Rachel Galvin featured in music video
Rachel Galvin and Andrew Brown on set of music video
Rachel Galvin was featured in a music video directed by Troy Bernier of Ginnungagap Filmwerks. The singer is Scott Opiela and the song is “Time to Go, The Sacrifice.” Shooting took place on Aug. 14. The setting was a distant planet. Galvin played an astronaut who must run for her life. NASA may be shut down, but the dreams of planetary travel live on. The outfits may not be as elaborate as a Lady Gaga video, but they were custom-made.
The song is part of the soundtrack for a fun sci-fi romp called “Planeta Desconocido,” a film guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve seen before. Featuring green screen shots, Tron-esque graphics and a futuristic landscape, the film is a bit like a video game with a game of cat and mouse between good and evil with tragic results.

Rachel Galvin starts acting coaching
Rachel Galvin returns to coaching actors by working in collaboration with Talina Adamo Oblander’s Black Onyx Productions. She will be working with actors to help hone their script in preparation for a demo reel scene to be shot by Oblander.

She is in plans to do a basics seminar (also with Oblander) at the end of July. Plans to be announced soon. This will follow many of the points she covers in her book “Basics of the Biz,” but will elaborate on her standard seminar which has been featured at the Delray Beach and Lake Worth film festivals.
