Look at that alliteration! Instead of many little baby posts, let's start out with what I did this summer and the wonderful people who helped make it happen. Shoutout to the Lighthouse Ladies for the creative inspiration and spirit everyday :).
This was the summer that I finally learned (the hard way) that there is a such thing as doing too much on a film set. Now, I know what you're thinking (something along the lines of you just realized this?) and I know I'm quite late to the game. I'll admit it! However, I tend to think if there is a will, there is a way. The question now becomes: is the way you found the best way to go? This summer, I figured out the answer was no. But hey, you live and you learn!
5.7.22 - Premiere of new Lighthouse Ladies Short Wrong Bar
I started my summer off right and early with the premiere of Wrong Bar, a short that I wrote, directed, produced, edited, partially shot, and starred in. Yeah, too effin' much. It premiered to a small group of wonderful friends and supporters and is currently undergoing another round of edits. I'm hoping to release it officially before 2023... more info to come.
Special thanks to Stonestreet Studios, the Katra Bar and Lounge, and the folks that brought this film to life!
Ooh! There I am! On set! and...
... in the Katra Bar and Lounge doing absolutely too much!
She's self-aware folks.
I promise.

In the month of June - I supported and saw a whole lot of theatre!
From Broadway to Upstate New York to NYC Readings, I enjoyed supporting fellow artists and friends in their creative endeavors. And, while I don't personally know Beanie Feldstein (yet!), I loved seeing what she brought to the role of Fanny Brice!
7.8.22 - I starred in a Short Film for The Black Skirts (Korean Artist!)
It was so unbelievably fun to "party" for hours with some amazing folks. The YouTube video now has over 100,000 views and you can catch me around the 5:06 mark, among other times.

8.31.22 - Coordinated the NYU Professional Comedy Show
In association with the Skirball Performing Arts Center and NYU Welcome, I helped coordinate the NYU Professional Comedy Show featuring Erik Rivera, Glorelys Mora, and Zubi Ahmed. They were absolutely lovely to chat with and hilarious to watch perform. How fun!
Alright alright! That's enough for now! I had a pretty fulfilling summer and am probably missing a few things here and there, but I truly would like to thank everyone who made this summer one to remember. Can't wait to see what's next!
