Hello and happy May Day!
I wanted to share a brief update, as my regular blogging has taken a back seat while navigating the ongoing global pandemic, continuing classes and skill building, and sharing my time and attention with close family and friends who’ve needed support. At this stage, I’m actively seeking agent representation as I continue building toward larger opportunities in film and television. During the pandemic, I was cast via digital audition/Zoom in the short film They Don’t Leave, a story exploring generational trauma and starring three incredible women, directed by Caz McGovern. We’re currently in pre-production and rehearsal, with filming scheduled for June 2022. In autumn 2022, I’ll also complete pick-up shots and return to the role of Queen Gertrude in an independent Montana film adaptation of Hamlet. Alongside this work, I’ve been deepening my craft through an audiobook narration class, expanding the ways I can work as an actor and storyteller. - - - - - - - - - - - - Beyond the work, there is so much still unfolding in the world. As you read this, I send a sincere note of encouragement through these words. This Earth ride has been crazy bumpy — many parts of the world are struggling terribly, people remain unsafe in their rights, and some are literally fighting for their freedom. God bless the Ukraine. Staying grounded through excellence, grace, fortitude, and fierce love is how I’m continuing forward. It’s how I keep contributing what I can. Collectively, we’re doing this too — slowly, imperfectly, and with growing awareness I hope of how to be better humans. - - - - - - - - - - - - Spring is arriving at turtle's pace. I’ve been back up on the mountain, warming up my trail legs for summer biking and hiking, and taking photos as usual. The quote paired with my recent photo has been resonating deeply — especially around owning my greatness within my very unique journey. If you’d like to stay connected, I welcome you to join me on social media and engage there respectfully. Let’s keep moving foward! Big loves xo - - - - - - - - - - - - Update May 27, 2022 The U.S. primary election is underway through June 6, 2022. Our nation needs leaders — not thoughts and prayers. Vote.
