Shoot in The Little Dollhouse Co.

The OCAD (yet untitled) thesis project I'm working in shot on location today at Toronto's "The Little Dollhouse Company".  I was BLOWN AWAY by the level of detail that went into the items in the store!  And I would love to share some of the memorable sights...

I couldn't resist this one..."Victoria's Farmhouse"  Lovely!

A little creepy...

Even creepier...

My co-star's name tag.  True story!

The screening has been confirmed for April 12th at the Royal!  More details to follow...

Untitled OCAD Film in Production

I am lucky enough to be involved in an Ontario College of Art and Design Thesis film project created by Integrated media students Michael Fong and Kat Klein.  Its currently untitled, but I can tell you that I play a woman with a serious case of OCD that becomes fixated on making the perfect dollhouse.  We shot two days last weekend in the basement apartment location and will shoot one pick-up day this weekend and a day in The Little Dollhouse Company next week.  The shooting so far has been super-fun.  The crew is great to work with, and the material is so much fun to play with.  Mike and Kat even made sure there was food and craft that I could eat on set by using recipes from my Gluten/Dairy Freedom blog!  I was super-impressed, and incredibly touched that they would go so far to be sure I felt taken care of!  Here are some pics from set:

"You better not be un-straightening my carpet fringe! Please don't touch that, or sit there, or come near me.  You should probably just leave"

Day one on set started off Grrrrreat with Blueberry Whole Almond Muffins!

And continued with a tasty lunch of Pear/Pecan Salad and Veggie-Wrapped Sliders!

Inside the dollhouse was the most amazing collection of miniature Tolkien books!

The kitchen of the dollhouse (before I destroy it..you gotta watch the movie!)

The bedroom of the dollhouse with a fully functional mini dresser with drawers

...Frame, ..Action. CUT! Vic, get off your phone!!! "Its for the scene I swear!"

Lunch on Sunday was divine! Zesty Salmon Salad and Spinach pizza made from Jonny's Famous Gluten-Free/Yeast-Free Pizza Dough!

What a fun shoot!  I can't wait to do it again, and get closer to seeing the final product.  There will be a screening in the Spring for the OCAD thesis films, location TBA...
