That's what it was like on this action-packed day of production, and lucky me, I got to play the petite FBI agent slinging a gun half my size.

I soon came to realize not only did I have to use it convincingly in my scenes, I had to protect it from being stolen from my fellow cast and crew members who were drooling at the mouth the second Alejandro removed it from the case and asked me if it was too heavy. I wouldn't have cared if it was, I would have done it anyway. I kept reassuring everyone who wanted to help me "hold it" that I am small, but I am mighty. (At least in my own mind.....)

It's not hard to relate to why we do what we do. It's a passion that lets us create a reality beyond ourselves. To allow us to create experiences most of us could never imagine, or better yet, participate in in real life. i.e. A 110lb. woman running full speed with FBI gear and a gun pointing in the air. Put a red headband on me with a bit of mud and I could have been Rambo. Swear to God. (At least in my own mind.....)
