Movie - 2024, 2h 15m • as Dani
Something Borrowed is a dark romantic comedy about the disastrous, deeply sincere lengths people are willing to go to for love. On the morning of her wedding, Dani returns home bleeding from a botched robbery meant to fund her future. As she tries to hide the true nature of the attempt from both her co-conspiring maid of honor and her out-of-the-loop groom-to-be, panic escalates, secrets unravel, and every bad decision compounds the next as the clock ticks toward “I do.” Equal parts absurd and heartfelt, the film explores what happens when the American Dream feels just out of reach and desperation starts to look like devotion. Something Borrowed is messy, ridiculous, and kind of romantic — a wedding-day farce about love, survival, and caring just a little too hard with a loaded weapon.
Movie - 2019, 2h 15m • as Nicole
Ryan loves being a dad more than anything, but has never told his son that he’s transgender and not his biological father. As another Father’s Day passes, Ryan imposes a deadline or a ‘Tell-by Date,' but it’s easier set than done!
Movie - 2021, 2h 15m • as Tourist
A grounded sci-fi short film that delivers hope with a slight touch of humor. Jack was a promising scholar until his dedication to prove the existence of extra-terrestrial life consumed him into a mundane, repetitive cycle. THE GAZER is the story of Jack. Jack owns a small alien jerky shop in the desert. Aside from the occasional lost tourist, and a lizard hanging around his shop, Jack finds himself completely isolated. After his repetitive daily pattern is mysteriously interrupted, Jack is reminded of the passion and hope he once had to prove the existence of extra terrestrial life. Set in the vein of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of The Third Kind, E.T., and Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed, The Gazer has nods to classic '70s and 80's grounded sci-fi films with brief moments of hyper-realism.
