reliable extra hand on set. Love that woman!<br />

It's a horror, and yes I'm a victim. As one facebook friend put it, "Why are you always the victim?" I think it's because of my innocent face. Little do they know, right?<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's an intro to the victims in the film. At least I'm not alone.

We shot the first block of Synchronicity last week. It was a shaky start - weather was against us, and there were many locations set quite far apart. There were a few production issues, and of course we started running behind, yadda yadda yadda. All these are normal challenges on a production. But what's great is we all learned quickly how to work together, and who has what strengths. So the next two blocks - both slated to take place in September - should go a lot more smoothly. <br />
<br />
Also, we won't be driving for hours and hours to locations. The next shoots are all fairly close to home with travel time being minimal. So not only will time be on our side, but most importantly that this family has figured each other out. It's amazing the dedication to this film as everyone, despite being tired, and frustrated (like I said weather hit us hard) we all came together really amazingly. There's a great bunch of folks on this here cast and crew. We've got our groove. And we're makin' a movie!<br />

Here's a few more photos from the set of the action flick I was on recently. Yes, that's me being beaten about and falling to my death. It was awesome...once I faced my fear of heights.<br />

I was on the set of an action/thriller Actra co-op film for a few days. The film involves a lot of action and fight scenes, and there were a ton of talented stunt actors on set. I was lucky enough to work with, Neil Davison, on one particular stunt myself.<br />
<br />
Neil is an amazing stunt co-ordinator, and he has some mad skills! But more than that he is an incredibly patient teacher, and has a very calming energy around him. Honestly, the best comparison I can draw is to say he's like Obi Wan Kenobi. He prepped me for a fall to my death into a pile of boxes. <br />
<br />
The days were long. It was draining not just physically (three 14-17 hour days - that part is normal - and lots of physical work) but also in that I was supposed to be fighting for my life in a lot of the scenes. So the emotional status was taxing as well. But it was so much fun to actually get a bit more physical in a role.<br />
<br />
The two actors stunt actors I worked with most were Serje Basi and Jonny Caines. Jonny played the loving boyfriend who tries to save me when Serje's character captures me at knife point. Working with Serje, who's character assaults me, yanks me around by the hair, and slams my head into the floor, was amazing. He knows his stunt and fight work so well, that I easily trusted him and could just let go and play. Jonny was great to work with from my perspective in that he's very concerned that everyone is safe, and feels good about what they're doing. Plus, to see these two guys fight (over me - oh yeah!) was amazing. Can't wait to show you all the scenes. <br />

Headed to set one fine morning to start filming an action/thriller short film called, Backlash.<br />
<br />
Of course, it was a lot of hurry up and wait, as is the custom on a film set. But the set and green room were gorgeous, so I don't think I'm going to complain about sitting around staring at horses all day. Yup, seriously, that was my view. <br />
<br />
Having professional hair and make up is really great, and the team was so talented and super patient with all us actors. Honestly, I don't understand what they do, but they're amazing at it. <br />
<br />
Thank goodness for them, I say!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's some Instagram photos from the day <a href="http://instagram.com/joannahaughton#" target="_blank"><i>*don't forget to follow me if you want live updates*</i></a> of the set, the team and me before and after. <br />

After a 14 hour shoot day I finally got home. Boy was I happy to see my warm, comfy bed. Love working, and there's nothing better than that glorious crash at the end. <br />
<br />
Two more days to go!<br />

I've teased you with it on twitter, and Instagram for a while now. But the feature film I'm in and producing, called Synchronicity is happening. We've got a mostly female cast. The three men in this picture are the director and two actors. The rest it's all us women taking over the screen. <br />
<br />
Our stories are not being told, we're the story that happens to me. Well in this film it's different. And the best part is this is a soft sci-fi film that includes time travel! How awesome is that?<br />
<br />
I'd love for you to <a href="http://igg.me/at/synchronicity/x/4124179" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">watch the video</a> and then maybe <a href="http://igg.me/at/synchronicity/x/4124179" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">check out the Indiegogo page</a> to read more about what the project is really about. This is a vital story that I feel strongly about, and I think if you saw it, you would too.<br />

On June 18th in support of the feature film Synchronicity which I'm producing and starring in, the Winchester Bar & Kitchen opened it's doors for a night of stand up comedy. I had worked on this fundraiser very hard, spending many hours hunched over my computer organizing, email, and otherwise willing this into existence.<br />
<br />
The line up was amazing. It featured <span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl">Michelle Doyle,<span class="text_exposed_show">Maddox Campbell, Jeff Clark, Megan Fahlenblock, Simon Rakoff, Shelley Kidwell, Max Magas, Rene Payes, Diana Bailey, and Elvira Kurt. Hosted by Monica Mustelier, the night was a great success as everyone laughed and laughed. They also took home some great raffle prizes including a dance package courtesy of the Joy of Dance Centre in Toronto. </span></span></span><br />
