Kathi Carey Actor

2007 started off with Kathi shooting a pilot for a TV series entitled "Yokai." The particular 'episode' that was shot is "The Hammers Move In." Kathi plays the lead, Betsi Hammer, a World War II-era scientist who accidentally injected herself with a vampire virus and is now immortal (and has other "powers" as well). We can't give away all of the details of the project yet ... but suffice it to say that the character and project are very interesting and a lot of fun (think "Heroes" meets "The Addams Family"). Kathi is involved in the 'live-action version' -- a 'Japanese anime version' is being done at the same time in Japan, using the video as a guide to what the characters should look like. Below you can see what the Japanese anime version of Kathi's character looks like.

As 2009 winds to a close, the last project of the year for Kathi is promoting her Christmas CD -- Kathi Carey and Friends sing This is the Best Christmas. It is a CD Sampler, which includes 4 different versions of the timeless, classic Christmas song that Kathi and her husband David wrote together a couple of years ago. There are a variety of ways to enjoy a sample of this song -- clicking on the link to the left will take you to iTunes where you can buy individual tracks of the song. Clicking on the CDBaby icon will take you to CDBaby, where you can hear samples of the song and read about the various artists who are on the CD with Kathi. You can also buy the CD or a digital download of the CD at CDBaby. You can go to a MySpace page or a YouTube link as well. The MySpace page even allows you to "vote" for the artist YOU think should record this nostalgic Christmas classic. Enjoy!

Worth is a short film that Kathi wrote, produced, directed and starred in, which was filmed in the Summer of 2008. Inspired by the poem Touch of the Master's Hand and based on the theme "you can't judge a book by it's cover" the film has already been well-received -- it has won 25 awards in the first 9 months of its festival run, been a finalist at two Academy-qualifying festivals and screened at 26 festivals. You can click on the mini-poster to the left to go to the film's website to find out more about this touching little film.

I had no intention of making a feature about the subject of breast cancer. My short film Reflections of a Life said everything on the subject that needed to be said ... or so I thought. But an interesting thing happened during its festival run...
