I am so pleased to share my third spot for Scary Mommy & Welch’s Fruit Snacks! I loved reuniting with my scary kids from our last video as well as Director Nick Fabiano and his fantastic crew! Check it out and have a giggle!

I had a blast working with Nick Fabiano and the Scary Mommy team again! This was my third Scary Mommy shoot – and this was a special Halloween edition spot! I reunited with my Scary kids from our last shoot, and loved solidifying that “family” with another hilarious piece! This is sure to be another viral video – our last had over 3.7 Million views!

Back To School: What You Hope For vs. What It Is
Posted by Scary Mommy on Friday, August 18, 2017
It’s that time of year again… the leaves are just starting to turn, the kids are milking what’s left of the summer, the parents are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel… and my newest video for Scary Mommy is up!
Branded content for Welch’s Fruit Snacks – I’m thankful I was able to work with director Nick Fabiano and the Some Spider team once more! Co-starring the talented and adorable Dane West & Yana Samarska!
Screen shot from “At The End Of The Cul-de-Sac” (L-R) Jude Sandy, Jordan Reeves, Kimiye Corwin, Lynn Berg, Hadley Boyd, Heather Brittain O’Scanlon
TONIGHT – “At The End Of The Cul-de-Sac” screens at HollyShorts! 10 PM at TCL Chines Theaters!!!
Directed by Paul Trillo, this twisted little film is not to be missed! In one continuous shot, a man (Gabe Fazio) has a public meltdown in the middle of a residential cul-de-sac. A marvel of drone cinematography, carefully choreographed action and an awesome ensemble cast!
This Vimeo Staff Pick premiered at Palm Springs International Shortfest, has been written up in several industry publications, and it was featured in TIME Magazine… and it’s just getting started!
If you miss this screening in Los Angeles, you can watch it online HERE.

“The Last Visit”, starring Alexis Lariviere and Dan Berkey and directed by Mark Clauburg premiered at the Jersey Shore Film Festival! We had a packed house for our screening AND I was able to reunite with my “Benny’s Recital” co-star Ashley Licata, who plays my daughter in “The Last Visit”. This sweet film will screen next in September at the Northeast Film Festival and in October at the Golden Door Film Festival!
