APRIL NEWS
So excited that the pilot for "I Love you But..." was honored with Best Comedy at the Los Angeles Film awards and was an official selection of the Golden State Film Festival.
Written and directed by Dean Donofrio, this half hour dramedy follows the misadventures of two sisters and their mother as they struggle to learn how far one must go for harmony in relationships. We shot in Los Angeles and the beautiful wine country of the Santa Ynez Valley. Shout out to Future Perfect wine for hosting us in their wine tasting room! Starring Sunny Doench, Gloria Loring, and Alan Aymie, I'm excited to see where this project heads next.
Minnerglade screened at the Los Angeles Short Film fest this month and came in 2nd place for Best Short! Congratulations to our cast and crew!
Met director Jonathan Hurtado on his set of Minnerglade and had such an amazing time shooting this surreal, out of the box drama. He invited me back on his set a few months later to shoot a music video. So grateful to have met such a talented young director!
After a successful festival run with screenings in Catalina, Mammoth Lakes and San Jose, the short film "Harbor" has been released by Omeleto. Watch the film HERE. Shot in November 2022 in Gold Beach, Oregon. I was so happy to work with the amazing Keegan Duncan on the short film "Harbor." It is an absolutely gorgeous, emotional short film in a stunning location. It stars Jack Norris and Pamela Portnoy.
I won Best Actress at the annual Independent Shorts Awards! It was a great night and I'm so proud of Cue Jane and my director Sophie Gao's vision for it. I met some amazingly talented people that night and I'm excited to see where their careers take them. Thanks ISA!
"Second Opinion" directed by Bryan Louie premiered at the Huntington Beach Film Festival. This 10 minute short follows a woman dealing with her husband's terminal diagnosis. I was very proud of what Bryan did with this story. I found his work subtle yet emotional.
