Rising Sensation Actress Julie Gomez!


Yes, Actress Julie Gomez has been on the Broadway scene but, has made a come back by auditioning for Cybel Lake. Julie Gomez came in auditioning for a lead role in her feature film which is a dark comedy. This is reality in the making of our future stars, Ladies & Gentlemen! We met on a promotional model shoot for an HBO 14 part series called Addiction. She was going to walk out on this opportunity, but I convinced her . It got her a billboard on Times Square. This is where true star power comes from. A young Actress still working hard to keep up with her skills for the movie scene in 2009. Julie Gomez is a true star for her beauty & persistence in the filming business. I was there when she auditioned and she gave it her all. I see you have pontential and your good at it.

The Man Who Gave Me The Chance:Gavin O'Conner!!


Director Gavin O'Conner was the one who gave me the chance to appear in my first feature film. The story is weird and from what I hear rarely happens to the average actor/actress. So here I am forced by a friend of mine who happens to be a Job developer named Rudy telling me that I'm going to this audition for a movie. He takes six of us and everyone is nervous but I want to get it over with. When we arrive we're given the side for the role. Yes I volunteered to be first to get out of there, so here I am in front of the camera with the casting director Randi Heller & I ask her if I can just do it my way, she agrees. Than she asks me have I ever done this before, "I say no I'm a natural". We all laugh, & she says your confident. Two weeks later I'm called back to audition in front of the director. As I'm auditioning & talking with Gavin he shoots the magic question, "I'm casting for another role would you do it"? I accepted the offer and Whhaaa LLaahh! It's Magic! I'm on a set with a $30 million dollar budjet. Entertainment!It's not everyday you walk down the Red Carpet with Colin Farrell, Ed Norton, John Voight, Manny Perez & a bunch of other top notch actors, directors, producers and the media. Thank you for the educating me Gavin & your wisdom is well appreciated.

All This From A Six Year Old. Makes You Think!!

I just had to film this six year old. Look at him on the stage having a conversation with the MC of the event who's been around for a while.The Child was out of Jersey and his mother is so elated with the gift of her son. When he was taking his headshots at the event in the back he was born a star. I even have footage of him having a conversation with Tony Sunshine, Christion D'or & Dee.So yes this child is gifted & we will see more of him if a real director needs a child actor. He is a decendent of Art in itself. Watch him for yourself & lets just watch his series to come all filmed by Jrodaction.

Ayan Elmi The Somalian Princess!


Ayan Elmi is the beauty of East Africa that you must admire. I was speaking with her earlier and was inquiring on Fashion Week. Yes its approaching us when the tent is put up & all of the big wigs are getting ready to sit down & view some of the fashion that's on the agenda. But most important are the models that are going to bring the Designer to life. With their beauty, walk, attitude and most of all their swagger who has brought them to this point. Yes, this is why we address them as Super Models. So the Princess from the East, Africa that is.I will admire her from the first day I met her. Amazing!! May you continue to reach new heights Ayan.

Not Only An Actress But Also A Prodcution Guru!!


This story here is an amazing one. Denise Violante is not only an aspiring actress but she has put in a lot of work behind the scenes on many sets. If you log on to IMDB.com & put her name in you'll see so much Production work for this woman that you'll be amazed at her work on the countless sets that this woman is on the verge of becoming a top Producer sooner than we think. I was so inspired by her conversations that everytime we speak we just go into so much stuff that I just can't stop talking to her because of her passion. Even though she's always behind the camera she really wants to step in front for a change & I think she'll be making her appearence in Old Dog coming out soon. Thanks to Robin Williams who choose her out of the blue for her beauty & ambition that radiates her vibe all the time. Good luck Denise. I want you to know that we will be working on our own set soon so get ready. Keep up the good work. It's stories like this that go unnoticed and it takes someone to write about accomplishments of future pioneers in Entertainment. Denise, you have made a contribution to the greater cause. Thank you so much for your sacrafices to show what it takes to make it on your own.I know its not over yet.

Me With Kangol Kid, C.E.O. of Ruff Riders Dee, Tony Sunshine & Christion D'or Exclusive Kitchen Shoot!!

This was at an Acotrs, Signers, Directors, Casting Directors, Producers & Talent event that I was attending. What we were displaying was the unity of Art in all aspects. Great minds coming together to take down the industry by storm. It was old school with the new so we had a sit down with Kangol Kid from U.T.F.O. who rapped on the song Roxanne Roxanne. That's old school for all those that don't know.
I was also behind the camera for this one coming out of an interview with Who?Mag.net going through the motions of our accomplishmen in Entertainment. Tony Sunshine, Christion D'or(new rapper on the set) & Dee were mentoring new artist at the VIP event.

Behind The Scenes Footage On The Set of Pride & Glory!!


This was my first time ever on the set of a motion picture with some heavy weight Actors that I didn't even know were in it. Mind you when I approached the P.A. he told me this is your Trailor. I was like what, he said this budget is $30 Million dollars so your in a motion picture. This is when the reailty hit me of what an article I'll write about feeding the will. Any way lets see my baby steps behind the camera. Action!!
. I'll give you another video with a photo of my first scene with actors Frank Grillo & John Ortiz. Two great actors who also sat me down and taught me a lot of classes OJT style. "On The Job Training"

The Cybil Lake Show! A Reality TV Show!


The Cybil Lake Show is a Reality TV show based on the making of a feature film in New York City. The Director/Creator is also an actress & we have been filming a pilot for the show. All of our production meetings, first interviews and recently our first casting calls have been filmed. We have a dynamic crew that are all contributing to this project with so much passion that its unbelievable. As Cybil Lakes Assistant and possibly Actor in her film we have had a good turn out thus far.On our first casting call we had two great actresses as our readers which were Miriam Tabb who's a sister out of Brooklyn who stands at 5'10 without heels and she had such a passion that I was overwhelmed by her performance & help that I had to mention her for her great contribution in helping the actors perform their sides in the casting call & for her input in making this day a success. It's great to have such people to put so much for very little. Than there was Roberta Lucila Colindrez who holds a B.F.A. in acting from Texas State University. Her training is noticable because she was also a great reader & I was dazzled at her way in transforming her voice & charactor as she began to relate with the role. With all this great talent that goes unnoticed I was compelled to write about these two great women that have so much passion & strength that I couldn't let them go unnoticed in anyones eyes because these woman may someday be on the big screen & I'll be honored to say I know these young women who dedicated so much at a time when no one would. I'll be posting their photos in the future & will allow the people to see how true beauty comes from within. Thank you for reading about the great contributions for a Reality Show in the making.

Clip from Hannukah Song: Yes, we can!


Using Your Creativity!!


This is something a lot of people run from out of fear. Why? Because when you don't have any one to believe in you than that leaves the most important person to trust in & that is yourself. Faith is something hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. What doe's that mean? That you have to put Faith into practical application in order to see your faith come into reality. The thoughts that you have sometimes have to be applied within yourself first in order for the Laws Of Nature to play a major role in bringing your thoughts into reality.

First you have to fight Fear with Faith & than seal it with Truth. So you have to believe in yourself first in order to fight off all fear & use the truth as your weapon. That means don't let anything or anyone stop you from reaching for your dreams because they say dreams truely concieve truth. So dreams become a thought, than thoughts become action & then thats when everything comes to fruition.
