Time Framed

When I first saw the trailer for Time Framed on Xian Mikol’s Tumblr, I was absolutely hooked. With the Vampire Diaries in my queue on Hulu, I instantly recognized the dashing Ian Somerhalder as the leading man, and had to investigate further into just what this series of short films was all about.

SinFactory Media has joined forces with Somerhalder as Agent Black on a mission to save clean energy. But what is a handsome agent without a beautiful leading lady?

Xian as a sultry singer

 Xian Mikol stars alongside Somerhalder in Time Framed, and because Mikol is one of my favorite models, I reached out to her to see if she’d be willing to give me the inside news on her experience in the film.  Having spoken with her a bit before, she was more than willing to share!

Mikol describes her character in Time Framed as a “sultry singer with a lot of sass and confidence and a strong woman.” Mikol, a strong woman herself, embodies her glamorous character both on and off screen, but admits that there were a few challenges. “I wanted to do well and make sure everyone was happy with my performance. Ian encouraged me to have fun with my character.” Mikol, under the direction of Sinisha Nisevic was given a degree of freedom when channeling her character. “I had a while to work on finding out who she was, so I think I got inside her head and became her.” She was in great hands with Nisevic who she had modeled for previously in still shoot for IceLink watches. “He is so professional and knows exactly what he's doing and what he wants. He is a MASTER with lighting, he always knows how to make everything look so beautiful.”

 Thanks to her modeling career, Mikol is no stranger to the intense belaboring process that’s required. Her expertise in that field kept her focused on set and made for an easy transition into the ultra elegant role, “I loved the costumes and the hair and makeup was stunning. I felt almost at ease with the hustle and bustle of the glamour set.”

Interesting fact: The set wasn’t constructed for the movie, it was actually someone’s house.

 “We had a specific time we had to be packed up and out of there at night so the owner could come home and sleep in his own bed!”, Mikol says.

Although scheduling was tight, Xian with her easy-going personality managed to squeeze in some fun in-between takes. “Every hour on set was a funny moment! Ian and I had a lot of fun preparing our fight scenes, we often broke character and our dorky personalities came out. He was a breeze to work with, definitely not a Hollywood Diva.”

Sinisha Nisevic is truly a master in his craft, and I as a social media junkie stand in awe at the blending of these multiple platforms with such an eco-friendly  purpose, and creating excitement around real environmental change. Brace yourself- saving the world has never looked so good.

Get ready to see action, glamour, and a race around the world in a fight for clean energy as never before in this thrilling, 6 short film series, Time Framed.

Xian Mikol is definitely on the rise
