“O’Scanlon delivers a brickhouse-solid performance” – ScreenAnarchy Review

August 18, 2021acting, Festivals, Film, Press, Reviews, Victim No. 6Heather Brittain O'Scanlon

Fantasia 2021: BORN OF WOMAN Shorts Program Pack Punches, Perspectives

Michele “Izzy” Galgana
EDITOR, U.S.; CALIFORNIA
Heather Brittain O’Scanlon in “Victim No. 6”“Victim No. 6 follows, from the very-talented Nancy Menagh (U.S.). At 22 minutes, most short films don’t get programmed at festivals. However, this desaturated, ’70s period piece is so well done that the time flies by with all the flourish of those long, butterfly collars on display. There’s a slasher on the loose, and with so many women missing, nerves are frayed. Lead Heather Brittain O’Scanlon delivers a brickhouse-solid performance that anchors the piece, easily switching between motivations and moods — she makes acting seem effortless, and I’d like to see her in more films. In concert with Menagh, this film flips power dynamics in ways that are more surprising and less cliche. This film could be a great proof of concept for a series or feature; I’d love to see more female villains like this.“

Change. Growth. Gratitude. 2022 wasn’t an easy Change. Growth. Gratitude. 

2022 wasn’t an easy year 
for me, but you wouldn’t know that from my instagram feed; I tend to keep my personal life personal, especially the difficult parts (a reminder to not compare your life with anyone’s social media feed!)… 
But the silver lining to difficult times are the beautiful souls who rise up to support you. I am so blessed in the friend department and, because of them, despite the difficulties life threw my way this year, I was able to find moments of joy. I celebrate these moments and the dear friends whom I consider family. 
And we had some great success with #VictimNo6 this year, which turns out to be the gift that keeps on giving. 
I close out 2022 with so much gratitude and love in my heart. 🤍🙏🏼
Happy New Year to you all!

What a magical, whirlwind of a weekend we spent, c What a magical, whirlwind of a weekend we spent, celebrating my dear friend Ainsley’s 50th birthday! While the beautiful location, perfect weather, impeccable service, delicious food and fabulous parties (and karaoke!!!) were already mind blowing, my biggest takeaway from those 3 days were the wonderful people Ainsley keeps near and dear. But it is no surprise; Ainsley’s kind, generous and youthful spirit could only attract the best people to her life, all of whom I’m happy to now call friends. 🤍 Thank you @chrismorgan_1205 & @ainsley1213 for being the most gracious of hosts, and the most steadfast of friends. 🙏🏼
