About me: Aspiring screenwriter/director (heh heh heh), still doing the entry-level shuffle in the film industry. Check out my reviews at wildsidecinema.com
Who I'd like to meet: People with similar interests and/or personalities. Eccentrics, intellectuals, anarchists/libertarians, introverts. Buppies. Old schoolmates. Succubi. Attractive and intelligent women; it helps if you're willing to make the first move. But I do not tolerate head games. Ladies who give to the needy, not the greedy. And I'd love to converse with Whit Stillman and Quentin Tarantino. And Kim Morgan. Also Aimee Graham, wherever she may be. Heather Graham I wouldn't mind either.
Darling As my MySpace friend, I am including you in something exciting--I just won the SILVER SCREEN ACTORS SHOWCASE AWARD from the NEVADA FILM FESTIVAL for my new legit FEATURE FILM! NATASHA KIZMET: THE MOVIE! It has been called BORAT MEETS CANDY and I want your feedback, and the feedback of your MySpace friends! You would be doing me a big favor if you would post this comment so people would know to go the the "My Videos" section of my profile to watch the trailer and the other scenes I have posted. This is my market research as to how well we have done. The film is being shopped as we speak by a major film agent, and we are entering it in Film Festivals! This is exciting, and thanks SO MUCH for your help!!
If you want to help market the film, or get on the list to order the DVD when it comes out at a discount, email me at natasha.kizmet.the.movie@gmail.com
Also,my movie features a sequence with a Belly Dancing show that I did under my belly dancing alter ego of Raya--TEMPTATION OF BELLY DANCE. It has been called the most artistic and sensual live belly dance DVD ever!! Please have a look, and visit the DVDs web site!
We have not forgotten about you, James. In fact, it's delightful how many commonalities we share. What are you up to these days? Cheers, Laura & your friends at twilightwomen
