Official Film Poster for “Victim No. 6”

I am so pleased to share the official poster for “Victim No. 6“, designed by Am|Co Art & Design Studio!  I am so happy with how this turned out; we were going for a throwback 70’s vibe, while giving people a sense of what the film is about… and we think we pretty much nailed it!  Also, how cool is it that I’m a cartoon…???

We’ve begun submitting to festivals and look forward to having some big news to share about our premiere very soon!

I’m a Proud Member of SAG-AFTRA!

November 15, 2019actingSAG, SAG-AFTRAHeather Brittain O'Scanlon

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.

#DoryOscanlon says good morning! 😸 #DoryOscanlon says good morning! 😸
GRATITUDE... 2020 has been a struggle for most of GRATITUDE... 2020 has been a struggle for most of us, myself included. And, for a lot of us (myself included), “struggle” is an understatement for what this year has brought. 
At the beginning of 2020 (pre-pandemic), coming off of the loss of my mother, I made a conscious decision to start to LIVE IN GRATITUDE. Was my life perfect? No. Did I still have healing to do? Absolutely. But I made the decision to focus my energy on what I was thankful for, rather than my heartbreak and loss. And I truly had so much to be thankful for! Personally, I had a new appreciation for my family & my friends - and for my health, after spending years focused on my mother’s health and neglecting my own. I became more focused on nurturing my family, my relationships, and also making self-care a priority. 
Then the pandemic hit and life as we all know it was forever changed. 
And believe me, I had my own challenges with it. I may not post a lot of personal stuff on social media, so a lot of you wouldn’t know that. Social media is a funny thing... Some people feel comfortable putting all of their ailments and worries out there for public consumption. I’m not personally comfortable with that. (But, hey, whatever floats your boat!) At the same time, I don’t like posting happy posts if I’m dealing with a personal struggle. It feels inauthentic if I do and I just generally feel yucky about it.
So I went through periods over the last 8 months or so where I really wasn’t posting much. Sometimes life gets a little harder and you just have to ride it out. And I continue to do that... I have to say, the mindset that helped me through my most difficult times was one of gratitude. 
It’s not always easy to focus on what’s good when it feels like life is throwing all the bad things in your lap. But, for me, shifting to a place of gratitude has made all of the difference. 
There’s still healing to be done and personal growth to be achieved, but I’m a lot stronger, healthier and happier than I was a year ago, COVID be damned! 
And I’m oh-so thankful. 🙏🏼
Happy Thanksgiving, Friends! What’s one thing you’re thankful for?
