Midwinter stirrings

After a busy summer and existential autumn, it's been a snoozy winter, sprinkled with a few moments of excitement as 2025 unfolds. Here's what I've been up to since my last update!

Theatre

• Performing in No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre with the Chicago Parks Department this last fall was an absolute dream. The experience of playing Inez with this group of people really exceeded any expectations I had, with wonderful audiences, and a supportive and insanely talented cast. What a gift to honor text as rich as this. 

VO

• I briefly reunited with Dracula: The Count's Kin director, Eric Pascarelli doing voiceover work for his client Arcutis for an internal announcement video. Always happy to work my fellow CHS alum, with or without the vampires!

Commercial

• My first national commercial is on the air! Be on the lookout for Single Care commercials, and you may spot me making sure you always check the Single Care price at the pharmacy. You can see my updated Commercial Reel on my homepage which includes a clip from the commercial. 

Print

• I shot some print work with Justen Funeral Homes last fall, which may start appearing in their print materials, website, and social media sometime in the near future. The team was lovely to work with and I was impressed by the many beautiful and meaningful ways Justen Funeral Homes offers to memorialize loved ones. 

Film

• Indie horror feature Vic Effects is continuing through post-production and hit the incredible milestone of breaking $7k on our IndieGoGo support campaign!  We're an "in-demand" campaign, so you can still contribute and claim awesome perks such as posters, DVD/Blu-rays, and even producer credits. Kissing Kastles productions is building the Vic Effects universe, and this is just the beginning of a new horror odyssey. I believe so much in what Kissing Kastles is doing, I've signed on as an Associate Producer as well!
• Dracula: The Count's Kin is getting an LA premiere at the  TCL Chinese Theatres on Hollywood Blvd, as part of the Golden State Film Festival! We're showing on February 18th, Theatre 4 Block NNN (subject to change). Check out the full schedule and to buy tickets. Stop by if you're in LA, or you can always stream the film on Tubi & Prime Video.
• I picked up a fun quick role on Joseph Galizia's upcoming feature with Pretty Pretty Powerbomb Productions, This is Our City. Check me out as a 'Viral Social Media User' in this crime drama meets mockumentary comedy, featuring talent from Las Vegas, LA, Nashville, and Chicago. I met the writer/director Joey years ago in Chicago when we both got involved in a film project out of Tennessee. While that film never fully came to fruition, we've stayed in contact over the years and found a great opportunity to finally collaborate. Joey is always up to some unhinged hilarious stuff (I will never forget his one-man Nic Cage fringe fest show *chef's kiss*), so I guarantee this will be a fun ride. 
• I'll be flexing my 'newscaster' voice once more in my next role, but this time on camera! I've been cast as a Newscaster in the upcoming cosmic horror feature from Refinery Films, Riverlight. I first learned about Refinery Films from the DP of Tin Roof, Derek Huey. He worked on Refinery Films much anticipated upcoming short Grinners (starring horror icon Joe Bob Briggs!). When I heard they were auditioning for their next project, I jumped at the chance. Check for me reporting the news about the mysterious happenings in the Mississippi Valley in Riverlight - filming fall of 2025.  

Hoping to have more news soon, in the meantime - stay safe, stay weird, stay creative!
