Biography
I was thirteen, I tripped down the stairs in front of Billy Crystal at the Golden Globes and tore my dress. I was there for the first film I acted in, playing Holly Hunter’s daughter in the HBO original ‘The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom."
In 1998, I was hired as the iconic experimentalist in Alexander Payne’s “Election.” Acting was my first and only love until I saw Alexander in action, which inspired me to study directing. I spent several years following “Election” shadowing directors.
My first directing job was the pilot “Hey You, It’s Me” which has since gone on to win over 17 festivals including the LA film awards and was picked up and turned to series on Seed and Sparks web platform.
I was one of the first females to direct the PR footage for the world-famous Coachella music festival and has been hired to do several shorts and web series in the interim.
My directorial debut, “Vampire Dad”, currently streaming on Amazon and Itunes. A film about a perfect family man in 1962 that is chosen by the underworld to therapize monsters. I wrote, directed, and co-produced. I have since been recurring as the bartender on Amazon’s, Goliath opposite Billy Bob Thornton as well as a recurring voice on Tyler The Creator’s cartoon The Jellies, on Cartoon Network.
I can't wait to share my next film, a dark coming of age thriller starring Luna Blaise, Detach.
