Being cast as Noir in Tim Richardson’s short film Poisoned Amore was an extreme honor. I briefly met the crew after appearing as a Zombie in another production called A Girl and her Zombie, which also was an absolute creative BLAST. Little did I know, however, that I had stumbled upon a dynamite production crew. From beginning to endReel Monster Productions was on point and professional with the preparation and execution of the short we filmed. Even when I was half naked- I was being body painted by the brilliant Maha Hardison before you get any ideas- the shoot ran smoothly and efficiently. I did not even notice that it took 7 hours to get painted. Time literally flew by and I would do it all over again a hundred more times. Not to mention how much fun it was to work with Tim Richardson and Reel Monster Productions. I felt like I had been friends with them for years, even if it was only the second time I had worked with the crew. Playing Noir was indeed arduous. Poisoned Amore had a bit of everything: foreign language, romance, drama, and comedy. Filming, however, was a different story. With Tim’s direction I have never felt so comfortable or prepared for a role in my entire life.

I just want to give a sincere thank you to the cast and crew of Poisoned Amore for the long hours they put into completing the project. An actor can only do so much on his or her own and without a strong production team, there is no work for those in the acting profession. This film will most definitely be the highlight of my acting reel and The Dress Rehearsal is literally a game changer in my acting career. It will elevate me to the next level and I am forever grateful!
