Want A Role In My Movie?

For those of you who watched my live chat last night on UStream, I announced that I’m looking for a few extra roles to fill for the movie I shot in January. Except I don’t want “actors.” I want YOU.

I can’t give away what happens in the film, but I need your help to finish it. Over the next two months, I’ll be detailing several different ways you can do that (so if you prefer not being in front of the camera, that’s ok!). Anyone who chooses to be involved on-camera will, of course, receive credit and more importantly, an invite to the premiere!

First and foremost, I need 5-10 internet savvy folks to make homemade video blogs for me, responding to the BELOW POST (titled The Search for Katie). If you’re not comfortable being in front of the camera, simply comment on the post below (you don’t have to use your real name if you don’t want) or write a blog somewhere about the documentary film that I’m now making and send me the link.

Remember: the post below is not real. It is a fictional premise to the film, which was shot documentary style, following a friend of mine (Liz) on the search for her missing sister (Katie). In the film, Liz has strong evidence that Katie was taken by a cult-like organization. In the opening sequence of the film, Liz and I are reviewing the comments and video responses to my blog post. That’s where YOU all come in. You don’t have to use your real name, or play yourself, just send me a video response to my post.

Maybe you were a former YAC member who doesn’t like this ‘bad press.’ Perhaps you had a family member who joined a cult and you sympathize with Liz. Or maybe you’re just a ‘Taryn fan’ and you want to offer any help along the way.  Feel free to be creative – but not too wacky – after all, it has to appear real. My only other guideline is that you cannot be a current member of the YAC. :-) Make sense?

Make sure you upload your videos to YouTube, and send the link to taken@pinkhamsta.com. If you password protect the video, make sure you send me the password so I can view it!

If you have questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below.

Typical Messages from Fans and “Anti-Fans...

Today I was going through some of my youtube messages (I do sift through them all…eventually!) and thought these three messages were funny because they  were in this order, and are fit the 3 categories of typical messages I receive from fans, viewers, and well, haters.

___________________________________________________________

MESSAGE #1 from JaiKayCee – The I-Hate-You/Hope-You-Die Message:
YOU SUCK
YOU SUCK
You are ugly! Your videos suck! QUIT YOUTUBE!

MESSAGE #2 from SportsMan10 – The I-Love-You-But-Can’t-Have-You Message:
Hoping this is truly you…
If this is really you…

I saw a video of yours and thought you were the most beautiful girl in the world. I searched further to find out who you really were. Then came the hard truth. I knew that all hope was lost for me when I read your life’s work.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but it seems I have no other choice. I can honestly say that I believe your one of the very best of all God’s creations. I hope to follow you throughout your life to witness the many great things you’ll accomplish. This may sound corny, but I will wait until the next life to meet you if I have to. Thanks for being who you are.

MESSAGE #3 from iEnjoiSnowboarding – The I-Am-A-Horndog Message:
Dear Miss Taryn Southern
You are sexy as f*ck and need to message me back.
Im pretty sure we need to get together and have some frisky sex.
That’ll be all, talk to you soon babe.

___________________________________________________________

So now y’all have an idea of what hits my inbox on a semi daily basis. Lol. Gotta love the internet :)

And PS – To all of you who really do write me sweet, encouraging messages, it means the world…and makes all of the nasty messages worth it!!

Talk to you soon,

Taryn

Hott 4 Hill 2 Response

Hey guys! It feels like it’s been forever since I blogged up here (I guess it has been almost a week! yikes!)  I’ve been sick and a little under the weather, so it took a little motivation to get to work today.

I wanted to let you know that although Hott 4 Hill 2 hasn’t seen that many hits on YouTube, on MySpace we have 150,000 hits! I also got some really awesome comments in my inbox (and 1,000 friend requests….OMG!) so I just wanted to share a few of them with you:

Hey just call me a fan of your video, hott4hill. thats fuckin awesome dude. im not one for politics, im military. i let the politicians fight their own war. but that video had me bustin a gut dude. keep singin.

You didn’t say much about John….. It seems no one does. That’s ok, but why not? We should focus on the issues and not how cool Obama is. So vote Mcain!!! Love Mike…P.S Your Video was good! I’m glad there are young people who care. Even if we don’t agree!
