July 2006
The RI Fest will be the first time that "Eve" has shown on the East Coast. As for a Texas screening, the "Eve" producer and director are still waiting to hear from the Austin Film Festival....
Alli has been cast in supporting roles for a couple of indie shorts to be filmed in San Antonio: "Froot Loops," as the daughter of the lead, and "How to Survive a Zombie Attack" as a featured zombie. Look for her family and friends to participate in that one, too!
Check out the Burnt Orange Productions website. Alli was an extra in two of its films now in post-production: "Homo Erectus" and "Elvis & Anabelle," which filmed in Texas during April and May. "Elvis & Anabelle" has a particularly good website. The romantic fantasy stars Keith Carradine, Blake Lively, Max Minghella, Joseph Montegna, and Mary Steenbergen.
You can hear Alli, as featured preteen talent, doing some professional voiceover demos for Keith Harter Music, a nationally known recording studio in S.A. Just click on the "voice talent" icon on the right side of KHM's front page, then scroll down to click and listen to Alli's demos. (It works best if you have high-speed net access, of course.)

The new year starts with good news! "Eve of Understanding" will have its world premiere in February at the Sedona Film Festival. Part of the independent feature film was shot in Sedona, Arizona, and the producer and director have some strong family support there. Here is a quote from the festival's website: "Lovers of independent films will celebrate the best in cinematic art, amid unparalleled scenic beauty, Feb. 23-26 in Sedona, Arizona. The occasion is the 12th annual Sedona International Film Festival & Workshop, named the 'Fest to Impress' by MovieMaker Magazine and a top 100 destination for the American Bus Association."
"Eve of Understanding" wasn't selected for Sundance 2006, but it has been submitted to numerous other national and international film festivals, including the 2006 SXSW Film Festival. We'll know by early February if it will be shown at the Austin festival....
Right after the Christmas holiday, Alli and her sister Camie recorded a PSA for the Museum of South Texas History. (Their dad and grandfather also contributed.) The spot has played frequently on KURV-AM 710 in Edinburg, Texas, but you can also hear it here.

Alli, her sister Camie, and mother Kelly were cast as cave people in the new Adam Rifkin comedy, "Homo Erectus." They worked as featured extras and spent a 12-hour day grinding rocks, chewing on raw potatoes, picking nits out of each others' mercilessly teased hair, and packing the campsite to run from the bad guys. Here's a picture of them in full stone-age regalia! David Carradine ("Kill Bill," "Kung Fu") and Talia Shire (The "Rocky" series) star in the movie, which is being produced by the University of Texas @ Austin (Burnt Orange Productions)....
