kittens, last year, when i wasn't scoping out george nelson chairs or contemplating men with cats, i worked in the art department on CONTAGION. yep, i researched bio-safety labs, studied hazmat suits, composited airport scenarios and made location presentations. not very whorange, i know, but fascinating beyond belief. (and, honey, i can assure you -- hazmat suits can cover up even the worst hair day.)
jokes aside, contagion a fascinating and scary film (and beautifully shot to boot). i am honored to have been a part of it. i loved the crew and steven soderbergh is a cinematic genius, so in was a win-win-win situation.
go see it this weekend! however, if anybody in audience coughs nearby, i guarantee it will send chills up your spine. you may want to put a little purell in your purse.

I wasn't sure if I was going to see this movie (even though I love Kate Winslet) because I'm a little squeamish, but now that I know you worked on it I will make a point to see it in the theater. Congratulations!

i was already planning to see this (can you say amazing cast?), but now i'm even more psyched.

I've been a huge fan of Soderberghs for as long as I can remember. What a great film to be a part of. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing it.

Oh cool!!! Can I find you in the credits? If so I'll wait around and look for you.

Some scenes were shot a few blocks from my house, at a hospital that is now empty (the same one I was born at!). Apparently the word on the set was that Matt Damon was very nice, Gwyneth not so much.

I didn't know you worked in film. Thats so cool. I think you need to work for Mad Men :)

I have to be honest, I think this is a rental for me, because I'm a bit of a germaphobe and the thought of seeing this in a crowded theater freaks me out.

Yes, my name is there. Don't blink, though, because it goes by fast ;)

That's so cool that the one and only Thombeau was born there!

I used to have the biggest crush on Jude Law and Matt Damon. Are they cute in real life?
