1. How did you get into the industry?
I had always wanted to be an actress since I was a little kid, but coming from a family that had nothing to do with the Industry, it wasn’t until 13 that I really started to pursue Film/TV. I used to pick up the Backstage Newspaper (which had film/tv job postings), and I would self submit to projects through hard copy submissions. My mother would then drive me into NY three to four times a week for auditions and classes. I didn’t book my first project until I was 14, which was a TV Mini-series called “Seasons” which I shot for a couple months in Hartford CT. It was my first real audition and on-screen work, and I guess that was the first time that I really knew I had found something I wanted to continue doing. Since “Seasons” I started to audition more in NY and take on roles in small indies, short films, and Television Series. At the age of 20, I ended up getting more work to add to my resume that included blockbuster hits “The Eye” with Jessica Alba, “Legion” with Dennis Quaid, and “Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles” on FOX.
2. What Scream Queen inspired you most?
I have always been a fan of Drew Barrymore since “ET”, but she really steals the show in “Scream”. I think her performance in “Scream” is one of my favorites of any scream queen. I remember seeing a interview with Wes Craven, and he stated that he was blown away by her level of emotion and believability that she brought to her role, even though she was the first to go. Neve Campbell is my close second.
3. What are the next couple projects you are working on?
This year has been just incredible. Since January I have finished filming 6 features that include; “The Black Water Vampire” which I star and features actor Bill Oberst Jr (directed by Jesse Baget whom directed Gina Gershon and Val Kilmer in “Breathless”), “The Murders of Brandywine Theater” with Dian Bachar, Martin Klebba, and Dallas Page, “Misogynist” with Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls) and Jon Briddell, “The Other Side” which I shot in PA, “The Bell Witch Haunting” which comes out on DVD Nov 3rd, and “The Glass House” that I just finished shooting in Chicago last month. Most are going to have a festival run and hopefully will be released next year! My website always features information on upcoming films and where my current films are going to be released!
