MONSTERS AND GHOSTS!

So... 2010... it's started out pretty good. Just wanted to write briefly about a couple of projects the family has been involved in. First of all, Jaden Amara was asked to be the main girl in a "Toys for Tots" commercial. It's supposed to air next year around Christmas. She did pretty well. A day of filming and done. Who wouldn't want that pretty face to be their star? Then the rest of us... our buddy Quinn who is a student at Columbia in NYC is studying film and had to make a 5 minute movie. I think it' s called "It's Natural to be Afraid". (or maybe that was a working title - I don't know) Anyway, Carson was the star of that. He played a kid who was afraid of a monster in his room. Clarissa played his sweet, attentive mother and I played his terrible bi-polar step- dad who eventually suffers a horrible, bloody, off-screen death. It was a great time and Carson, well, he's a natural... even though his sister, after hearing his first scream of the movie said to me, "he's not a very good actor." What a snot! So, maybe it'll go on to win in some film festival and maybe it'll just be a learning experience. Either way, there's not much opportunity for this type of thing here in corn-country so we were thankful for the chance to do this. All this acting from my children made me realize that they are at that age... it's time for me to resurrect my ghost musical, "Mr. Silver's Children." They would play such wonderful dead kids!
