"The only priority that really matters that can't be compromised is saying exactly what you want. Being as honest to that thing that you're interested in, that thing that's at the heart of a movie that you really want to share with people. And no one fucks with that."

Brendan interviewed on Calgary's Show Buzz.

Cinema Spectacular: Filmmaker Feature - Brendan Prost

Come get a sneak peek of Brendan Prost's brand new feature film, Spaces and Reservations at Cinema Spectacular! "Spaces and Reservations is an intimate relationship drama that tells the story of a young couple being torn apart by malaise and infidelity, and the way in which the trauma of their breakup brings them back together. "

Brendan Prost is a 24-year-old DIY filmmaker and a student at Simon Fraser University. He is best known as the ambitious and unabashedly personal young auteur behind two feature films, Choch ("one of the most intriguing and involving low-budget indies to cross my desk in 2011" - The Independent Critic) and Generation Why (Rising Star Award Winner at the Canada International FIlm Festival). Brendan's directing credits also include a diverse set of short films, including most recently a psychosexual character study, Jerk.

Originally from Calgary, Brendan relocated to Vancouver three years ago to pursue his education. Currently, as well as exhibiting and distributing Spaces and Reservations, Brendan is also in post-production on an improvised mid-length comedy called Best Friends For Life, and continues to pursue his interest in performance- intensive personal narrative filmmaking while working towards his BFA.

On top of bringing the trailer for his newest feature Spaces and Reservations to Cinema Spectacular, his grad film Getting There is showing this weekend at the Simon Fraser University fourth year screening, and Spaces and Reservations in its entirety can be seen on May 20th and May 27th at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver, and will soon to be tripping across Canada - the schedule can be found on the website here!

Spaces and Reservations can be found all over the web - Official Website - Twitter - Facebook - Tumblr

And That's a Wrap, Folks.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, as the sun rose over the first day of September, a few very dedicated filmmakers, myself and other actor, Zachary White, echoed a cheer of victory (or a sigh of relief) as Brendan Prost called "Cut!" on our last shot of the film. After 15 days of working on Spaces and Reservations, we were finally wrapped, and off we were to Denny's for celebratory cheap coffee and hash-browns, and then some tired, scattered goodbyes.

I've done all of the rudimentary, post-film, get-back-to-reality tasks since those goodbyes. I ensured a goodnight's sleep for myself after that grueling schedule with a strong drink on Saturday night, and didn't start my day until late into the next morning. I got myself back to the gym, something that had been neglected for a little more than two weeks. Stopped by Brendan's house to pick up the remainder of my costume pieces, as well as to verbally fill out my comment card on how the shoot went (A+'s all around). And then 3 loads of laundry done, and my life should be back to normal.

But how odd is that? To walk into this sort of alter universe, where we bare our souls and become our most vulnerable selves, and eat with the same people every day and take very little part in the other aspects of our lives. Everything is call times, and schedules, and light set ups and 11th takes. How much time is allotted for sleep this day, and when can we fit in dinner today, and how many scenes do I cry in today? Bills and exercise and seeing family are all put on hold...we're making a movie.

I don't think one can step into that world and exit again unchanged. Life is back to normal for now, but not without a new perspective or understanding of myself. I've learned a lot about my capacity and capabilities as an actor, but also about myself as a colleague and as a sensitive person. All my old diaries became character research and I don't think any of us could have gotten away without revisiting the most vulnerable moments in our respective histories. And we're lucky for it. We don't get many chances to do those things, to explore why we are the way we are and what has happened to us that brought us here. It's art. And it's important.

So, for now, until we get to see the film, this is how I leave behind that experience...with a great deal of gratitude, humility, new found confidence and a sense that I am the luckiest person alive to get to call this my career.

(Me and Brendan Prost!)

I'll Be Sure To Add That To My Special Skills List...

Well, I've only got two more days of shooting on Spaces and Reservations after having gotten through 10, and I've only got two blog posts to show for it. Hmmm...

The experiences and amount of things I have learned about myself during this project are pretty boundless, but I can only fit so much in here in one post, so I thought I would focus on all of the interesting tasks I've had to complete on camera...that have turned out to be terribly difficult for me!

When reading a script that says something along the lines of,Kacie makes breakfast,I don't know about you, but I don't really give it a whole lot of special though. That is, until, it comes time to actually cook breakfast with a room full of people watching you and a camera intrusively examining every move you make!

Well, here is a list (because you all know how much I like lists) of things like that, that for any normal human being should not have been as debilitating as they ended up being for me.

1. Backing a car up in a straight line...for a total distance of 10 feet

Right. So, not a difficult task, by any stretch of the imagination. And I drive! I consider myself a good driver, even. And yet, poor Zachary's car was subjected to a ridiculous amount of tire and wheel scraping along the curb. The first time it happened, I got myself so jammed against the curb, that director Brendan Prost had to come and take over the driving to set up for the next take. You'd think that the second scene I had to do this for would have gone smoother...but nope. Once again, scraped tires against a sidewalk, as Taylor attempts to drive in a straight line.

2. Look adorable dancing.

Alright Taylor, in this scene...you're going to put on a record*, and then you're going to dance and show us your charming, cute side, k? Right. Shouldn't be too difficult. Except for after the first take, when the director pulls you aside to let you know that you're actually scaring people with your manic attempt at "dancing". Let's stick with a subtle wiggle, and leave the "white man's overbite" to Billy Crystal!

3. Ride a bicycle.

Let's just say, the first take was ended prematurely when not one single person on the crew could stop themselves from laughing at my bicycle riding. Nuff said?

4. Find a suitable, marshmallow roasting stick.

You know that cute meme, that depicts a fun looking vintage woman, with the quote "I love not camping!"? Yep. Pretty much me. And very apparent to everyone else who actually loves camping, as they watched me try shove a very large stick through a sad, squished marshmallow. It was not pretty. I've been told there is a great art to be learned of whittling.

5. Cook breakfast.

I have to say...considering I wasn't given all of the needed ingredients, the french toast I made while being scrutinized by a camera, was actually pretty delicious. I am almost positive, however, that any footage of me pulling bacon out of the package to fry will be cut from the film. I come from a turkey-bacon family, and it is a whole other experience trying to pull real bacon apart. Very slimy...and drippy.

Well, there you have it. Things Taylor learned she shouldn't be putting on her "special skills" section on her resume any time soon...Maybe it's time to attempt some domestic tasks now, you know, practice at home or whatever.

*I'd also like to point out how embarrassing it is to try to put a record on in front of a bunch of hipsters when you've never done it before. Jeez!
