Asshole Robot Teaser

Check out this teaser for "A$$hole Robot" put together for me by writer/director/producer Eric Castleton. Watch out for the completed film in 2011.

Hello Again

As you may notice, my last blog entry was May 29th. Yes, that's right. Shortly thereafter my blog efforts were abandoned to other pursuits that I will describe herein. But first, the short story: I moved to LA, adopted a second puppy, got married, landed an agent, earned my SAG eligibility and performed in a play.

The story starts in July, when I decided it was time to escape northern Cali for the prospects in LA. Shortly after arriving, I joined The Groundlings School for some Improv training and started scene study classes at the Ivana Chubbuck Studio with Michael Monks. I also landed a political spot named "Let Me Decide." Check out the footage below.

Shortly after, I also filmed a small role in a Garnier Commercial for break.com. Check it out here:

After submitting and meeting with some agencies, I signed with Howard Talent West for commercial and print representation. I earned my Taft-Hartley in August filming a project for www.lostzombies.com. A short version of the film has been sent to Sundance and a longer version will be out after the new year. Check out some clips here:

Shortly before the wedding, Chris and I decided it was time to add another member to our puppy family. Raddish, a chihuahua mix came and joined Ozwald in the Honett household. Ozzie loves having a little brother and they are endless entertainment for one another.

Most of September was spent up in Northern California preparing for our wedding at Camp Arroyo. The weekend was absolutely amazing. We had so much fun with all of our family and friends, and the ceremony and reception was more than I ever could have asked for. Thanks Evan from Oui, Three Queens for our awesome hair and makeup! (http://www.ouithreequeens.com/). Check out some pics from our wonderful photographers at Memoire Studio www.memoirestudio.com/blog.

We've been back in LA less than a month and I just completed a run of the show Marat/Sade at the Underground Theater in Hollywood, my first theatre production in too long. How great was it to be back on stage!

Now that life is starting to feel like it is getting back to normal and we are getting settled, I'm looking forward to fully refocusing on my career. Stay tuned in the next few months for a newly-edited reel, updates to my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/rebeccahonett), and more regular blog updates;)

Long Away, but not Astray

I'm sorry I haven't been back in a while. But rest assured - my time was not wasted. I've been working on my very first acting reel. (see below). It's self-edited (yes, this means I learned a whole heck of a lot about file formats, exporting, HD codecs, etc), and while I will have more footage to add shortly (I've been filming lots and lots), I think its a far start. However, I've seen it so many times I am far from being objective and I would love to get your feedback, and don't worry -- I'm a big girl.

Catching Up

Today is the first day in a long time that I haven't had to be anywhere at a certain time, looking good and ready to go. I'm celebrating the day by not washing my hair, wearing no makeup, running errands, and spending some quality catch-up time at the local cafe. I spent a good part of the morning finishing my taxes and sorting through my calendar for the next month. Whew! It's going to be a busy one, but no complaints here;) The sun is shining and I am lucky enough to be working more than hoping-to-be-working. Speaking of working, tomorrow I've booked a print ad and Friday Robots starts filming!

A short clip from Frank Caruso, PI is up on youtube.  I'm not really used to seeing myself on film yet, so I'm trying to hold back any judgments and just enjoy: 

This day has been a good opportunity to catch my breath a bit and celebrate my recent accomplishments. I've been necessarily selfish with my time and energy lately though, and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with my family tonight. Perhaps I'll even cook dinner!
