January - If you get a chance pick up W magazine (FEB 2005). WE ALL FALL DOWN is a blast. It is a period piece, and I
get the wear these awesome dress-up dresses. Yesterday my wardrobe was great. I got to wear jammies all day long to
film. The directors are twins (Matt and Ross) They are hilarious, plus they both agree on everything...how does that
work....my brother and I can't even agree on where we will sit in the car.?! 20th -Today is the last day of school until I
finish the two movies. It is exciting, but also sad. I am really going to miss all my friends. Thank goodness for IMing and
text messaging. I Start We all Fall Down tomorrow. As soon as I finish filming We All Fall Down, I fly to Canada for 4
months to film The Wrong Element. The Abercrombie and Fitch Spring 2005 promotional catalogue is out in stores now.
I'm the one up on the statue with the paper crown. I will be playing Charity Yates in Matt and Ross Duffer's movie WE ALL
FALL DOWN. I have to work on perfecting an old English accent. Mean Creek will be out on DVD and rentable in my area
on January 25th. Great news back home! My Aunt and Uncle are opening a Cold Stones ice creamery in Valparaiso. I
am thrilled. My Aunt said I could come work for her this summer. I love Cold Stones! I believe they are having a grand
opening March 1st. Happy New Year to everyone! I had the best New Years Eve Ever!!!!!
February - I came down from Canada for the weekend. The Independent Spirit Awards were fantastic. That was truly a
great time. I met a lot of interesting people/stars. It was a wonderful night for MEAN CREEK. Check out my new pictures
under Scrapbook - Cold Case & We All Fall Down. I am off to Canada.
March - Filming on the FIREWALL is going great. Harrison is a sweetheart. Paul Bettany is so charming. Virginia is a
doll face, and she makes me laugh so hard. Canada is interesting because we are adapting to living the big city life. We
have only driven our car a couple times. I had a good friend come up and spend spring break with me. We had a total
blast taking the ferry over to Victoria on the weekend. In Vancouver we hung out playing guitar, swimming, checking out the
Capilanio suspension bridge, and going to Storyeum.
April - I am home for a few weeks. Wow! It is so warm in California.
May - Back filming on the FIREWALL. We are heading up to Kamloops in a week or so to finish the movie. This film is
really getting exciting. Both production are trying to adjust scheduling so I can do both The FIREWALL and RV. They think
they may have it worked out
June - Note* Eye of the Dolphin is now Blue 14. I just finished the The Wrong Element/Firewall. What a great experience.
I can't wait to see the finished product. I made some great friends on this movie.... some real keepers! That is always a
huge bonus. I leave tomorrow for the Bahamas to shoot BLUE 14. The first three days are dolphin training. How
cool....plus I believe Johnny Depp is down there somewhere on a boat filming "pirates". As soon as I finish BLUE 14 I
have 3 days off before I fly to in South Africa. I am filming a thriller down there called PREY. I won't be back for a while so
have a great summer!
July - Okay so I didn't get the three days off before I headed to South Africa, but that is the way it goes. South Africa was
amazing. I spent 9 weeks there working with lions. It was very scary yet exciting.
August - South Africa is totally different than what I expected. It was not so hot only dry, and the people are oh so friendly.
PREY is about an American family that takes a trip to Africa. Bridget Moynahan is my new step-mother that I am not so
fond of because I feel she has ripped my parents apart. My father heads out on a business trip, and he sends us (3) out
on a safari. Well, let's just say the safari goes bad. It is like JAWS meets PHONE BOOTH or JURASSIC PARK with lions.
My brother, Connor Dowd, is from South Africa. He was a very nice and sweet kid. This will be a thriller to watch because
it was fueled on high adrenalin while making it. I sat in the safari jeep with Bridget and Connor filming while a 500 lb. lion
was on the roof. What happened when I started screaming.... well let's just say the lion did not like it one bit. *note: the
lions did not fancy me at all. They did not want to be my friend.
September - My father and brother came to South Africa for a visit. I got 3 days off, so we went sight-seeing. We took a
trip into Soweto with our friends Thuli, Vincent, and Vusi. We visited Nelson Mandela's first home. We ate a Wandies and
went to the Hector Peiterson memorial. Then we grabbed a Quarter (bunny chow) huge sandwich with french fries, fried
egg, baloney, sausage, fish, sauce, and meat on a loaf of french bread. You have to sit on this sandwich to get it into your
mouth. We then went to the Apartheid museum. WOW! .... My family then went on an elephant back safari. I got an
elephant all to myself. We also took a 3 hour jeep safari and saw amazing animals. The leopard was my favorite. We
went to a lion park where Hunter and I got to feed a giraffe and hold baby lion cubs. It was so cool!!! Giraffes are my new
favorite animal along with dolphins, lions, and horses. We went to the Cullian diamond mine where I bought some
~bling~ . NICE! The gold mine was interesting because we went down hundreds of feet into the main shaft. We went to
the Cradle of Humankind and down into a cave where the first (oldest) ape-man was discovered. My father and brother
went home and our location for the film moved to Limpopo. We finished the movie then my mom and I went on a vacation
safari to Sabi Sands. What an adventure. One night we had a leopard on our deck, and the next evening a herd of 12
elephant surrounding our bungalow. The following night a lion began roaring at 2:00 in the morning and did not stop until
dawn
October - BLUE 14 is now called THE EYE OF THE DOLPHIN. I just saw the movie FIREWALL at a private screening in
Burbank. Oh my goodness it is a very exciting movie. My family back in Indiana is going to love it. I am heading up to
Canada to shoot three more scenes for FIREWALL. I will be gone until the second week of November. October 1st, I am
back home in California, and I was greeted by wildfires. YIKES! Everyday in South Africa was an adventure. Now I have to
hit the school books hard before heading back to the Bahamas to finish BLUE 14/THE EYE OF THE DOLPHIN.
November - Okay, Harry Potter at the I-Max was outrageous. I just saw the trailer for Firewall. Go to Moviefone.
http://movies.aol.com/movie_exclusive_firewall_trailer or go to....
Then go to Firewall trailer. Today it was the feature trailer so it comes right up. One of the posters for THE EYE OF THE
DOLPHIN was just sent to me. Check it out www.theeyeofthedolphin.com . FIREWALL COMES OUT FEBRUARY 10TH.
The movie WE ALL FALL DOWN is hitting all the festivals right now, so if you get a chance go watch it. Check out the
trailer: www.wafdmovie.com .
December - I am taking a month off to relax and enjoy friend and family. A few good friends and I did our 2nd annual
Knott's Berry Farm outing. Rollercoasters are always a thrill. Our big plans to go to Big Bear skiing were shot down for
lack of snow. I am working really hard on my studies. I had to catch up for being gone so long. And believe me I get cut
zero slack. I turn in everything my classmates do. I have been watching the weekly freshman baseball games at the
school (I would have attended) if I wasn't home schooled this year. Not a bad view. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy
New Years too.
