My Daughters Movie Debut In Cannes In The Fall

Please don't get excited, just a mothers boast.

Two summer ago a movie crew here and did some shooting for a movie. It is called "Dog Days of Summer". We have not heard much so I googled it. The movie will make it's film debut in Cannes Film Festival in the Fall. The move stars Will Patton, and boy is he such a nice guy and very down to earth.

Annie plays the "girlfriend" of married Pastor Salem, played by R. Keith Harris (did a Spiderman stint), but his name is not on my celeb list. No improprieties as the girl friend, just walking in an out of his home. She was one to two "townies" that had a more significant role. Non speaking role, but not an extra either.

Oh, well. It's just a fun little experience in her young life.

Nothing redeeming in this post, but I think it's kinda cool.

Oh, how exciting!!! Cannes too??? She must be thrilled.

Remember what they say. There is NO SUCH THING as a bit part. She's there. She (and you) should enjoy every minute of it.

Keep us posted on all of this and let us know if it comes out on DVD. I'd love to see it.

That's pretty cool. My grandfather had a very small role in a British War Movie back in the 50's. He had one speaking line, something along the lines of "General, here's the map." I forget. and he's seen in the background several times. When it became available through some obscure movie video sales place in Europe, my mom obtained a copy, and it's a treasured family object.

Hopefully in this day and age, it'll be easier to have and keep you're daughters movie!

And who knows where it might lead...have you ever seen those TV specials where the highlight famous peoples first movie/tv appearence? Many times it's pretty modest.

I was a stunt double in a kayak a few years ago for a Chevy truck commercial. Unfortunately, I never actually saw the commercial, but I was paid well for the day and received a few modest residual checks. To this day, it's the most money I've made in one day! And it was interesting to be on set for the day.

Congrats! Is it a "chick flick"? If so, I'll probably end up seeing it, as my wife loves them!

Thanks Nancy, it's fun. But to wait. Annie is the left of my avatar. She's a sweetie, but down with the flu, first wedding anniversary June 10 and calling momma. I like that. :)

Mothers are supposed to boast. It's neat that your daughter got to be in a movie.

I have to agree, how cool!! My ex husbands brother had a friend, trying to make it in the movie business, started just like your daughter is, and now is a stand in (sometimes) for Ben Stiller in certain movies, I forget which and I am not calling the ex to find out!

But still, way cool for your daughter!! wooohooo!

thats great, yeah as was said above there is no such thing as a small part. My great great grandpa was in merry popins, he played the man on the roof that had the cannon. my whole family still remembers him to this day because of it, its amazing how a small part in anything can stick with generations

Thanks for that link, B. It looks good. I'll bet my son would really like it.

Lister--I loved Mary Poppins! I saw it as a child, and had the album with all of the music from the movie. That's really something that your great-grandpa was in it. :D

Lisa - - very cool! :) I myself was an extra in two movies....."Ed TV" w/ Matthew McConnaughey - - YES he was ON SET filming the same day I was, in San Francisco.....I stood about four feet away from him at one point, and nearly fainted! Also I filmed a full day for "Puppet Masters" here in Fresno.

Alas, I did end up on cutting room floor, in BOTH!! :angry: Ha ha, still can't complain, had a blast doing both and will never forget either.

Oh, funny thing is, when I did casting call in SF for Ed TV, I lived in Monterey. about two months went by, and I totally forgot about it....they called at 11 pm on April 1st. I thought it was my friend Roger, playing a joke as he knew how much I loved Matthew.....but no, it was true! They wanted me in SF at 8 a.m. the next day, with five outfits, to play a paparazzo. Holy cow, I called my mom at that hour (she also lived in Monterey), said, I have this and this scheduled for tomorrow, what should I do?? and she said.....HONEY, it's MATTHEW, snap out of it, you are GOING!! :lol: so I got about two hours of sleep, got up at 3, left at 5 and arrived on time. Didn't even begin filming until 5 pm the next day. But ate and chatted all day and goofed off, got paid for it. Made many friends, and then did the Bay to Breakers with them a month later....a whole OTHER story!

Stood next to Ron Howard, who is VERY nice, as he watched the dailies. :)

Would you believe, out of our entire two days of filming (both movies), hardly any of it made it to the screen. :huh: In fact, the entire day in Fresno, involving many repeat helicopter landings, was re-shot. Very long and taxing, these filming days. Very complex. Gave me a whole new appreciation for movie making.

Anywho, it's a blast, and she is SO fortunate to actually be IN the movie!! You will go out of your mind when you see her, Lisa. :)

Susie Q --

Matthew McConnaughey -- oooooooooooooh! Isn't he still single? I saw some television program that featured him at his home. He sleeps in every bedroom of the house because he likes them all! I thought that was pretty cool. Not to mention that the man is WAY too gorgeous! You need to find out if he's doing another movie and apply for a part as an extra again. This time, though, be more assertive -- introduce yourself, sweetie!

:lol::lol: Yes you lunatic, that's about all we did together.....he was not friendly, unlike woody harrelson, who was flirting with everyone (he seemed......altered, I am sure that is not hard to belive). Matthew looked right at me, didn't even smile or anything. And Lynnie - - I was MUCH prettier and younger......um, guess what, Matthew is reported to be quite stinky, he refuses to use deodorant and doesn't bathe regularly.....but he is allegedly QUITE fun....yes, very hot.....I like his airstream and his barbecuing prowess....not sure about the naked marijauana-induced bongo playing :huh:

but, um, let's see.....he broke up with Penelope Cruz and also Sandra Bullock, and he does want children......I don't really think he would give little ol' ME the time of day, I gah-raun-tee it. :lol: Besides, I ahve lost interest in him......moved on.....don't have a new crush these days - - although there IS a photo of Dr. McDreamy on my fridge.

Lisa, you will have to tell us precisely what part your daughter's in so we can nonchalantely say ....''Oh yeah,...that's Lisa's daughter - know the family really well ;) ''

....I like his airstream and his barbecuing prowess

...which are of course VERY important qualities....

....not sure about the naked marijauana-induced bongo playing :huh:

He is cute though :D

Congratulations,

Your girls are both beautiful. Who knows maybe this could be one of those things that leads somewhere and if not it can be one of those things you can all look back on in years to come. I think that is just wonderful and I think it's great that you are proud of her.

Mother's hold the right to brag and Dad's hold the right to the remote control.

Have a happy mother's day!!!

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son. Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia. An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal. Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps...

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son.  Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia.  An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.   Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps, as well as aggression and irritability, confusion, mood swings and behavior changes.  Thiamine is essential to the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which keep us calm and rational.   @Jsingh, histamine intolerance is also a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is needed to prevent mast cells from releasing histamine at the slightest provocation as is seen in histamine intolerance.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine from the body.  Without sufficient thiamine and other B vitamins to clear it, the histamine builds up.  High histamine levels can change behavior, too.  High histamine levels are found in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause extreme hunger or conversely anorexia.   High carbohydrate meals can precipitate thiamine deficiency because additional thiamine is required to process carbohydrates for the body to use as fuel.  The more carbohydrates one eats daily, the more one needs additional thiamine above the RDA.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Keep in mind that gluten-free processed foods like cookies and such are not required to be fortified and enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  Limit processed gluten-free foods.  They are often full of empty calories and unhealthy saturated fats and additives, and are high in histamine or histamine release triggers.  It's time you bought your own vitamins to supplement what is not being absorbed due to malabsorption of Celiac disease.  Benfotiamine is a form of Thiamine that has been shown to improve intestinal health as well as brain function. Do talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals while your children are growing up gluten free.  Serve nutritionally dense foods.  Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!
