I wrapped filming a hilarious little slapstick short film today. Working title “The Chicken and the Egg”. Watch out for it! It might be the next big hit on YouTube 😉
In other news I will be off to Germany early next month to spend the holidays with my family and friends over there. I’m already getting into the Christmas spirit, how about you? I also took a few festive photos recently which will be added to the Gallery page soon.
I just wrapped filming an exciting new urban drama with these guys. Watch out for “Only Wolves”!
Here’s a sneak peek of a dark and steamy scene featuring myself and the awesome Shone Romulus. I was playing an exotic dancer in this film and it was actually my first time playing a sexy character on screen – no nudity is to be seen however, I’m sorry to disappoint you all ;-).
“Only Wolves” will be released next year and it looks very promising. I’ll keep you updated about it of course.
I just wrapped filming “Shopping Spree” and what a blast I had shooting this film! The cast and crew have been an absolute pleasure to work with and I made so many new friends. I can’t wait to see it once it’s done in post-production. The film is a murder mystery which is set in a supermarket. After a late-night killing spree the only surviving characters are a bunch of unique individuals who try to solve the question as to who the killer was… and it has to be one of them. Here are some still images from the shoot.
Coming soon: “Hag” starring myself and the awesome Oliver Knight. I had a blast shooting this film with the best team I could have wished for. When I first read the script for this production I had a hard time falling asleep as it was just too scary – but so good! I hope you’ll like it as much as I did and enjoyed being a part of it. In this movie I am playing a young woman who moves into a house which she inherited with her fiancé. It all seems perfect – but then strange things start to happen and she finds herself becoming possessed by an unknown force. Watch this space.
This month I died a little… just before wrapping a very stylish 1920s horror flick called “Seance”. It was my first experience working with a 360° VR camera. It was also my first on-screen death. And my first time talking to the dead… who then came to haunt me and the other characters who made me call for them. Many firsts ticked with this project, so it was a good one. I particularly liked the brilliant vintage costumes, I wish I could have kept some of them for myself! Here are some selfies featuring my slit throat and the glorious turban I was wearing.
I just finished filming a short but sweet period drama in Cambridge in which I played a suffragette who is in love with another woman – a completely taboo subject at the time.
Researching this part has made me realise how hard women in the past have had to fight for even the most basic human rights which we take for granted these days. It has made me very grateful and proud of our ancestors who have risked their lives for what we have today. And it makes me very sad to think that in certain countries women are still facing the same struggles that our ancestors were facing back then, so a lot of change and progress still needs to happen in this world.
Here’s a selfie from the shoot, a very different look this time.
Today I wrapped filming in Manchester for an exciting new project which will be coming to cinemas next year. The working title of the film is “Love Eventually”, however this isn’t going to be the official name of it – in fact, the title hasn’t even been decided upon yet.
What I can tell you about the movie is that it’s a romantic comedy set within the British muslim community.
I am playing an Italian girl in this film and it’s actually my first time filming an all-Italian part. My character’s name is Adela. Here’s a picture of her, warming up in the car in between takes.
