Today I have decided to quit acting and join the Mars One project instead. It means that soon I will be spending the rest of my life on Mars as part of the first permanent human settlement there. I can’t wait, I’m so excited!
… This was a (significantly bad) April Fools’ Day joke of course.
In other news, I have very recently uploaded a freshly edited version of my acting showreel. It’s on YouTube guys, go and check it out:
Happy International Women’s Day to all my fellow ladies out there!
Always remembering those who fought for our rights. Playing one of them, a suffragette, has been such an honour. Even though she had her own personal struggles to deal with before finding her strength, she got there in the end nonetheless.
This past year has certainly brought about some changes with #metoo raising awareness to the way women are often (mis)treated not only in the entertainment industry but in our society. Unfortunately there’s still an awful lot of men out there having to learn a lesson or two with regards to respecting women.
We have come a long way regarding gender equality, particularly in the Western world, but sadly still have a long way to go especially considering other parts of the world where women are denied basic human rights and still don’t have a voice in this day and age. These problems exist even if we might not be experiencing them ourselves – whether it’d be under the pretext of culture, religion or “boys just being boys”.
Let’s keep making changes, through raising our voices to injustice and by raising boys who will grow up to be respectful men and role models to our society.
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 got to see a preview of “Shopping Spree” and I’m in love! Well done to everyone that has been involved in it.
I already miss playing my character Stacey who is one of the feistiest girls you’ll ever meet… and the never-ending fights with her boyfriend Nick. And the late night shoots in the supermarket. And the crazy props and costumes. And the amazing cast and crew!
I’m sure this movie is going to kill it (literally) at the festivals once it’s done in post-production!
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.
