WASSUP EN LA LIVE TAPING!!!

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile since I last posted but I have some great news! Wassup En LA filmed our pilot this past Saturday March 23, 2013! It has been a long 2 1/2 years since I first auditioned in the late summer 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz0UH4HgcuU&feature=share&list=UUUwpOz7dqvbXtR4bP0YqO0A
and was cast in April 2011.

After months of auditions and a year later, the whole family was cast. 

The next step was finding funding to shoot the pilot. We attempted to raise funds through Kickstarter but was shy 15k. Finally, a year later we secured an investor and was able to shoot our official pilot!!! Through our faith in GOD and persistence the Producers and the cast never gave up! There were tough times but we all believed in this project. GOD has a way of working things out when it's time so you have to let go and let GOD. GOD has truly blessed us with an amazing show and talented people. I am so happy and blessed to have such an amazing producers who believe in me enough to give me a chance. I am blessed to have such an incredible group of talented actors to work aside and our chemistry was just instaneous! This project will make history and now all we need is everyone support to see this story on your screens! Continue to spread the word about Wassup En LA and keep up with us! Our final step is finding a home (Network) that will give us the opportunity to continue our stories. Thank you everyone for your support of this show, stay tuned cuz it's just the beginning!

XOXO, KEILA

WHAT'S GOING ON???

Hello people! I hope everyone is enjoying their hot summer so far, well I decided to do a new post to fill you all in on what I've been up to. I did an internet clip for an inspirational website called, Spirit Clips. The title of the project is, Move In Day and I play Bethany the peppy character. I am waiting for the project to be completed but I encourage all of you to check out the site, www.spiritclips.com . This June, I finished filming for the indie comedy, Real Heroes LA!

I had a BLAST with the cast and crew. This was my first full feature film and I couldn't have been any happier nor blessed. It'll be due out next year and I will update you on the movie.

I have recently been cast in a short film titled, Release and I play the strong-willed character Monica. The film is about a young college student suffering from depression and self-mutilation due to a childhood of mental and sexual abuse. Currently, we are raising funds and it is greatly appreciated if you can donate and tell your friends and family. Remember anything counts! http://igg.me/p/159046 DONATE here.

In regards to the status of Wassup En LA, we are aiming to shoot this Fall however, we are seeking funding for the project as well. Your donation means a lot and we would love for you to pass the good word around! Here is the site where you can donate: http://kck.st/T1rLUq

It's 2012...2011 is officially OVER!!!!

But before we continue on with 2012 let's take a look at 2011, shall we? 2011 was a great year for me with some minor ups and downs; nonetheless it was great professionally and personally. Here's a brief look at my own 2011! Enjoy :)

JANUARY 2011
I traveled to New York City for the first time ever and it was an AMAZING, UNFORGETTABLE experience! I was also able to see one of my biggest musical influences, PRINCE!

FEBRUARY 2011
I received my FIRST principal role as a dancer on NBC's Parenthood! Although, I was edited out it was my first major credit and I am grateful for the experience. P.S. Don't laugh at my sloppy attempt to black out legal information! I love y'all but I don't know ya like that! :)

MAY 2011
After several months of THREE callbacks, I was finally chosen to play the outgoing, funny character Tawana for the new sitcom comedy, Wassup En LA! It was a warm and sunny day at King Taco...and yes I tore those tacos up!

JUNE 2011
I participated in the AFTRA Radio Plays at the Wells Fargo Theater located at the Gene Autry National Center. Please if you're ever in the area or just want to check out some cool historic stuff, GO THERE! The AFTRA Radio Plays pays tribute to the golden age of radio. Our segment was from the hit radio and television show, Father Knows Best, I voiced the role of Betty. This was my first voice over project and I had so much fun. Our director, Clyde Sacks, was amazing as well as the cast.

EARLY TO LATE SUMMER 2011
I worked regularly on the hit Disney show, Ant Farm, as a student and cheerleader. I had a great time with the crew and cast; very nice people. My best friend on the show was Wacky the Wolf, we would always get into trouble at school! :)

JULY 2011
There is a special organization called, MOCITI, which stands for Men of Color in the Industry. The ambassador of this great organization is Obba Babatunde who spoke at a master class that I attended. It was a very inspirational workshop not only did I get to perform a scene in front of him but meet him as well. I am honored to hear this talented man's wisdom and story of surviving Hollywood. Check out his work, he's done some great things in his career and is still going on strong!

Obba Babatunde is pictured right, sitting down.

AUGUST 2011
One of the funniest female actresses is no doubt Jane Lynch! So when I was set to work the 2011 Do Something Awards and found out that she was hosting I was excited. She is very sweet, nice and extremely funny. I had a great time working the show and watching her.

OCTOBER 2011
I love fashion I believe it is another way of expressing yourself. So I was invited to L.A. Fashion Weekend 2011 and was able to see some great fashion and modeling as well!

My gorgeous friend Elle Drane, she ripped the runway! Check out her work, beautiful!

DECEMBER 2011
We approach the holidays and the end of an amazing year but wait there's more! I auditioned for an independent film and was considered for one of the lead roles! As I said before it is a comedy spoof and I am very excited about this project. More information will be given soon!

Well, I had a great time making this post it definitely brought back memories and the realization of the goals that I've accomplished so far. I hope 2011 was inspirational and worthwhile for you ALL and if not make this year YOUR YEAR! Thanks again so much for checking out the blog I hope you enjoyed it. Happy New Year! XOXO Keila.

TV Fall Line-Up

It's Fall so that means..... NEW SHOWS, NEW SEASON PREMIERES! First, "New Girl" starring Zooey Deschanel is freaking hilarious! The writing is great; they're not desperate for laughs with punchlines or cliche situations. It's fresh, witty and the chemistry just clicks with the cast! Zooey is hilarious and likeable and I always felt that way about her since "Elf" with Will Ferrell! This is a must see show, love it!
"Up All Night" starring Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph. Another comedy that will have you laughing out loud. Christina and Will longing for a "cool" lifestyle plays out so well! We are all guilty of wanting to be cooler than we actually are and some of us will go to the extreme to achieve that! But their awkwardness is what makes it funny to laugh at instead of feeling sorry for the ones who are desperate to feel important. I love the chemistry between the two but Maya Rudolph takes the cake! She is DEFINITELY the shining star of the show! Her over the top, GOD like character is ridiculously funny! Because there are stars who actually behave that way it's like she's almost poking fun at her character! Another, must see show!
"Modern Family" was ANOTHER hit again, anyone surprised? Definitely looking forward to the rest of the season especially with Cam and Mitchell's upcoming baby! Congrats on their Emmy's!
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" starring Larry David, opened up the season with Michael J. Fox! I just CAN'T with this guy! LOL, this is the kind of show where you take a camera, a few people and see what adventures and scenarios come up! It's so simple but brilliant! Michael's cameo was great and I love how they incorporated the Parkinson's disease which is ridiculously hilarious! KUDOS, Larry!
"2 Broke Girls" starring Kat Dennings was definitely a miss for me. I felt like they were trying too hard with the jokes and Kat's character lacked that spark. I get that she's the dead-pan, dry humor, no nonsense, tough Brooklyn girl but nothing grabbed your attention to even LOVE that about her. Beth Behrs plays the other lead and she's the rich, pretty girl who is trying to make it on her own but is having a hard time trying to adjust. Again, I couldn't lock in with her character. I feel like this show has potential but it needs to turn around fast!
Well, there are few more shows I need to check out so stay tuned for more! XOXO Keila
