50 states… 50 filmmakers…
Posted by Leslie on November 9, 2009 | No comments
I have already written about the blog Self Reliant Film, and there is another post that I think you would be interested in.
He is doing a survey of individuals who are making films in areas that are NOT in the filmmaking centers of the country (L.A. and New York).
So if you’re making films and you’re not in these areas, you might want to nominate yourself or other people you know for each of the states (don’t worry about filling in the blank for each state… just the ones where you know filmmakers.)
(LIke me… In Arizona… It’d be cool if you wrote me in for AZ!)
And I actually did nominate people in NY and LA when they asked for New York and California. That’s where I know the best filmmakers are for that state, and I don’t think that he was against nominating people in the filmmaking centers… I just think that he also wanted to get a wider scope of the country.
Anyhoo, here’s the original post.
And, again, when you get to Arizona, please list Leslie Lello.
If you want to check out my stuff, go take a look at my You Tube channel, which is always a work in progress…
(BTW, more 80’s Chicks, Brittany and Tiffany, on the way soon!)
Halloweeen Stories… And Possibly an Actual Ghost? Caught on Camera?
Posted by Leslie on November 1, 2009 | No comments
I mentioned earlier this week that I shot a series for Halloween on NAZ Today about The Ghosts of Flagstaff.
I have the clips but I have not able to upload them so I’m just going to send you to the site for now. I will probably upload them to YouTube soon so that you don’t have to sit through the whole show (fascinating as it may be).
John The Conductor at The Flagstaff Train Station
The Newlyweds and more at the Weatherford Hotel
The most interesting story for me was the Weatherford Hotel, not because of the stories as much as because something very weird came up in the footage.
There are these two black misty clouds that move through a wall from background to foreground and then out of frame.
At first I thought that it was my camera technique, but when I looked at it a few times and showed other people, I was left wondering it perhaps we did see SOMETHING paranormal (and so were they…)
If you watch, please leave your comments and let me know what you think. (about the black mist, the stories, the shooting, etc…)
“Ghosts of Flagstaff” Series on NAZ Today
Posted by Leslie on October 28, 2009 | No comments
Hey!
Just letting you know I shot a got to shoot a series of packages for NAZ Today on the Ghosts of Flagstaff to celebrate Halloween…
I don’t have the links yet… I will post them soon…
Might be able to post the clips here. Had a lot of fun shooting this one! Though those pesky ghosts gave me a bit of technical trouble on the editing end (which is apparently what ghosts do and one of the ways they impact the physical world.)
ATTENTION MUSICIANS AND COMEDIANS: RADIO NEEDS MUSIC AND COMEDY!
Posted by Leslie on October 22, 2009 | No comments
I’m not sure this is really an appropriate place to post this, given that it has little to do with filmmaking, but I figured I would do so anyway.
It might help some of you out because, like myself, I know that a lot of my readers are artists in many different regards… filmmakers, writers, painters, musicians… and I want to get the word out.
I am a DJ at KJAK 1680am that broadcast (live streaming) around the globe on the Internet at www.kjack.org.
We also have a video feed there where you can watch me in the booth.
Anyhoo, my current shift is on Fridays, 5pm-6:30pm ARIZONA TIME!!!!
ARIZONA is the rebel state (along with Hawaii) when it comes to Daylight Savings time. We don’t change our clocks… which means we are the same time as California in the summertime (Pacific Time) and the same time as Colorado in the winter time (Mountain Time).
So right now my show starts at 8pm for those of you on the East Coast, but it will be 7pm between November 1, 2009 and March 14, 2010.
The other reason I am posting is because I am requesting that musicians and comedians send CDs of their material. We are interested in recent material… The Copyright date should be 2009 or we probably won’t put it in our rotation.
Comedy is less likely to make it into the rotation, but I have a special affection for it, so I can play it on my shift.
All material should be clean… no swear words or anything that the FCC would raise an eyebrow about. (The general rule at the station is “when in doubt, don’t play it”, so keep it as clean as possible.)
Here is the address:
KJack Radio
Leslie Lello
Northern Arizona University
School of Communication
PO BOX 5619
Flagstaff, AZ 86001
And don’t forget to join the Facebook KJack Page.
Also, during my shift, make requests by writing to me at Facebook Chat (which is in real time) or calling KJack at 928-523-4554.
Please forward this blog post to any musicians and comedians that have material for our station!
Dolce & Gabbana: My Video Report
Posted by Leslie on October 20, 2009 | No comments
Dolce and Gabbana came to my school to promote their 2010 Fall evening gown line. I got to shoot it & report on it.
Overall, I’m very happy with how the video report came out…
Vlogging!!!
Posted by Leslie on May 11, 2009 | No comments
Wow… I’m totally used to being on camera, but I have to say that vlogging makes me feel so vulnerable. Maybe because it’s so immediate and it’s so… ME. I’m usually in character when I’m on camera.
A confession…
Posted by Leslie on April 4, 2009 | No comments
I have been indulging in my most sinful indulgence…
DON’T TELL ANYONE….
SHUSSSSSHHHHH…. IT’S A SECRET!
It is stage acting.
Yes, I’m back to my old fun! I know my secret is safe with you!
Sketchofrenics at Neon Venus Theater for First Friday
Me & Lisa Marie at First Friday - Neon Venus Theater
In L.A. referring to oneself as an actor was the same as referring to oneself as a professional leper, if said actor did not have movie credits, kick ass connections or a reoccurring roll on a series.
Here in Vegas, I’m back to the art of it and the fun of it.
It’s comedy. It’s sketch. It’s improv. It’s messing with tourists and locals while in character.

The Joy of the HandHeld – VOTE: VIDEO-Greatest Job in the World
Posted by Leslie on February 16, 2009 | No comments
I’ve noticed that lately I haven’t really wanted to slow down making stuff by inviting a crew along.
Typically, I really enjoy the collaboration of having a large team work on a project with me, but lately I’ve gotten into this rhythm of shoot, edit, post, repeat and I love it!
Anyhoo, Here is my latest video and I am posting it here for two reasons.
One objective is to show you what I’ve been up to. This took about 2 hours total, but was so much fun to create!

The other objective is to ask you to VOTE!!! I don’t care how you vote, but select the number of starts you think this video should get and vote for it!!! You would be helping me a great deal.
Oh! I just thought of another objective…
So, for those actors that are frustrated with the whole auditioning process but don’t know where to start with making your own projects… If you can get your hands on some basic movie making equipment (video camera, editing system) you can be off and running. And then you just improve from there.
