As some of you know, I do special FX make up, generally for short no budget films and have been doing so for 2 years now. Its something I love but very hard to get a break in a career like that as so many people are in the same position!
Yesterday i got a call from a girl I had worked with before asking if I would like to go and help out with 200 zombies today, so , as usual I jumped at the chance to get involved. Later on yesterday I then found out what the film was and have just got back from a 12 hour day on set for Zombie Diaries 2. OK, so those of you outside of the UK probably haven't heard of the first one, but it will be the first film I have worked on that is guaranteed a UK cinema release! I have seen some of my films on the big screen but only at specialist events so this is quite a biggy for me!
Plus, of course, being available at short notice and being super helpful today has put me in touch with some good contacts (like they say, it's not what you know, but who you know!)
So I will even get to go to a proper posh premiere in London and see my name on screen!!
Very excited as the chief make up artist has asked me back for more filming next week so he was obviously pleased with my work today

Sorry, as it is completly off topic but wanted to share my joy!!
