I am so pleased to announce that you can now watch the short comedy, “Therapy, Bro“, online!
“Therapy, Bro” stars Wally Marzano-Lesnevich (“Almost Paris”), Francesco Nuzzi (“Star Crossed Lovers”), Garry Pastore (“The Irishman”, HBO’s “The Deuce”) and ME! Directed by John Hedlund, this fun film will have you rolling!
When two old friends decide to act as each other’s therapist, they discover that they have a lot more issues to work through than they thought.
I am now SAG-AFTRA member!
This particular milestone was a long time coming, and feels incredibly good! I held off becoming SAG for as long as I could; I wanted to gain more experience and hone my craft, which working on non-union projects and independent films afforded me. I am so thankful for the challenges and opportunities I’ve had so far, which have brought me to this point. And I’m looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities I will have, as I take my career to the next level!
“Wicked Image” Official Film Poster
“Wicked Image” is officially complete and being submitted to festivals!
Lucifer, Satan and the Devil meet with a corporate PR agent to rehabilitate their images — which includes reminding the world that they’re women. However, they quickly discover that the PR agent is more evil than they are.
I am so very proud to be a part of this smart, funny, female driven project! Written and directed by Caitlin Scherer, starring myself, Jessica Sherr, Leigh Corbett, Hope Blackstock and Gabriel Rysdahl. We had such an incredible time making this pilot episode, and I expect you’ll be seeing a lot more of these three devils in the future. But, until then, Festival Season is coming!!!

…It took me a few days to catch my breath and wrap my mind around our film shoot for “Victim No. 6”. I am feeling oh-so-thankful and proud of what we accomplished. First of all, I need to give a big shout out to my producing partner, and our writer/director, my friend, Nancy Menagh. And we were supported by the most incredible team of filmmakers and actors… Everything was on point, from the performances, to the costumes to the hair and makeup to the production design to the lighting and the images and moments we captured. It was a tough shoot, with long nights, topped off with one final long night, outdoors in the (nearly freezing) cold (for which somehow none of us were dressed appropriately). But our team banded together and made movie magic. I really think we have something special here.
We have so many great behind-the-scenes pics I don’t know what to post first, but I’ll start with these (not yet color-corrected) screenshots by our director of photography, Spike Bauman.
