This won\u2019t be long. <\/p>\n<p>As some of you may know, I am a key character in the film. The abrupt release being on Netflix surprised me as much as the Director, Alex Merkin. I had not seen, or even been privy to an edit of the film, nor had any of the actors for that matter. <\/p>\n<p>It saddens me that so much talent, passion and hard work lead to such a poor edit of our film. An edit that doesn\u2019t lend itself to the script at all. An edit that we never would have signed up to be involved in. It\u2019s embarrassing, and diminishes the craft. <\/p>\n<p>This film came into my life at a time that was completely kismet. I had just moved to NYC and needed something of substance to lock down my visa so I could continue to perform, tour, record and persue my music in the US. <\/p>\n<p>In the end, fear based thinking and money seems to win the race when working amongst companies that treat the creative process like a manufacturing house. <\/p>\n<p>There really isn\u2019t much of a lesson to be learned in these situations.. maybe an understanding of the inundation of fear-based thinking in the film industry. Regardless, I am so proud of the cast and crew involved in this film \u2014 it was so much fun spending time and falling in love with our characters\u2026 Alex Merkin was a kick ass director who gave so much freedom to express, screw up and grow. \u2013 Thank you, everyone. x<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not failing every now and again, it\u2019s a sign you\u2019re not doing anything very innovative. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Woody Allen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.indiewire.com\/shadowandact\/netflix-and-queen-latifahs-flavor-unit-entertainment-announce-multi-year-agreement\" class=\"autohyperlink\">blogs.indiewire.com\/shadowandact\/netflix-and-queen-latifahs-flavor-unit-entertainment-announce-multi-year-agreement<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been an interesting week since the release of &#8220;House of Bodies&#8221; to Netflix.
