six: COMPENDIUM!

Last week I auditioned for the role of Alice, in Vancouver Film School's Compendium 6: Alice in Wasteland.  Compendium is a project put on by VFS as an opportunity to work on a large-scale set with current students and alumni across the school, in all departments.  I personally have always been super stoked on Compendium because it consistently has characters that call for incredibly detailed, outlandish, and stunning make-up.  After being called back on Monday, I was informed that I hadn't got the role of Alice.  Major.  Bummer.

HOWEVER!

This turned out to be a blessing in disguise BECAUSE they called me on Tuesday to let me know that they did want me to be in it, just in a different role.  A make-up heavy role.  One that hadn't been auditioned for, but was given to me after the fact.

Yours truly, Shelby Shukaliak...

will be playing...

the ROTTING CORPSE IN THE CLOSET!  This may not sound thrilling to you but this is some of the best news I could have received.  You see, I am not JUST a corpse, I am a corpse that comes back with a vengeance.  Shit is about to get HEAVY.  I will be wearing head-to-toe prosthetics, with some supremely gruesome make-up.  I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!  More news about this as it becomes known to me!
