Once again, it has been ages since I posted something. So here is a little update:
I graduated from USM in May and am finally no longer a student! Feels great to be free from school but is a bit terrifying knowing that I have to make a living now. Fortunately, I had an amazing summer working on several films. I barely had a week free all summer. I worked as an AC in NOLA, El Paso, and in NE MS on a short directed by Johnson Thomasson.

Update March 9th 09
Its been a very long time since I've posted anything so I thought I should. Last time I posted I mentioned that I was planning to have my new film Parted finished by January. Well It was pretty much finished in Jan. but I didn't have all all the finishing touches in place until yesterday. Parted will have its world premier at the Crossroads film festival in early April. I had to have the finished film and sent to them by this week so I was forced to make all the final changes. So Parted is final… Continue

thanks, deb
I didn't realize Pose Down "got around."
My character wasn't too nice in that film,
but I LOVED being her!!! The "not nicer"
the better for me. Have you seen me as
Helldam in a Beowulf film yet? Still photos
of her are available.
I'm excited about Beyond the Forest.
Maybe a premiere next month?, and I plan
on being there (whenever it is).
Keep me posted, and glad Courtney (a daughter)
got to meet you too.

It had good storytelling, good acting, it was beautifully shot and it left me profoundly depressed. The depression part was even worse cause it played last before the break and so there was nothing immediately afterward to engross me and make me forget about it.
Fantastic job!
