Cristy Joy's Blog

It has been a while since I blogged, seemingly.

I’m really excited about this new camera that I have and I am having a lot of fun making Video Blogs (Vlogs) about my life and experiences. I think that life is like a documentary and I want you all to see what I go through as an artist, because just like everybody else, it’s a unique experience.

Integrity is very important to me, in every aspect of my life.
Every choice I make needs to be for the right reasons and has to feel like it’s the right move. It has to feel good to me.
I make it a point to keep it real as best as I can, to be honest and up-front, and of course to have fun.

Everybody has their own path in this profession, and what may work for one may not for another.
A part of me wishes that I would have moved to Los Angeles a long time ago, but I am grateful to be here now, and I’m really excited about the future of everything in my life.

I’m loving this journey and I am having a blast documenting it here online for everybody to see.

Besides being an entertainer, I’m also somewhat of an internet/gadget geek. Ever since I was a kid and programmed a Lego Robot using the language BASIC on an Apple IIe desktop, computers have been a major part of my life.
Needless to say, I am throughly enjoying the convergence of Hollywood and the internet, and am getting more of a grasp on it every day. This has also been a lot of fun for me.

Just a couple of days ago I was broadcasting LIVE for a few hours online via my webcams at home, and had over 10,300 viewers throughout the course of the evening. It was awesome and so much fun.

I tend to get a little bit silly over there… and do some “impromptu comedy”, if you will

I remember when I was a kid I watched this movie that had Fred Savage in it.. and he was working as a video game tester.. or he was in a video game tournament.. something like that.
I remember thinking to myself “Wow, I want to try that one day.”
This week, I am making that childhood dream come true, and for 3 days I am working as a video game tester.
I know this isn’t performance related, but I’m really excited about it.

On that note, my dream webseries is getting closer to its first shoot date. It’s actually loosely based on reoccurring childhood dreams that I used to have. I’m really excited about this and I love the script.
My friend/writer and I are both eager to get started, it’s just a matter of working out the timing. Hopefully we can work it out before June. I think that would make a most excellent birthday present – my very little own pilot
It’s my dream role as an actress. Pretty cool stuff.

Ciners is wrapped and my multiple shoot dates ended up in a single episode which you can watch right here if you haven’t already yet:

Still in pre-production with the other comedy webseries and the latest word is that we are slated to begin shooting in May! Yay May! LOL

I love it. The more days that I am acting/shooting on a set, the happier I am.

I recently had two drum auditions, which I made Video Blogs (Vlogs) about – http://tinyurl.com/CristyJoyVlog11 and http://tinyurl.com/CristyJoyVlog13

I have a friend who is a really brilliant and busy cinematographer/photographer and is interested in doing a photo shoot with me. I have another friend who is a makeup artist.
I’m hoping we can all coordinate our schedules to do a shoot… I’ve been back and forth with the two of them the last month or so.
Hopefully we can get this shoot done by the end of May. I think that would be cool. I won’t give away too many details but I will say that you will see a side of me that you normally do not see

Anyway, that’s about all for now. I’m very excited, inspired, and happy about everything.. and just wanted to do a quick little written update to let you know what is going on. To keep you abreast
Thanks for reading!

Peace, Love, Inspiration,
Cristy Joy
