Laundry and Laughs

Last year I had the lead in a short film called Laundry, playing a high-haired laundress with a thick New "Yawk" accent. It was a fun film that had a "Clerks" (in an East Village laundromat) kind of feel to it.

We filmed in the wee hours of the night, and a great deal of it was improvised, which is interesting considering I just did some improvisational filmwork for The Onion News Network last week. Ha!

The director, Julia Suo, wanted my character to have a wild and crazy hairdo, so she brought in a hair artist to sculpt my hair each night (it's shown mid-sculpt here). It took about an hour each night and you don't even want to know how much hairspray was used! There are stills of the final 'do on my website: http://www.lauradaniel.net/laundry.htm

And for the full reel, you can catch this quirky little film on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mswi_6z_R6U

Hope you dig it. :)
