Alvin and the Chipmunks - Road Chip
I have been holding a secret all year. I am excited to announce that I am being introduced into the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise as the character Alice. I spent about a month this summer filming in Atlanta and Miami (in some mind blowing locations). The latest Alvin installment will be ready for release next week, December 18th. I am forever grateful to casting director Jackie Burch; my agent, Jana Stanton VanDyke; and to my family at FOX.
I have worked on many amazing productions over the last few years and I am as proud of those as I am of Alvin and the Chipmunks. This one is special, not just because it is a well-loved franchise, but because God’s timing on this project could not have been better. Exactly one year ago today, I walked away from my day job to pursue my passion for film FULL TIME. I was living a dream: a high paying job, a company car with a flexible schedule. But, it was someone else’s dream, NOT MINE! I have been training in Theater and Film since I was a child, I even have a Theater Degree, and was working at a corporation (dying inside), instead of putting my energy into my passion. So, I gave it all up to go after MY dream, a dream that I have always known, but never dared to pursue wholeheartedly. I decided to put my trust 100% in God and quit that prestigious job in faith! I am so happy to share this significant moment in my journey, which is even greater than I dreamed it would be. The best part is: I have ALWAYS wanted to do a kids’ movie. And now I am finally a cool mom in the eyes of my 7-year-old daughter! For those of you battling to realize your dream, trust God. He will make it even greater than you imagined.
