Summer Updates

Chicago summer marches on, sometimes unbearably hot, but always with something going on. And there is plenty happening here!

Commercial
One step closer to Grey's Anatomy dreams... while wearing Gray's Anatomy branded scrubs while playing a surgeon for a regional Stryker commercial ;)  She's a foot doctor that knows how to use a bone saw! Stryker sells specialized medical equipment, and I had a great day on set 'playing doctor' with my scene partner, who was a good sport with all the foot fondling that was required to get the necessary shots. 

Industrial
I shot and recorded my new scenes and VO the National Restaurant Association and their ongoing work to update and digitize the ServSafe program. In past sessions, I've always worked solo, so it was a delight to run into some fellow actors at the Motion Source studios this time around! 

Film
Vic Effects promotion is in full swing as we get closer to the official premiere and enter festival season - and we rang in the season with a win right off the jump at the Dunwich Horror Fest, with Best Feature! This is the first of several festivals we've submitted to and hoping to get selected for more we can attend in person. In the meantime, if you're anywhere near St. Charles, IL or willing to make the trip, we are so excited for the official premiere coming up on August 13th at 7pm! Tickets are on sale now at tinyurl.com/vic-effects. Most of the cast and crew will be there and we can't wait to see this odyssey of sound and fury the way it's meant to be seen - on the big screen!  You can also check out a recent interview the we did with Reaper's Underground under the Interviews tab on the homepage or on youtube.

Grinners 2: Fashion Killerz officially broke the $15k fundraising mark on IndieGogo! It's a massive accomplishment, and every bit helps so if you're looking to snag a unique perk the campaign remains In Demand on IndieGoGo! We are set to start filming in May of 2026 and it's gonna get gnarly ;) 

Meanwhile, Alien in the Heartland has debuted its first trailer (now listed under theTrailer tab on the homepage)  and the full original motion picture soundtrack, now available on Spotify! The film is still in post-production and no premiere or festival news yet, but I would expect an announcement sometime this fall. 

Finally, I had a blast attending the Chicago premiere of This is Our City. This movie is stupidly funny, and if you have the chance to see it I can't recommend it enough if you want a movie that will make you cackle start to finish. I'm so glad this Vegas-based team decided to do a Chicago premiere (featuring a handful of excellent Chicago talent, in addition to my blink and you'll miss it role). Look out for a potential NYC premiere!
