I have enjoyed much success as an actress in film and television, and have added “directing” to my creative path. Starting with two episodes of thirtysomething, I have found myself continuously working.  Some directors get type cast, but my directing career has pretty much covered all genres. In episodic television I have done teen shows, cop/action/procedural shows, half hour comedy, single camera comedy for HBO, hour long dramedy, as well as intense character driven dramas. In film I have made three features and several movies for television.  I have done music videos and commercials. I pretty much have had a hand at a bit of it all.

As long as I have a camera or two, and an actor or two, the sky is the limit. My creative process is intuitive, yet backed with craft.  And the result I try to achieve are moments captured, that move us, make us swallow a lump in our throats, or make us cry with laughter. When guided by a light touch, an emotional underbelly, and experience, the results can be… well, why we go to the movies, and turn on our televisions.

Thanks for visiting here to check out my work. It’s a privilege to share it with you.
