Here I am talking to my fellow actors on the set of MTV's Go Big! It looks as if I'm having an animated conversation with the talented and hilarious Hank Northrop. (He gets all of his style from his fashionable Grandmother!) The whole day was just like a giant party. in this shot I got to dance on top of the makeshift coffee table!

The set was a house in LA that the art department did some amazing work transforming into a fraternity house.

All of the spray paint art on the walls was done by the art department two nights before! It looked JUST like a house that a friend of mine rented and lived in with about six other guys back in college. It was our own theatre fraternity house!

We also spent a lot of time "partying" outside, playing beer pong and dancing the night away! Of course our film was set in Alabama, where it's almost always warm! That was a bit challenging for us girls in California in January wearing short shorts, but even more challenging for the fellas who were to be topless!

Then of course we welcomed the pledges in later that night, and who happened to be playing a pledge? My co-star, Nick Beckwith, from CSUN's Robot Club who played Tyler the robot!

Of course, it wasn't all fun and games. Here's our story producer, Joe Bohn, hard at work along with a PA setting up the perfect lighting for shooting outside in the dark!

And here's our director, Michael Rohrbaugh and our Director of Photography setting up the perfect shot!

At the end of the day, the dancing and partying was done and the girls were wrapped for the day, but the boys stayed working. This is them filming one of the last parts of the film where our heavily closeted fraternity brother took out his anger and shame on an unsuspecting, innocent new pledge!

I'm very excited to see the final product of this film because not only was it a fun day of getting to know new people and fellow actors and filmmakers and dancing and partying, the film is about social injustices that are happening around us every single day. This film brings to light the prejudices we instill upon others and face every day simply due to the fact that we oftentimes don't take a look at the world as a whole different place than just our own personal views and experiences. It's exciting to be even just a small part of such an important and meaningful project. I will update you guys as soon as we here a premiere date!

Stay tuned, and don't forget to visit MTV's Look Different website detaling how you may be contributing to social injustice and how you can Go Big and change it for the better!
