Message from Kirsten Vangsness


Its me, Kirsten. Of, Kirsten on the TV show! and Kirsten in the Play! And Kirsten you should be in a movie!
So I took that advice and have been making a movie....

As you may know from the Facebook, I am doing a kickstarter to raise funds to finish the movie I am executive producer of what Joe Mantegna says will be "One of the greatest movies ever made.", "Kill Me, Deadly"

We have been filming the movie the last two years with now only 14 more days of shooting to go that we want to film this summer. Most of the movie is funded- and a great deal of that money is my own- if I put any more into it I will get in trouble:) - SO we are widening the net and our community of movie making with a Kickstarter campaign.

Kickstarter is a way to crowd fund this explains...

http://www.kickstarter.com/hello?ref=nav

Meaning a crowd of folks are donating money. Our goal is 200,000 dollars by July 1st. How it works is you go to the site here...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1768614175/kill-me-deadly-a-film-noir-comedy

...and pledge an amount, anywhere from a dollar to... ahem, more than a dollar:) Whatever feels good to you, and we have nifty incentives for each amount.
THEN come July 1 if we reach our goal we get to use the money you pledged and if we don't reach our goal that money goes back to you.

This is where I need favors- I need you to go to this kickstarter, look at it, fall in love (easy part, just watch and you'll see) donate what FEELS GOOD (nothing painful) and then share with who you know.

ANNNNDDDD beings as I know and love you- if theres a special perk you want (me coming to your house and cooking dinner, putting something of yours on my work desk so its filmed the whole year, signed pictures. set visits) let me know what you can do and we can work something out privately....

Right now, I want the kickstarter numbers of PEOPLE to go up. We have 237 folks who have put in. I believe we can get more folks behind this than 237 folks....
SO what I need is for you to please consider making a donation today in ANY amount (even 5 bucks you will get weekly video updates from me and behind the scenes stuff) to the film and be a part of theatre/movie history.

I love that I get to share this movie with you. Its super special which you will clearly see when you watch this:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1768614175/kill-me-deadly-a-film-noir-comedy

And its G rated and birthed in the theatre... kinda like yours truly.

I hope this finds you well and happy. I would love any and all feedback you have too.

Under the pact, she is set to continue as showrunner on the studio’s veteran crime drama. Locking in Messer has been considered key to Criminal Minds‘ renewal.

Cook all had no deals beyond this season. ABC Studios and CBS are yet to lock in the actors, but Messer’s deal is expected to help the process.

Interview with HannaH Eisenmann (guest on "The Good Earth")

During our visit to LA last October we had the chance to meet lovely Miss HannaH Eisenmann and her family. Last night was the rerun of her Criminal Minds episode "The Good Earth" we're happy to share our little interview with the rising star...

©Deidhra Fahey

When did you realize you wanted to be an actress?

I have always been around the entertainment business because of my parents. I really don’t remember a time I was not around it in some way. My first acting job was when I was about 6 months old. I was a “Crying Baby” on X Files. But it was after my brother decided to not do gymnastics that our parents actually asked us if we wanted to do acting. We both said yes and have been doing it ever since.
I also love to sing and to write songs. I have been writing songs with my mom for a few years now. I have performed some of them live. I am learning to play the guitar and I hope to one day have an album out.
HannaH w/ her manager Karen Damico (Karma Talent)

What do like the most about acting?

I love the process. I love coming up with the back-story of my character. And learning about things I do not know about to help me understand my character. When I prepare for an audition even if I do not get the part by working hard myself, with my parents and my coach I always learn a lot that helps me for the next role. When I am filming I just love it! I love to be in front of the camera and I love to be on set!
For my role as Lexy on CM, I hand made a doll that I thought Lexy would always carry around with her. The doll was on set but you never see the doll on camera. Even though no one can see the doll it helped me with my character.



You have worked in television and on films, which do you prefer?

I like both because they are so different. When you do episodic it is really quick. Sometimes you only have hours to prepare to audition for producers and a lot of times you know that night or the next day if you got the part. And usually you are on set within days of landing the part. Because I do school on set besides filming there is not a lot of time to hang out and get to know everyone. I was not in school when I filmed Criminal Minds so I was able to hang out more than normal.

HannaH w/ her brother Stone


When you are doing a film especially one that is on location there is more time spent on filming so there is more time to get to know everyone. When we filmed our film FIREFALL we were in the Yosemite area for about 2 weeks. We all stayed in the same place so we were together 24/7. It really made us like a family.

You guest star in the “Good Earth” episode of Criminal Minds. Can you tell us about your time spent on the set? Do you have any stories you can share with us? Which actors did you get a chance to work with?

Yes I can.
I really liked how the director John Terlesky directed me. He was specific with what he wanted me to do and really communicated that to me.
I also loved the script that Bruce Zimmerman wrote and I was happy that I was chosen to play Lexy!

HannaH w/ John Terlesky (Director) & Anne Dudek

Anne Dudek who played my mom was so nice. When we were not filming she would show my mom and me pictures of her kids. In real life she is a really good mom.

