what you think.. Home and Away and Shortland street are, to be perfectly frank, horrible shows. It saddens me that a position working as a nurse or doctor or abused druggie secret mafia angel princess abused lover bomb maker on Shortland Street is pretty much the top job for New Zealand actors at the moment. If you are currently an actor in New Zealand, I beg you, fly far, far away or at least come to christchurch to meet Anna and I who will debate with you the merits of turtle wax.
Actually, just fly away, far, far away.
I'm writing this after my first professionally amateur film experience. Being filmed on stage is an entirely different thing to waiting in line for hours in 50's apparel to be sprayed with blood and dirt as a 40 foot mutant zombie huhu grub attacks.
That's right everyone! I was an extra in the action epic, Huhu Attack!
I was also lucky enough to be near the spray of blood and dirt, and I had a very nice vintage cardigan (which was probably ruined by the end of the day from red food coloring mixed with coffee, the best blood) it was pretty awesome anyway, and I had several friends to wait around with. Christchurch acting drama nerd crew ftw!
Despite being such a small city, Christchurch does have some acting talent. Actually I won't name any names in case they google themselves and yield the name of this blog and figure out who I am, but one or two of the Court Jesters is/are pretty amazing awesome and although she probably finds her job awesomley fun I feel like she/they deserve better pay or, I don't know, more opportunities. Fame isn't necessary, but being in a big budget production would be pretty awesome. Holy snack rats, imagine being in a huge broadway show. Awesome.
