On set with the One & Only Tyler Perry!!!!

Hey Guys,

I know it's been a while, but I wanted to share this exciting experience. Tuesday, September 27, 2016 I booked an extra role in Tyler Perry's untitled feature film, which will be released sometime in 2017. I played the role of a college faculty member during a graduation ceremony. I really didn't care what role I’d play, shoot! This is Tyler Perry were talking about. I'll play the woman on drugs, the abusive mother, and the pregnant teen, “YOU NAME IT! I saw Tyler Perry's name on the casting site and I submitted for it. Lol

Meeting Tyler Perry and working with him has always been one of my biggest dreams. He's such a talented and blessed man. As I sat on the train headed to Atlanta, GA I was praying I get the chance to actually see and meet Tyler Perry. Forgetting that I had just booked the job. I was more impressed with the opportunity of meeting him. So, now I am on set and I'm changing into wardrobe, getting hair and makeup done. I begin talking to a woman and we're sharing details on how we both heard about the casting and etc. I asked if she had ever worked previous jobs with Tyler Perry and she replied "No, but I heard he's always present whenever he's shooting a film and he's very punctual. Right then, I knew my dream would come true. Although my role was small, it felt big. Again, it was the opportunity of meeting Tyler Perry. That's a Big deal! 

 His Produces and studio staff had everyone lineup to transport us to where the scene was being shot. Once we arrived we exited the bus and take our places. Now, I'm standing to the side and look up, there I see Tyler Perry standing right in front me. I didn't even notice him. He was dressed in dingy clothing, and looked as if he had just got out of bed, Lol. I was shocked. We made eye contact; I waved my hand and smiled. I wanted to take a picture with him so bad, but no cell phones were allowed on set. Shooting that scene was every bit of 10 minutes. Yep! That’s it. However, it was the best 10 minutes of my life. I did what I was told and that was a wrap! 

My dream had come true. So, the next time I work with Tyler Perry, I'll be playing a co-star role or Lead role. In Jesus name! 


See y'all in 2017! Peace :-)
