GET TO KNOW ME

What’s up, y’all? Welcome to my page.

If you don’t know much about me, you soon will.

Firstly, I like to laugh. A lot. And about things that are weird. Frequently allowing my imagination to run amuck. To run wild. Because wild is free. And I don’t enjoy feeling contained. 

I also like to spend a lot of time by myself, exploring and observing. I most enjoy being on the road, in my tent, hiking trails, wandering, wondering, and bringing back with me a sense of augmented reality, realizing I’m smaller in this world than I think, and the world is large for a reason.

Each of these explorations means something. Deeply. I like figuring out what makes a human tick, what drives them, what scares them, because that’s where we find our humanity. In our gaps and cracks and crevices, the places where we slowly begin to unravel.

Bringing a greater understanding of that humanity to my work allows me to build characters and stories both as an actor and a producer that are well-rounded and feel real with their own idiosyncrasies that make them special and relatable.

Some recent moments in my life I'm most proud of include playing the leading role in the WW2 fantasy drama, The Plumber, loosely based on real-life heroine Irena Sendler's life for which, with only 9 lines of dialogue, I secured 6 best actress nominations, including one alongside Evangeline Lilly. 

I was also awarded the 2020 Women in Film Fellowship Award through the Shawna Foundation for which I wrote, directed, and acted in my mockumentary horror-comedy, My Friends The Plants. This creative endeavor had a fantastic festival run attending over 50 festivals and receiving over 35 awards & nominations including 3 best actress wins, 2 best actress nominations [one of which was at Kevin Smith's SModCastle Film Festival alongside Chris Gethard and Godfrey], 3 best directing awards [the first being at the inaugural WhoHaHalloween, a festival run by Elizabeth Banks' co-founded platform, WhoHaHa], and a handful of best comedy awards. For these recognitions, I couldn't have felt more grateful. My Friends The Plants now lives on the streaming platform, TVHi.

In early 2023, I wrapped production as a lead in the feature film We Could Still be Pen Pals, you can catch that film on AppleTV & Amazon Prime Video.

 

In 2024, a project I played the lead in, Zimby, wrapped and is eyeing a very excitingly-anticipated festival run for this fun horror comedy.

2026 rolled in with my most recent project, Frankslist, which I wrote, directed, acted in, and edited. It's played at reputable fests such as HollyShorts Comedy, Portland Film Festival, North Hollywood Cinefest, and Laugh After Dark. We took home best short film at The Shawna Shea Film Festival and best comedy at Lois Weber. We still have a ways to go in our festival run, with a very well-anticipated fall sprint.

Total Party Kill is another project currently on the festival circuit. I produced and acted in this horror comedy following a group of women playing a TTRPG game only to find out one of their minis is possessed. It had it's world premiere at Cinefest, took home Best Long Form Short at PanicFest, Best Gamer Short at GenCon, where I had the opportunity as a speaker on four film panels

 

My current docket includes growing the production company I opened in 2024, Gremlin Express. With multiple films in various stages of production, from development to making rounds on the festival circuit, Gremlin Express is quickly making leaps and bounds in the genre world.
