I am absolutely delighted to announce that Sophia Myles will be one of the actors taking part in The 24 Hour Plays Celebrity Gala!

My agent sent me an email asking if I was interested in taking part in the 24 Hour Plays Gala at The Old Vic Theatre. I almost wet my pants in fear just reading the email. I am not a stage actress as you all know… but what I do know is this… facing FEAR is the gateway to the next dimension.

I have said yes. I can’t believe I have said yes. Sky diving naked almost seems less scary!  So please wish me luck and if I die as the curtain comes up you are all invited to my funeral.

Love to you all!  Sophia x

To my dear friends – Fee, Mia, Chrissy, Natalie, Maike, Donna, Victor, Steph, Flo and Kevin,

Words can’t describe how much love filled my heart when I saw it. You guys are simply the best. Thank you so so so soooo much. I consider you my soul family and I am so blessed to have you all in my life. Who needs a star on the walk of fame when you have one in the sky? I LOVE YOU. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

“Etienne!” tells the story of Richard who takes his beloved friend, a dwarf hamster named Etienne, on a bicycle road trip after he learns that his pocket pet is sick and has only a few days to live.

Director Jeff Mizushima created a movie that he calls “a film about the little things in life.” It’s produced by Giacun Caduff who met Sophia in 2004 while being her assistant on the set of “Art School Confidential“. They have since remained friends and Sophia taking part in his film was to help Giacun’s career as an up-and-coming producer. And here’s another interesting tidbit for you: while Giacun was Sophia’s assistant he was the person who actually first contacted me on Sophia’s behalf – and us both being Swiss is really one of those funny coincidences in life.

In the spring of 2008, when the Etienne! film team was on their way to San Francisco to record a few pick-up shots, Sophia phoned Giacun with the good news that she’d act in a short scene that they had talked about adding to the hamster film. He and Jeff drove their van on a detour up the Hollywood Hills and, equipped with a 16mm camera, Sophia’s scene was filmed at Lake Hollywood Park. It features hamster Etienne, lead-actor Richard Vallejos and Sophia who is credited in the movie ‘as herself’. For more about the film, visit: http://www.hamstermovie.com or the Official Facebook Page.

I myself had the fortune of seeing a special advance screening of this heartwarming movie in May 2009 and can definitely recommend it! Can you make it to Zürich, Switzerland this Friday? I have 1 pair of tickets to give away for the premiere that takes place at the Arthouse Movie cinema on December 10, 2010 at 10pm. To participate, send an email to mia [at] sophiamyles.org or fill out this contact form. Tickets have to be picked up at the theatre by December 9 – 10:30pm the latest.

“Etienne!” won the “Director to Watch” Award when first screened at CineVegas Film Festival back in 2009 and went on to become a critics darling and audience favorite at numerous other fests. It’ll be out on VOD and DVD in the US shortly. Switzerland is blessed with a theatrical run at Arthouse Movie in Zürich.

Hello People….

It’s 6.30am and I have just woken up. It’s my birthday today. I am 30. WOO HOO!
I have 2 hours before a car picks me and takes me to a secret location in London to film scenes on a tube train.
It’s fun being back in front of the camera…. (more will be revealed).

I wanted to write today to say thank you to all the ASM members for their Birthday wishes.
It’s heartwarming to read your posts and I hope you are all well and happy.

Also to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone involved in making my beautiful keepsake book for Moonlight. Special thanks again to Lee Ann Gradwell.
I spoke to Alex O’loughlin last night and he is eagerly awaiting
the arrival of his keepsake book.
He informs me that he is shooting his new show. He’s tanned, he’s toned and he’s getting his tits out in Hawaii! We shall never forget the magic of Moonlight. (See photo)

I need to make coffee at this point so I bid you all farewell.
Spring is upon us so enjoy!

I’ll be in touch…

LOVE
