Away We Happened: Episode 1!
5:00 AM
Away We Happened is finally here! The very first episode of the project I have been working on with Wong Fu Productions and AT&T is finally up at AwayWeHappened.com. This has been a new adventure for me since this is the first time I've done any real acting (Does playing "Puck" in A Midsummer Night's Dream in high school theater count? lol.) and I am so anxious, nervous, and excited to share it with you!
To give a bit of insight into the concept of the project, here is the Trailer with the Wong Fu guys explaining how the series will work:
You guys watch the video, go to awaywehappened.com and submit your suggestions for what should happen in the next episode, and vote on which plot you like the most! Then our team is going to write, film, edit, and upload the next episode in just a few days. As of this moment, I have no second script in hand and have no idea what will happen next!!!
I know you are waiting to see episode 1 so... *drumroll*
Here it is!
My heart was racing so hard watching this video for the first time since it's as much of a surprise for me as it was for you. Still totally in disbelief and such an honor to be working with such talented and wonderful people.
Now I'm leaving Boulder today for a stop overnight in Vegas on my road trip, then onward to LA! I'll be looking forward to reading all of your comments as I make my way West. :D
Did you enjoy it?? What do you think should happen next?
Let me know down below and I'll see you guys very soon!

wow that was awesome, great episode. Give us more.
ReplyDeleteYou guys look really good together!!! :) I never thought u can also act like that jen!! You are truly TALENTED!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited! :D Absolutely love Wongfu and can't wait to see the future epis ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW that was wonderful, can't wait for the next episode, what a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteOf course they should meet and I think the letter is for her ex-boyfriend, with whom she broke up with recently.
this is such an interesting concept, how the audience decides. I'm hooked already! <3 Great work!
ReplyDeleteJen, you look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think the ex-boyfriend angle for the letter is a bit obvious, but maybe it could be for someone else, like an estranged relative. Maybe she doesn't have a good relationship with one of her parents or something.
This short is super cute! I actually saw it before this post and I'm looking forward to the next episode! Drive safe! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the first episode! you and viktor already look good together. ^^

I thought it was so cute! I will definitely watch :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job to the team...And good luck whit the project you are gourgeous!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJen, I love the video! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see epi2! I think Jean should totally say yes to meeting in person. But I think she won't say it right away bc they'll talk all night first. That letter in the beginning is maybe a goodbye letter??? Great work! Looking beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, i giggled the whole time! this clip is waaaayyy too adorable! :DDD i am all smiles now. why did it end there?! Jade should respond YES, and i want to know who the letter is for also. i hope the next episode doesn't take too long! :] great job, Jen!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, as everyone has already posted. I liked the pace of the story so far. It isn't so cutesy and cliched (as in they hate each other and then fall in love). Your character reveals little bits of herself without being too heavy handed. And, there is a vulnerability in the guy that I like. Can't wait to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteFunny, when I saw your name was "Jean" all I could think of was "ExtraPetite!" lol. The styling was fantastic. You look petite, but not super small-- just very classy and stylish. Agreed that you need a tutorial on the makeup for the episode.
Well done!
You did so well what an interesting start to a series!! So looking forward to the next bit!
ReplyDeleteThis is my version:
ReplyDeleteYou agreed to meet up at you and Daniel's meeting point. You came there, happily and anxiously, but you didn't meet him. You've waited an hour, without any notification, and Daniel's phone was off. Yo went home, feeling mad, silly and stupid of trusting people too quick, and embarrassed of the happy and anxious feeling at first. In the end, you decided to just mail out the luggage to him.
Can't wait for the next ep!
Oh Jen, this is so cool! I really enjoyed this episode, and were already catch by the concept, let the audience help to decide what will happen next? Awesooome! Haha
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the next episode! (:
it was your birthday and in the letter was your wishes for the year. You thought he would fulfill one of them. So you said yes.
ReplyDeleteTUTORIAL! Lol It was AWESOME!! Great job! :D
ReplyDeleteJen I loved it.. i can't wait for the next episode..you guys looked great in the series.. Well done!!!! Continue doing the awesome great job!!
ReplyDeleteGreat!!!! Can't wait for the next episode. Continue with your awsome job!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great job! You looked so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, Jen! You're so multitalented. :) And I love the blazer you wear in the first half. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteI took a break on reading BLOGS. I shouldn't do that. LOL. LOVE THE NEW LAYOUT to your page! LOVE episode 1. Keep um coming. Congradulations on the project.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, to let us decide what should happen ;)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a beginning of a love story ;)
wow....super awesummmm gr8 work gal :)
ReplyDeletekudos.all the best :)
Ruhie
Amazing! btw, I cannot believe how tiny you look even with heels on!
ReplyDeleteacupofteashirt.blogspot.com
my version is :
ReplyDeleteYou agreed to meet up. But after the phone conversation, you had a second thought. And flash back of what happened with the letter. The letter was from your ex boyfriend that wanted to reconcile because both of you had a misunderstanding in the past but he patch it up. But still you are considering. Now you have to choose either a new flame or an ex flame.
You decided to leave it to faith and text Victor giving him excuse that you will send the bag to him instead. He was a bit disappointed and assumed that maybe you are already in a relationship. But then the day before Victor send the bag over for delivery, he accidentally dropped the bag and somehow the locks were broken thus exposing the stuff in the bag. One of it was the letter...
He hesitated whether to read it or not.. At last, he read it and he discovered something...
wow the things that u do just keep getting more and more exciting! =) love this video, keep up the great work =)
