Wrapped on The Disco Exorcist

November30

discowrappedIt’s been a long journey full of lots of laughs, but I am finally wrapped on my 5th Scorpio Film Releasing film, The Disco Exorcist. I would say that the last day of filming was definitely one of the most fun. The last scenes to be shot were those that took place at the orgy – that’s right, I said orgy. Yes, that means lots of naked men and women walking around enjoying their nakedness. The extras chosen for this scene were really fantastically good sports. Everyone had a great time and was able to keep a straight face and make it through, to spite all the possible silliness that could come around from so much nudity. And in the midst of it all, Michael Thurber, making his film debut, gave an absolutely wonderful performance as Marque. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Michael previously in the play, Postmortem. He is always an absolute pleasure to work with – immensely talented and an absolute sweetheart.

Roller Girls with Riffles

November16

1970sThat is the name of the fake porn film that we shot for The Disco Exorcist. Who knew that being on roller skates for two days would be such a blast! In the film I play Amoreena Jones, a porn star and so of course you need to see what happens on a typical day at work! Well, ok, this day ended up not being such a typical day at work, but it was certainly a lot of fun to shoot.

No Pants!

September4

That pretty much sums up the most recent day of shooting on The Disco Exorcist. Nudity galore! We shot 6 scenes in the span of one day, which included 4 locations. Of course it’s nice when all four locations are conveniently located right next to each other on a sound stage! :) And some fantastic sets they were!

Busy, Busy, Busy

There are so many great things going on, I don’t know where to start!

I had a fantastic shoot a few days ago with Kevin and Shanna MacDonald for The Witching Hour. This is a project that we had done a short shoot for back in April to put together a trailer to get some more funding to continue the project. And with names like Michael Madsen, William Forsythe, Tony Todd, and Tony Morran being part of it, how could anyone pass that up?! :)

From Virginal Sacrifice to Porn Star

April5

What a fantastic week! It started off with a meet and greet with for The Witching Hour – a new film from Kevin MacDonald, which meant getting together for drinks with the crew and meeting some of the cast members who were going to be involved in the project, most excitedly: William Forsythe.

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!

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!
