Happy New Year!
January 2, 2010
i woke up this morning both excited for 2010, but also re-inspired to tend my highly neglected blog.
new years has always been a time for deep self reflection…thinking about the year ending…all that i am grateful for, and all that i have experienced, felt, built and achieved. i also always take the time to think about what i want to create in the year to come…but first… a re-cap of 2010. acting wise, this was the most exciting and fruitful year to date.
starting with: two awesome supporting roles in Lifetime’s “KILLER HAIR”, and “HOSTILE MAKEOVER”. i got to play a really fun character, Brooke Barton, a conservative lawyer obsessed with conspiracy theories. the best part of the whole experience (other than the fantastic wardrobe of course!) was the wonderful friends i made on that set. Maggie Lawson is not only a fantastic actress but also one of the kindest, most loveliest people i have ever met. the whole experience was a dream come true.
On set of "Hostile Makeover"
after those two films, i had the very lucky opportunity to play the anti-thesis of Brooke, in a film called “A GUN TO THE HEAD”. i played Karen, a psychopathic, very dark young woman. here’s the official lowdown: Trevor (Tygh Runyan), reformed criminal, is facing a miserable evening as his wife, Grace, plays host to her obnoxious boss Dwayne and his intolerable spouse, Audrey. When the phone rings, Trevor finds his excuse to step out for a quick pint with his long-lost hustler cousin and former partner in crime, Darren (Paul Anthony). Ostensibly stepping out for ‘more wine’, Trevor instead steps into a wild night that goes from bad to worse as he is dragged back into the sleezy criminal underworld of drugs, women, guns and gangsters, that he thought he’d left behind. Part buddy movie, part sex comedy, A Gun To The Head is a tale of compulsive poor-decision making that starts when Trevor steals the keys to a fancy SUV and is fueled by cousin Darren’s impulsive scheming, scamming and propensity for screwing-up. A Gun to the Head is Vancouverite Blaine Thurier’s (of The New Pornographers) latest offering, building on his previous work (Low Self-Esteem Girl, Male Fantasy) and showcasing Thurier’s gift for deadpan comedy in angst-filled awkwardness.
"A Gun to the Head"

enjoy and namaste!
