This was the trailer my director, Bryan Hopkins, posted awhile ago for our short film, “Qing Lou Nu”, which is now apparently making the festival rounds. I hope it’s accepted to at least one big one! I haven’t heard anything about it yet, just that he was starting the submission process.
My IMDB page is officially up now, too, thanks to QLN getting its own IMDB page.
On other artistic fronts, I’ve been working hard on my photography and have worked as a PA on a few smaller projects, along with doing featured extra work on a couple music videos and Trivial Pursuits, a film that was shot in Ann Arbor this past summer. None of these projects are out yet, but I will post links when they are.
I have just spent a little bit of time spreading my internet tentacles out. I now have a LinkedIn account and my own Google profile. My Google search results are also improving. Right now, on the top 10 results, #1 is the LinkedIn for all “Cindy Chu” names, and upon clickthrough I’m #1! Also on the Google search results, I turn up at #3 with my Facebook profile and #6 with this blog. Google profiles show up at the bottom of this first page of search results, and mine was at the top of the list! Internet takeover mission is going very well. Remember my name, I will be going places in the acting industry if I’ve got anything to say about it! Thanks for reading and as always,
When I was first getting into breakdancing, my new best friend and I decided to fly out to LA for Freestyle Session, the 10th Anniversary of it. It’s a huge bboy jam put on by Cros1. The first day we got to the event, we showed up a little bit late, it had already started, and we went to find our friends and claim a cypher spot on the floor. As soon as we had made our rounds and said our hellos to old friends and found our group, this girl walked up to me with a camera crew behind her, tapped me on the shoulder and asked if she could take some photos of me. Of course I grabbed at the chance and said, “YES!” right away, and followed her up to the balcony where they had a photo set up with lights and everything. They had me sign a waiver, or model-release, didn’t tell me what the show was about, and Maria had me start out with some simple cute poses to highlight my cute outfit. I even had interstitial keratitis at the time, which I discovered later with my opthalmologist was an allergic reaction to new contacts, so I was wearing an eyepatch on one eye! So as I’m posing, I’m getting bored of looking cute and I tell her I know some cool bgirl freezes, which she gets really excited about, and I start doing cool poses for her. I was mad stylin’, too, in my mom’s vintage 70s swimsuit and my new neon green 25 year anniversary limited edition freestyle reeboks.
Anyway, you can see the vh1 blog post about my episode here. Unfortunately the video clip I was in is no longer up on their website. SMH. Oh well! But I am featured in the first photo at the top of the blog post, so that’s nice.
The page is slowly coming together, it’s off to a rough start. Unfortunately it is my first real web page and I never took any art classes and only had a very basic web design course. You’ll have to forgive my nOObishness.
But please check it out and let me know what you think.
Hi everyone, I’ve been busy but I have great news. I am the star in an indie short directed and written by Bryan Hopkins, who wrote, directed and starred in “Sleepful Painless”. I play an Asian prostitute who craves a normal life and the love that comes with that, but unfortunately I have a family that is relying on me and this is the life that I have fallen into. So when a new, unsuspecting Patron (played by the up and coming Axel Harney) comes to see me and is smitten, things take a turn for the worse. You can check out the script at Flood Films and Media.
We have a great cast and crew, and I can’t wait for the production to be finished so that I can add to my reel.
I also just got signed with Charlie’s Talent Agency in Michigan. You can check out my acting resume at Charlie’s website.
I am also looking forward to when “Whip It!” finishes post-production so that I can see if I made it into the final cut!
