Model Search 2007

Earlier this week I had the honour of being a judge at Model Search 2007, a modeling contest put on by Mark Montovio and Mount Productions.
Thankfully it wasn't as hot and humid as last year! It was actually a pleasant night, both weather-wise and the show.
Unfortunately, my choice didn't show on the night - I'll do a post on her later - but there were some good contestants.

The male winner, of course, could be none other than Adnan Laoudy. I've known Adnan for a while and he was in a short film I directed last year.


Female winner was Sascha McPhillips. Her photo didn't impress me, but in person she had great presence. Maybe she needs more photo time or something to bring that out on camera. She's not tall enough to be a pro model, but, I can definitely see her having some success in the local market (or perhaps acting) if she wanted it.


The runner up for females was Krisanne Alvez. This girl has a killer body, it has to be said. She didn't have the presence on stage that I would have liked, but she moved well. I think some training would bring her up to an amazing standard.



There were tears from the winners... not these winners (well, ok, Sascha had some!), but from some of the male winners. There was one guy, Nigel Usquieri, who I just couldn't make my mind up on. He was...odd! Odd is good, as you remember it (and hence I am talking about him and not others). But I just don't know if he is modelling material. But he did have something.

The show also included a couple of dance routines. One from Genyka Celecia - her first performance after a long injury. The other from a girl who's name I didn't catch (other than it was Tamara something) that was really amazing. Great choreography.

Anyway, thanks to Mark for the night.
