I had such a great time in San Jose, CA last night at the opening party of Cinequest Film Festival. I was honored that Cinequest spotlighted me along with a few fellow actors/filmmakers before the opening night film “The Good Heart”. We were introduced to the audience of 1100 people on stage at the historic California Theater and received a standing ovation. Made me feel so good! 
Thank you to everyone there in the audience and especially those people who made it happen: Michael Rabehl, Halfdan Hussey, Kathleen Powell and many others (Stephanie, Ben etc). I loved every minute of it!
Next week come and see me at the Cinequest screenings of “The House of Branching Love” on March 3rd at 7pm and March 6th at 1:30pm (both at California Theater). I look forward to seeing you there!

Happy New Year 2010 to everyone!
Last night I watched the movie: Julie & Julia – so how fitting that I will start my blog the very next day. Both Meryl Street and Amy Adams are wonderful in it. That movie made me want to cook more than anything else. However, did not make me want to bone a chicken nor cook live seafood but that was expected as I am a vegetarian in the first place.
I just took a look back at 2009 and realized what a great year I had! I got to go to quite a few film festivals, where my films were playing and do Q and A’s in front of full theater audiences. Some of the most memorable were the Toronto International Film Festival, The Wine Country Film Festival (in Napa Valley with Oscar Nominee Rinko Kikuchi) and the AFI’s European Union Film Showcase in Washington, DC. Of course I loved the premiere of “The House of Branching Love” in Helsinki too. The movie did really well there. I think it was #2 overall for the whole year in the box office. Oh, and my co-stars: Hannu-Pekka Björkman and Elina Knihtilä just got nominated for the Jussi-awards in Finland. I am SO happy for them and wish them good luck!!
I’d like to thank 2 fabulous directors without whom I would not have gotten to have these wonderful experiences: Mika Kaurismäki (dir. of “The House of Branching Love”) and Cellin Gluck (dir. of “Sideways”). You guys are great and I love you!
