The Run-In is up on Amazon!

The short horror film I worked on with Heidi Kikel and Schnitzel Studios is up on Amazon. We’re suuuper proud of this one and would really appreciate a review and feedback.

We shot this ultra low budget in two days in Ridgewood. We met with the usual challenges of filming in a car, and filming around nosy and noisy neighbors, but were able to create some haunting stuff.

I’m a good driver, I swear!

The Long Road to Hell by Heidi Kikel

Wrapped up filming a horror short with my buddy Heidi starring me and my mother in law, Barbara Kingsley.

Mr. Wonderful

Spent the weekend with some of the cast and crew of the upcoming short, Mr. Wonderful.  Joe and I had a glass of wine after a grueling cold weekend at the cabin again.

Sean stopped to take a picture of me freezing on the floor… as per usual.

And I took a little video of a favorite guilty pleasure, peeling off SFX Makeup:

I cannot wait to share this one with everyone… It’s SO GOOD you guys!

Time Signature by Sean Mannion

Time Signature is a kick-ass female driven sci-fi short written and directed by Sean Mannion and starring Tara Cioletti, Hye Yun Park, and myself.

Here are some behind the scenes and still shot from the shoot. Lessons learned include, “Make sure your selected location is not directly next to a train track.”

Below is Sean “directoring” us in our bar location, shot in E’s bar on the Upper West Side. Amazing bar and friendly staff, and just a pure joy to shoot in.

Tara graciously let us use her car for filming, so I tried not to let her know exactly how terrified I truly was of the situation. Driving has always made me nervous, but I’m apparently really good at it on screen.

Below is our cast and crew photo upon wrapping this shoot, and I am so thankful to these people for making this dream possible!
