"Cocoa" The Film
Something very exciting is on the horizon…. Cocoa is a feature film written by Jody Mortara, that I have the pleasure of both acting in as well as producing. We will be commencing our film shoot this September in and around NYC. I can’t say much just yet, but heres a little sneak peek to tide you over…
“Two very different sisters needing to remake themselves, one from a moral dilemma and the other from a bitter divorce, create and market a chocolate cake that makes you lose weight. But, during the funding ‘pitch’ party, they inadvertently kill their investor’s dog which sets off a 24 hour city-wide chase beginning with Dr. Dogwood, the eccentric vet with a ‘potion’, an encounter a bumbling terrorist, the attention of an up and coming field reporter who sees this as her shot at fame, and finding they have somehow gained the interest of mob boss Carmine Frangiolini and his opportunistic family friend, Lucas Morello, who “want to make them an offer they cannot refuse”. Somehow, through this ordeal, these two displaced sisters find themselves, create a national franchise and find they actually aren’t so different after all.”
"Moving to Quebec" Staged Reading
I am very excited to announce that I will be playing the role of Noelle in the upcoming reading of Moving to Quebec by Julian Bliss. This play is an emotionally gripping, comedy-drama that follows a group of college friends who, after losing touch since graduation, are reunited when they receive an invitation to a “going away party” from their eccentric friend Landon.
Noelle is the “Masha-like” friend, quick-witted and snarky, she is often the straight man to the absurdity of the group’s antics. She has a cynical outlook on the world, which she combats through heavy drinking and smoking, but proves immensely wise and resourceful when her friends are in crisis.
We will be recording a reading of the play at the end of August for the public to view, in hopes of staging a full production in NYC in the coming months. Keep your eyes peeled here for more information, including how you can eventually watch the reading of this killer play.

Greens Farms Academy Blog Post - "Book of Names"
I was approached by my alma mater, Greens Farms Academy, to do an interview about my time working with the students on Book of Names this Spring. It was such a gift to be a part of this piece, and what an amazing way to get back on an actual stage after a year of virtual performances and distancing ourselves from each other.
If you feel so inclined, please give it a read. It perfectly encapsulates my time with the GFA Theatre program this past Spring. Interview is linked in the button below.

"Coquille" Shoot
This weekend I had the pleasure of being a part of a short film Coquille, written and directed by Artem Repin and Nikolai Berger. The whole film centers around my character lounging about in a strangers bath tub, I can’t really tell you any more than that, but needless to say my hands were sufficiently pruny by the end of the day. It was such fun working with the team, and I can’t wait to see the finished product. Hopefully my fingers and toes won’t look too scary on camera.
Wear Softwear Photoshoot
Today I had the chance to work with Wear Softwear again, and be a part of their Spring/Summer 2021 clothing campaign.

That's a Wrap on "Book of Names"
This past weekend we officially wrapped on our half theatre, half film production of Book of Names. It was truly an incredible experience to be making a piece of theater, inside of an actual theater, with a group of people during this very odd time for making art. It is an experience I will never forget, and will always be appreciative for. Not only was I able to lend a hand to my Alma Mater, but I was also able to be fulfilled as a theater artist for the first time in over a year.
Keep a lookout for a link to watch our filmed production of Book of Names, streaming on a computer near you very soon! But until then… click the button below for a sneak peek!
Capstan Music Video Shoot
This past weekend I was a part of an extremely cold and extremely cool shoot for a music video up in OId Orchard Beach, Maine. We were shooting the music video for the single “Shattered” as part of Capstan’s newest album release. The video follows my character through a long night of mishaps and mayhem as she stumbles around a small beach town in winter trying to get her bearings on life and on herself. We shot this whole thing over the course of two nights, and let me tell you everyone involved was an absolute BEAST. No matter how cold or how late it got everyone was so on top of things, and made these very long night shoots a ton of fun.
For now, the finished product is still under-wraps, but I will be sure to share it as soon as I am able to! For now, if you want to get a feel for Capstan’s music, click on the button below.
