The year of the anna

Hi everyone, I’m way behind on the Anna news. I booked a commercial in September for Seattle Bank! It’s the first through my wonderful agent. I got him a Starbucks gift card for Christmas. I hope you remembered to send your reps a Christmas card and small gift. This year I need to book some […]

Marching On

Hi everyone, It’s officially my birth month and it’s still quarantine! I have not been able to get that vaccine yet, but I was tested twice to be an extra on a SAG set last week for a new TV series. (I have two vouchers and you need three to be SAG-eligible.) I officially don’t […]

Days Of Auditions Past

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all staying healthy, wearing your masks, and keeping up that social distancing.  As an introvert who often has to take breaks from dealing with people, it’s not so hard for me to keep my social distance, but it gets lonely after a while.  I don’t get to hug anyone!  Except […]

On Stand By

Hi all, I have my LA apartment.  It’s smaller than my former living room, but it has an accent wall, a granite counter top, gated access, my own parking space, and no cockroaches.  At first, I was so upset about uprooting my life and coming back to the place that broke my bank account and […]

First of May

Hi all, I had a pretty productive weekend, at least my Saturday was full of awesomeness.  In the morning, I filmed a part in a short film for the Phoenix Comic Con Film Challenge and the top 10 entries are played at the Con itself.  I can’t give away any details, but you’ll love what […]

Turkeys on Parade

Hi all, I’m squeezing in a November post and Happy Thanksgiving!  There are a great deal of things going on in my schedule.  I was part of the table reading for the upcoming SAG-AFTRA film, Bogie and Bacall.  It was my first table reading and I hope to be part of the film.  I also […]

Monsoon Season

Hi all, Looks like I missed a post for July.  Two weeks ago, my friend, Luca Patruno, and I made our film short, Climbing Stairs.  He organized about everything and even bought lunch.  I had the pleasure of working with Brian Osback as DP and Robert Price as the Head of Sound.  I was so […]
