Holy Cow!!! In addition to our “Best Short Film” nomination, I’ve been nominated for “Best Actor (Female)” at the Golden Gate International Film Festival for my work in “As It Seems“.

It feels so good to be recognized in this way – Many thanks to my director, Nancy Menagh, to our awesome cast and crew, and to Net Effect Media and the Golden Gate International Film Festival! I’m a happy girl!

“As It Seems” screens this Saturday, October 29th, 4:10 PM at AMC Theaters Cupertino.
