Hi Valerie...I'm an actor here in london. my agency is AIM. Last summer i was in a film with Stellan Skasgaard and Danny Huston called Boogie Woogie- you can find my CV on google under Ebe Sievwright. I also play professional polo, although it is limited to 2 goals as acting is my priority. I have dreamed of making a decent polo film for years, especially turn of the century stuff. I lived on an estancia in Argentina and often return. But my experience is not in writing. I do think that I could contribute in a major way to your project as I have been observing the scene through the eyes of a fully trained actor for about six years now and grown up around polo. I would love to be involved...or at the very least allowed to cast when the time comes..
please let me know. my email is ebe@polo.tv
Hello All, My apologies for failing to answer individual queries in last weeks; have been offline many days (San Antonio de Areco, back and forth to Pilar), and now am in last days in Buenos Aires, back to U.S. What a rollercoaster! Claudia, I'm so sorry I didn't get to your magic estancia, though the veranda at El Ombu was a delight. More to all of you when I'm reorganized at a real desk again! Can't wait to gather up all the loose pieces and go nuts on rewrites. Yee hah! Cheers, Valerie
