Shock Festival and Gore Noir Magazine

November21

Had a great time hanging out with The Black Dahlia Haunting crew during Shock Fest and the Gore Noir shoot last weekend! Dahlia opened the festival as the first feature to be shown and I was really impressed with a lot of the other shorts that were shown! There as definitely a common theme of “good guys” turning out to be the bad guys, and also quite a few white trash hicks, but a lot of them were extremely well done! Congrats to Devanny for winning Best Actress for Dahlia and to Brandon for winning Best Director!

My First Con – Rapture Horror Expo

October16

sarah nicklinFor my first con, Rapture Horror Expo was lots of fun! It was great having Devanny Pinn there to show me the ropes. This was a first year con, which supposedly did really well for its first year, but was a little slow compared to some others – or so I’m told. Most of the time was spent just hanging out and talking with other actors.

San Francisco Indie Film Fest

February11

Since San Fran is only a 6-7 hour drive from LA, Michael, Alex and myself along with tow of our new friends, Donnie and Sara, went up for the screening of The Disco Exorcist. We arrived just in time for the showing on Saturday. The audience reaction to the film was great – laughs, claps, gasps :) And I even think I had a fan as there was an extra “whoot” for my name in the opening credits haha! We stayed for a Q&A after the showing and mostly people were completely amazing that this film was made on such a small budget. Of course the questions of unions came up and we also gave out some business cards after.

Exhumed Premiere

November17

I was so completely blown away by Exhumed.

Michael and I flew back to New England for its premier and we were so glad that we did. The flight to get there sucked since even though we were there waiting at the gate and I had talked to the man at the desk when we got there, we (Michael, myself and another girl) never heard them announce that our plane was boarding, so even though they knew that we were there, the flight left without us. So we had to get on standby for another direct flight to Boston a few hours later. As it started boarding we look at the standby list and see we are numbers 10 and 11 in line. No way we were going to make that flight. We continue to wait and thus far 18 people haven’t shown up. They paige the missing passengers (as they should have done for us on the original flight) and 7 people show up….and only 7. Amazingly, we got on that flight.

Zombie Fashion Show

October25

What a fun way to gear up for Halloween!

I never claim to be much of a model nor is it something I’m really that interested in pursuing, which is probably good given that I’m 5’3″, but I actually got to do something I never in my life thought I would – walk down a “runway” at a fashion show! Of course, this fashion show was a little different – it was a zombie fashion show :)

Screening Calendar

October4

My goodness! If you’re in New England, I feel like I should almost put together a “season pass” for all of the screenings that are coming up of films that I’m in. I wish that I could make it to all of these (what a time to switch coasts!), but sadly I will not be able to. However, these are some really great films and could use your support! So please, if you’re in New England and can make it – take a night out to check out some great indie films:

Where to start….. I had such a great time during these productions it’s hard to really pick out specific moments. I don’t think I’ve worked on two productions that overlapped like these did. The majority of the cast of Normal were going to be rehearsing the two days before shooting started, however I was set to shoot Debeaked during those two days…. so I went to RI for rehearsal for Normal the two days before everyone else and did a separate rehearsal since most of my scenes are only with a few actors, then went to Chicago to shoot Debeaked for two days, and then back to RI to start shooting Normal… made me think I really need to look into some sort of frequent flier program! (more…)

Hello from Texas!! I am officially wrapped on the feature The Fetish Set. I spent most of this film either with only one eye as I get pretty beaten up and get this awesome swollen eye prosthetic, or in a little girl outfit with pigtails. This is the first film of a 3-part series, that will hopefully get made depending on the success of this first one – so when it comes out you have to watch it! :)

sarah nicklin seducing collisionsOne of the quickest shoots I’ve been on – finished a feature in I think it was 8 days (non consecutive). The film is very stylized and dialogue heavy. Think A Clockwork Orange meets Clerks, only the focus is more on sexual comedy than stoner comedy or violence. (more…)

One part of our craft as actors is to look the part for the roles that we can play. Now this doesn’t always mean being beautiful and chiseled – some people are better as “the creepy guy” and keep themselves waif-like, or “the funny fat guy” whose entire career is dependent on them keeping those extra pounds. For me, I don’t really fit into either of this, so for me, being fit is an important part of “the package”. (more…)

sarah nicklinTo join SAG or to remain non-union? That is the question.

This is something I’ve been considering very seriously recently. As anyone who knows me or has read any of my other posts, I have been very proudly non-union for a long time, even though I’ve been eligible to join for around 5 years now. I’m at the point where I think being non-union might actually be a hindrance to me. (more…)

Wrapped on a small part in a feature and a short. While working on Alice D on the east coast, I was lucky enough to be able to squeeze in two other projects while being there. (more…)

I am wrapped on the feature film Alice D, the next film from by Jessica Sonneborn and Kristina Page, starring Al Snow and Kane Hodder.

Love, love, loved being on this set!! The best part of course was that I got to spend over a week with Michael again since he had been out of town for over a month at this point working on The Inhabitants. Everyone was living together in this amazing mansion in Barrington RI for the duration of the shoot and it was a blast! Most of the cast and crew knew each other (all though there were some new faces too), either from other projects, or just from having mutual friends, so it was great to see so many of these wonderful people again, and back in my old state of RI no less! We even ended up randomly bumping into our very good and talented friend Michael Thurber one night at the mall while looking for some clothes for costuming, and some of my friends from home such as William Decoff has parts in the film, so it was great to see him and his son Timmy and all my other awesome friends who came out to be extras!
