intimidatedin about an hour i am being picked up by a friend and a friend of the friend who is a filmmaker and we are going to the beach to do a shoot in which i play a terrified sailor. this is not my acting debut but it will be the first time i've actually faced the camera. i hope i do ok. i've been practicing grimacing for a week but i don't know if i will have the wherewithal to do it in front of other people -- there will be other cast and crew there as well.
it will be less scary than doing my first lecture was though.
