After attending Texas State University for a year, where she studied theater and played a couple of lead roles, Hope Jaymes embarked upon the brave journey to Los Angeles, leaving her theatrical roots for a career in film. Jaymes recalls, "I was completely new to L.A. I really had no idea what I was doing, but all I knew was there was an audition for a girl named Sommer." She had seen the breakdown on BackStage.com and was off and running. Though the fear of not knowing what to do or where to start in a new town may have overwhelmed Jaymes, the thrill of booking a job quelled her fright rather quickly. Jaymes' first "real" audition landed her a supporting role in the independent horror feature "Jack the Reaper" within two months of arriving in L.A. The film's executive producer–director-writer, Kimberly Seilhamer, notes that Jaymes was "fabulous" on set.