Hannah w/ Erica Messer

It was also nice to see Erica Messer when she came to set. I talked to Kirsten Vangsness at lunchtime and I also got to speak to Matthew Gubler who always makes my brother and me laugh!

Hannah & her brother Stone w/ Matthew Gray Gubler

On one day of filming Shemar told my brother Stone and I all about his car and how he had refurbished it. Later that day the sound stage was really dark! Shemar got me when he came up behind me and scared me as he flipped me upside down and put me on his shoulder….. And laughing he said,"And now what are you going to do?" Which made me laugh!

HannaH & her brother Stone w/ Shemar Moore



(Spoiler alert if you have not seen this episode)
On set I worked mainly with Anne Dudek and in the last scenes of the episode I worked with the CM Main Cast - Shemar Moore, Thomas Gibson and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Everyone kept saying how creepy it was! Shemar Moore even sent out an instagram of me in between takes.

©ShemarMoore

Because I was buried in the ground everyone was extra careful to make sure I was ok. It was not CGI! I really was in the ground!
The entire crew really made me feel safe which is why I was smiling in between takes.
I also had my family there. A really amazing set teacher whose job besides teaching is to make sure minors on sets are safe. Even one of my Managers came down to set to make sure all went well.


Any other projects we can look forward to that you are working on?

Yes you can look for my brother Stone and me in our National VERIZON WIRELESS commercial. We play twins. I loved working with him! When we auditioned for it we had to do a lot of improv! That made the audition really a lot of fun! I hope we get to work together again soon!

You can see my family and I dressed in our Star Wars Costumes on the cover of and inside the March issue of WIRED MAGAZINE with Chris Hardwick from the Nerdist. Art Streiber took the photos and they are amazing!


WIRED Magazine cover Photo by Art Streiber

On the cover I am the Jawa by the R2D2 (which is our families R2D2 my Dad made). My Dad is Chewbacca, My Mom is the Boushh and Stone is the other Jawa sitting down. We are also in other photos inside the magazine.
We were asked to do the photo shoot because my Mom and Dad are members of the 501st Legion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501st_Legion It is a Star Wars Costuming group that dresses up in screen accurate costumes for Charity events and for High Profile events. As a family we have been doing charity events with the 501st Legion for about 3 years now. We love to put smiles on people’s faces. Dressing in my Jawa and Ewok costumes actually helped me with my part on Criminal Minds for the last scenes of the show.


Do you have a website where fans can get the latest info about your projects?

Yes On April 1,2013 you will be able to go to our website. It is a joint website with my brother.
You can go to either one:
www.hannah-eisenmann.com
www.stone-eisenmann.com.
On the website you will be able to see more behind the scene photos both of our charity work and our film projects. We will keep you up to date with what is new with my brother and me. You can also see our IMDB pages that also regularly are updated. http://www.imdb.me/hannaheisenmann and http://www.imdb.me/stoneeisenmann

HannaH w/ Bruce Zimmermann (Writer)

“I just wanted to say thank you to sindee from the Criminal Minds Fanatic Blog for interviewing me. Thank you to all of the fans that helped my brother and me by sending us snowflakes. And I also want to thank all of the fans for watching the show!” Sincerely,     HannaH Eisenmann


Big THANKS again to HannaH and her family for the great day in LA and for taking the time to answer those questions for us !!

Criminal Instincts - Jeanne Tripplehorn on CBS Watch Magazine

Jeanne Tripplehorn on terrific timing, cast chemistry and terrorizing tween girls

Is there better proof of the circle of life than the fact that Jeanne Tripplehorn—who first steamed her way into movie theaters as a sexy police shrink in Basic Instinct—is returning to the world of chasing psychos? This fall, the Emmy-nominated actress gets her badge as a profiler on Criminal Minds, the popular FBI procedural entering its eighth season on CBS. A lot has happened in the 20 years between these two roles, both on-screen (she’s been in everything from The Firm to Sliding Doors to HBO’s multiwifer Big Love) and off (she married actor Leland Orser and had a son, now 10). The Juilliard-trained actress, 49, even flashed her funny bone earlier this year as Dermot Mulroney’s ex-wife on New Girl, so you can pretty much forget the old Hollywood triple threat: these days it’s called Tripple-horn.

Watch!: So what attracted you to Criminal Minds?

Jeanne Tripplehorn: Well, it kind of came out of nowhere!

Watch!: Jeanne Tripplehorn isn’t a crime procedural junkie?

Jeanne: I do not watch these shows! I have a hard enough time turning my mind off before I go to sleep, so shows like this just get me all wound up. I was not familiar with Criminal Minds, but I sat down with [executive producer] Erica Messer and [creator] Mark Gordon and just thought it was a great opportunity. It was an example of the right role at the right time.

Watch!: How so?

Jeanne: Right now, my main focus is my family and I don’t want to travel, and that narrows your field of work opportunities. I was also trying to find something that was very different from Barb, my character on Big Love. This character is very cerebral and the tone of the show is just a complete 180 from what I’ve been experiencing the last five or six years.
