about

someday. by avalonne hall is my love letter to love, life and Woody Allen.

Avalonne Hall fancies herself as a romantic heroine in her life. Avalonne has no boyfriend, she tried once or twice, but the results were a letdown. Instead, she cultivates a taste for small pleasures: Popping bubble wrap, tearing up paper and cardboard and chewing the end of a straw. She doesn't drink or smoke. For fun, she can enjoy poker, pool, karaoke and bowling with a Shirley Temple. She enjoys her English Breakfast tea with half and half (half and half only please) and a lot of sugar. She enjoys spicy food and steak cooked blue. She has a penchant for glasses, hats, cameras, lipstick, cured meats, good cheeses and Vitamin Water.

Moving cross-country by herself from San Francisco to New York City was the best decision she ever made. She is living her dream, slowly breaking into the New York film industry. Soon, her dream will be fully realized when she starts getting paid (please soon!) for working eighteen hours a day, five days a week. Someday, this will all be worth it. Someday.

Working on feature films and getting paid is my priority right now. Trying to make my own short film next year. Help me make my dreams come true. Working on conceptualizing my story and preparing for my IndieGoGo Campaign. Currently writing and re-writing the short film script.

I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined our street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday. - Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), American Beauty, 1999
