*Web Spokesmodeling- I did a taping for www.myonlineneighborhood.com.  Now I'm in their database and will be considered by future clients who use video spokesmodels on their community websites.  I had a great time working with the green screen and teleprompter and I hope to do more of these projects soon!

*V05- I was a sampler for V05 haircare, giving out  Extreme Hold Hair Spray and Workable Hair Putty.

*Pepsico- I sampled Pepsico products at the National Black MBA Convention.  This was a fun event with lots of fascinating business professionals from all over the country. 

*NEVER BACK DOWN (Formally know as GET SOME) WRAPS PRODUCTION- I worked the final days of Never Back Down, which were all club scenes.  The movie will be released on August 4, 2008 so be sure to look for me and some of my friends during that final fight scenes inside and outside of the club:

*TOM JOYNER FAMILY REUNION- I worked this event at the Gaylord Palms Resort for Allstate.                                               
 

AUGUST 2007-

*NEVER BACK DOWN- I got a chance to work on the feature film, Never Back Down, which is shooting in Central Florida.  We shot on location in Baldwin Park, FL at a Barnie's Coffee Shop.  I think I'm established in some pretty good shots, so we'll see how much of me makes it into the film.  They'll be shooting here for a little while longer, so I'm hoping to have some more opportunities to work on this project.  Here are some photos from the set:

This was our main shooting location for the day.

Here's a picture of the crew setting up for a crane shot.

*SANYO- I think that the highlight of my summer has been a waterproof digital camera promotion for the Sanyo Xacti at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park!  My partner Eric and I got to play with these awesome cameras all day while demonstrating their features and taking cool shots with people from all over the world:

*AXE- I promoted Clix Body Spray and Boost Shower Gel for Axe in Sam's Club.  

JULY 2007-

*I was cast as Tina in a trailer for an indie film called "Irish Italian Blood."  I worked with Shea Films in Clearwater, FL for 2 days on this project.  The purpose of the trailer is to attract investors to finance the full feature.  My character is a detective who gets shot by a stray bullet.  Check out this picture from the shoot; I'll let you know when the full trailer is available!

*M. Shanken Publications (producers of magazines like Wine Spectator, Impact, Cigar Afficianado) used my services once again!  This time it was for Food Art Magazine at the American Culinary Federation Convention.  It's always a pleasure to represent this company and I look forward to working with them again soon! 

*Dove- I did a 2-day in-store demo for Dove Cream Oils Body Wash at Costco.

*Pepsi 400- I worked two promotions at the Pepsi 400 in Daytona Beach for the US Army and Team Tylenol.  I love working the races in Daytona.  Here are a couple of impromptu shots of myself during the event:

JUNE 2007-

*BEALLS- I just shot a commercial for Bealls through a direct booking!  Look for me in their back-to-school ad campaign as a party goer dancing to FL band Lady Fish!  Here's a shot of the band taken during the commercial:

*My new headshots are here!  At last, I can proudly present my newest headshots from Scot Lerner:

*I'm very excited to have completed my first automotive product specialist gig!  I just finished a program for GM, promoting the 2008 Buick Enclave as a part of their "Street Fleet."  This guerilla marketing campaign gave me a chance to scour the city looking for hot spots with my fellow team members so that we could introduce the public to the Buick's new luxury crossover vehicle, the Enclave. 

There was a lot of memorization involved in this promotion and we were all given giant manuals so that we could learn every single aspect of the vehicle, which enabled us to answer any questions that might come up during the promotion.

I had a blast on this promotion and hope that this leads to more product specialist opportunities in the future!
