A Nice Surprise

I just read the nicest and sweetest email from Chris Hendricks who plays Jared. He said he LOVES my blogs because I "pour my heart out". He said so many nice things and it felt good to get such a great email from someone whose work I respect. Chris was such a professional, and a joy to work with. I remember when he read for us, he nailed the part just by walking in the room. I strongly believe in fate but I also believe in free will. All our actors have been so wonderful during this process and I often think that fate brought them our way but it was our will that chose them.



So thank you Mr. Hendricks for the kind words, the enthusiasm and the encouragement. I look forward to working with you again.

ps

If anyone else likes the blogs or the podcasts let me know, feedback is always appreciated.

xoxo,
Lucy

About The Three Shorts

Christine Le wrote and directed the 1st story Love 10 to 1.
The first story explores the life of a 29-year-old virgin, Jenny, who desperately wants to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday. As she encounters one loser after another on dates, Jenny pines after her boss, Dustin. While at her grandmother’s retirement home, Jenny learns a powerful lesson from her grandmother about sex and the meaning of life.

The second story revolves around Shane, the lead singer of the L.A. rock band, Dirty Virgin. Shane has her pick of admirers but it’s her roommate Dustin she wants to be with. Shane confesses her feelings on Jackie and Jared’s show but when Dustin meets Cali, Shane’s shot at love starts to dwindle. With Dirty Virgin about to embark on a world tour, will Dustin realize that he’s the object of Shane’s affections? Will they risk their friendship to give this Love Song a chance?

Laura Somers wrote and directed Diving Lessons.
The final story picks up where Love 10 to 1 left off, but from the perspective of Jim, the guitarist of Dirty Virgin. Jim sees Jenny at a swimming pool, trying desperately to overcome her fear of diving. In fact, he finds out that she’s making a list of everything that she’s afraid of and trying to overcome them, one by one. He is instantly smitten and tries to convince her that he’s not just a rock star who ‘loves ‘em and leaves ‘em’. Can a rock star find love with a virgin?
