I've Moved...

Blogs, that is.

My new blog is Tiffany Apan Blog and I will be blogging there regularly (planning on every Thursday).

The blog will also be linked to the new tiffanyapan.com being launched soon and The Birthrite Series Website.

So go on over to the new official blog. It's where all the fun is. I promise. :)

Eerie Frequency Expo and Midnight Massacre

Due to being super busy right now, I've been a terrible promoter for this event. But I will be a guest here plus I'll be filming a couple of my scenes for the film "Midnight Massacre" here too! :)

Changes to Events and New Website Coming

Hey everyone,

There has been a change to the November events with the cancellation of the Sears Zombie-Thon.  But the Pop Culture and Toy Expo later in the month is still on.

Check out events here.

Also, I'm at work now on the new website and am looking forward to having all my stuff together in one place!  I'll update you on that as it continues to build :)

Have a lovely evening,
Tiffany

Quick News Update

Hey everyone!

As we go through changes, updgrades, etc here, I have some news updates.

One is that Horror Realm is this weekend at which I'm featured as a guest.  The website info is below and if you can make it, stop by my table!  I'll have cool promo items and junkfood :)

Horror Realm Con Website

Another is that I'm officially signed onto three new films that are currently in the pre-production and production phases.  Two are with Eerie Frequency Entertainment and the other is with World Parody Productions.  I will announce one of those saying that I have officially signed on as the character "Jane" in Matt Jefferson's The Downfall of Mr. Difford.  I'm really excited about this film (along with the others).  Mr. Difford is what I would describe as being Silence of the Lambs meets American Psycho with a touch of Dexter.  I will update you on this and the other projects as we go :)

On the music front (in addition to new material for my upcoming new album), the film Dying 2 Meet U in which the songs "Lost Little Girl" and "Warrior" was featured, won in the Best Cinematography and placed second in the Suspense-Thriller categories at the International Indie Gathering Film Festival.  It was also screened recently at Scare-A-Con in New York.
The film with Faux Pas Films, Ovulation, in which "Ashes to Dust" is featured is also set to be released soon and we will be updating on that as we get info.
Along with that, the fine folks at LegacyVerse Productions will be featuring three songs in their forthcoming film, Reaper 3 and there is also our awesome partnership with the folks at Ghost Walk Studios.  We are currently working on three new songs for them:  two for their film, The Dawson War and a theme song for their forthcoming tv/webseries!  More on all of those coming soon :)

And speaking of music, if you are a filmmaker and want to use our music but don't want any vocals on them?  Well, we have released The Poet Instrumentals through CDBaby, iTunes, and Amazon.  It features all compositions and arrangements of the songs from my album Poet without the vocals.

Check it out on CDBaby as well as iTunes and Amazon!  It is available for downloading only.

On the writing front, along with the Bloodlines series, I'm also going to be part of an anthology project (tenatively titled the 'Bay Window' project) in which I'll be writing two vignettes.

As far as producing goes, we are almost finished with Driving Nowhere.  We are working on coordinating the last shoot and have rough edited what we have so far.

More detailed updates will be posted as there is much to come :)

Photos from the Indie Gathering International Film Festival this Passed Weekend

DYING 2 MEET U at the Indie Gathering, Other Screenings, My Tumblr, and More to Come!

Hi everyone,

I know its been a while since I've really given a good update here.  We've been going through a sort of "transitional period" with the production company and projects as we move on from the plane we managed to very proudly get to.  After returning from the Indie Gathering International Film Festival this weekend, I will be beginning work on my new official website so that everyone can have a central place to visit and see all my stuff (music, film, writing, and probably more as I explore new terrains of the entertainment world).  I plan to have the new website up by year's end.  This will also mean a slight revamping of the newsletter too.  I also have a couple new film acting roles that I will get to once I begin filming them on set.

I also feel it is time to finish the next full length album.  My original plan was to have it out in 2010, about a year or two apart from 2008's POET (though I have released smaller EPs and singles).  But life and other projects happened and since then, I've grown quite a bit as not only a songwriter but as a human being and because of that?  I think that this next album is going to actually be even more exciting and fun to put out than if I had done a more regimented release.  But now I feel ready to dive right in.

Also, I'm posting never released and "long lost" photos on my Tumblr Page so swing by and check that out.  :)

I'm also happy to say that another film I'm involved with (musically) is now an award winner, winning second place in the Suspense-Thriller category.  The film is DYING 2 MEET U and it will also screen Saturday evening before the after party.  We will also be performing a short set at the after-party (one song will be one of the songs featured in DYING 2 MEET U).  Visit the Indie Gathering's page for more info:

Indie Gathering International Film Festival

I'll also have a table there with some nifty promo items, so stop by this event.  :)

I also found out that another film I act in and narrate, RESOLUTION: A PORTRAIT OF AMELIA EARHART, will also be screened in Episode 5 of Brodian's Basement.  More info is at their website.

Well, I will have alot of video to edit after the Indie Gathering so there will be plenty of new material for the YouTube Channel.  I'm looking forward to beginning work on my new website so that everything will be in one place :)

Have a great weekend,
Tiffany

New Review of a Film I'm In (and Awesome Quote About Me That Totally Made My Day)

Quote of me in a review for a film I'm in that just totally made my day:

"...in the field of indie actresses these days who seem to pop up like weeds she stands out just for being so real, and have that girl next door look and personality." ~JamesD, WickedChannel
