LOCAL 6 UNION ARTICLE REVIEW by Jessica Edwards
——“The dramatic tear-jerker “The Patriots” kicked off the evening, offering a glimpse into the unhappy reunion of a military veteran and the wife who left him while he was away fighting. Starring Edgar Felix, Melisanne Russo, and Diana Craig as the meddling aunt, “The Patriots” forced the audience to reconsider its notions of loyalty, fidelity, and the sanctity of marriage.”
I’m so happy to get booked on a Firehouse Subs Commercial which shot in December just before the holidays. I did principal work as a hand model. What a happy unexpected surprise to get during the holiday season.
I worked on the film “MEAT” It was a lot of fun. I got to work with actors that I have worked on in previous projects in the past. This was my first extraterrestrial film.
Just participated in a reading of the screenplay “Twice.” Here is what the writer had to say. “””Great table read of my feature script “Twice.” Thanks to all the actors and people who helped to organize the event! Wonderful job!…”””
Did principal work on a Toujeo Commercial filmed in Brooklyn NYC. The producers, director and crew were great to work with.
Had an audition for Dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing today. It was lots of fun.
