Upcoming new Richard Linklater film, Apollo 10 1/2!

September 22, 2020

Long time, no talk. 2019 was so, so busy. I was even too busy to write or update anything on this site…….and then this stupid pandemic hit, and now there’s been a lot more chilling around the house in our lives. Almost needless to say, but I really miss all of my jobs.

Luckily, I finished one of my favorite jobs in life like 3 days before we all went into lockdown. It’s titled Apollo 10 1/2, directed by award winning director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, School of Rock, A Scanner Darkly, Boyhood), starring Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Hidden Figures), Jack Black, and Zachary Levi (Chuck, Shazam!) and it will be coming to Netflix in 2021. It’s a late 1960s period piece that is based around the Apollo 11 launch intertwined with just quirky little vignettes about growing up in the 60s. I got to be hair and makeup department head, which was super cool, and we got to use all of my wigs! Wig partay for days! My hair and makeup crew was also supremely awesome, and I couldn’t have finished this without their help. The script is really wonderful and so artful, and it’s going to be animated over, kind of like A Scanner Darkly or Waking Life. It was really a perfect film aesthetically for me to work on, and I am still just so grateful for the huge opportunity. I can’t wait to post pictures, but alas, I can’t until it comes out due to the NDAs that I had to sign. Blargh.

Here are some pretty rad articles from Hollywood reporter, Variety, and the Wrap…….please keep looking for it to come out! So freaking excited!
