If I could be one character from the films we reviewed on RR which would I be?

I think if I had to be any character from the movies we reviewed so far I think I would want to be one of the D.E.B.S. girls. It sounds like fun being a super secret government crime fighting team. They also have fun gadgets and who wouldn't want to hang out with those girls all the time. I would be down for being a D.E.B.S.

The other characters I would probably be would be would be either characters that Sharon Stone plays in Basic Instincts or If these Walls Could Talk Two. First off because the character in Basic Instincts is cool, sophisticated and hot. She's also a writer which I think is awesome. In If These Walls Could Talk Two Sharon Stone plays a normal lesbian in a married couple situation which is adorable. It seems like Sharon Stone and Ellen have a very fun, enjoyable relationship, so she seems like a great character to be.. or perhaps I would want to be Ellen whose married to Sharon Stone.... either way works for me.
Thanks Brittany for coming up with a cool question for this weeks topic. If anyone who is reading this thinks of a fun topic for us to answer let us know and we'll make it the next week's topic.

The Short Film that started it all

Here is the film that started in all for us. It was a film for a 72 hour film competition and it ended up leading to the RR show which of course lead to everything else.

My Favorite Moment

Well, you can't go wrong with letting your cast start drinking at 11am. Yes, there was beer in that bottle kids. Other favorite moments, every time Danielle spoke you never knew what was going to come out of her mouth. In episode 3 where her and Rina are talking off camera I literally had to go into the other room because I couldn't stop laughing and I kept ruining the takes.

And the last episode, I'll try not to spoil it, but I give Denae's character a lap dance and I couldn't stop laughing while doing it.

Overall, the shoot was a lot of fun, a lot of eating, and a lot of drinking. The way all shoots should be.

Love and miss my ladies,

Katie

I. Had. The time of my liiiiife...

I think the funniest moments for me always circulated around Christa's monologues. I remember having to literally close my eyes and and ears, or walk into the other room, to avoid convulsing in laugher that would get picked up by the mic. !FUN TIMES!

Speaking of microphones... when I episode 2 was shot (the big "coming out" scene outdoors), I remember muttering "ho bag" at the end of my lines. A little extra improv that I didn't think would get picked up. It did. Re-shoot. Oh, and Denae sitting in the sand and listening to her iPod was epic! Loved it!

I also remember being given a bottle of JD that I alone managed to kill over two weekends of shooting. Drinks for breakfast, anyone?

Good times, good people! Can't wait to start more projects with all these lovely ladies!

Denae's Favorite Moment of Making Gay Magic/Retro Reviewing

Do you have one particularly favorite moment on the set of Making Gay Magic or RetroReview show if so what was it?

Honestly the entire production of Making Gay Magic was my favorite moment. It was the first time I really got to sit down and bond with the entire cast and crew. All of the encounters we had prior to this shoot were always quick and dirty (wink, wink-totally kidding).

Since we shot the series over a period of two weekends (and an additional day) it was pretty much like a productive/silly slumber party. I don't think I've ever laughed so much.

One of my fondest memories is when we were shooting a scene that included Katie & Brittany being romantic and falling onto a bed, but during this particular take both Katie and Brittany wacked their head against the wall (Danielle needs to upload this). It was HYSTERICAL!

In terms of Retro Reviewing my fondest memory was filming "Loving Annabelle" and Danielle was singing to the projector. That cracked me up. I also loved the corny slow dance between Katie and I.

My Favorite Moment of Making Gay Magic

There were a couple of scenes that didn't make the final cut that I absolutely loved.
One of my favorite lines was from Denae when she said, "I should know I slept with everyone here, want to know which ones were crap?" That was one of my favorite moments, but sadly it didn't make it into the final cut.

I also enjoyed the moment that Danielle and I had with the jelly on the bread. I had a lot of fun with that scene. OH and let's not forget the scenes when Danielle and Katie were cuddling in bed while I was shooting video of them. I love the idea of the filmmaker in bed with the actors in the film.

What were everyone else's favorite moments?

Katie.. we miss you already!

Katie is sadly leaving for Los Angeles today =( But we know she'll rock it on the West Coast and spread all of the lovely Gay Magic out there. Good luck and Best Wishes, Katie! Hope to see you soon!
