D.I.N.K.s

This past Thursday, I found myself in Orland Park, Illinois to see the premier of a Robert Alaniz film: D.I.N.K.s.  For those of you who don't know what it stands for, it means Double Income, No Kids...and the movie is about just that: couples who are together but have no children and what that is like in a society of kids.

This is Robert's fifth film, and he is an independent filmmaker based in Frankfurt, IL.  I had the pleasure of being a part of his last film, The Vision, and also landed a role in this film as Stacy, the next door neighbor's wife.  It was really fun to work on, and I loved the script and just the overall concept of the film.  I think it is a new type of film, one that has not been featured very often, and therefore a cause for curiosity and demand.  

Plus, there were some really great people involved in the making of this film.  Yours truly, (uhem), and I loved being a part of it, but I also loved it because all of the other actors were great both at what they do and just being around on set.  The two leads:  Deborah Proud and David Tibble, featured above in the film's poster, are not only extremely fun people but also very professional.  When watching this movie, it is clear that the talent featured in the film is of a caliber yet matched.


The other cool thing though, is not just that he has a phenomenal cast (which it does), but that it has some other impressive names on it's side, including Doug Adams, the musicologist of the Lord of the Rings films.  And, let me tell you, the scoring throughout the movie was perfect, so kudos to you Doug.  It really tied the movie together beautifully.


The national premier is in Chicago, Friday, March 25, 2011, at the Portage Theater.   Check out the www.dinksthemovie.com website or the link above for more information.  The tickets gains you entrance into the movie as well as the pre-show raffle option and the post-show Q&A and meet and greet with the actors themselves!!  Hope to see you all there!
