2014 started, I blinked and the next minute I knew I was shooting my first full-length feature film. Just before I got the audition I had a dream about shooting a film (love it). The dream was lonely and a bit cold and when I woke up the first thing I said to myself was […]

At school I played Bugsy in Bugsy Malone (it was an all girls school…) and doing this voice over job took me back – I love this accent. The job was for Lucas Machowski a London-based Polish film director who has lived and worked in NYC. The projects (housing estates) of Staten Island have a […]

Di Baci bisous kissy kiss kiss
My brother will be closing his eyes and turning away from the screen – I have been kissing again in my films and he hates it, poor boy. My last short film “Mama’s Boy” in which I play the girlfriend of the lead is now complete, mwah. On the back of this, I’m doing my first […]
Can You Smell The Truth?
On returning home after crying through watching 12 Years A Slave, I’m in the mood for proclaiming my freedom. I’ve been busy. I’m shooting my first feature film in February, I’ve had great auditions since the year began and I’ve met some brilliant casting directors. I’m off to Switzerland on the weekend to spend a […]

At my Equity Branch meeting last month we were discussing the Bechdel test: representation of women in film. You can read more here but essentially this has […]
Farewell Finchley Bring on Brixton and Jesus Rocks
This weekend I’ve crossed the river and moved from Finchley to Brixton – North to South London. It’s a bit different…compared to the quiet greenlands of Finchley, Brixton is buzzing and on the edge of being nuts. It’s exciting. I’m not quite settled but everything seems pretty much on my doorstep. In the middle of […]
Be A Hero

“That’s the fastest my feet ever moved!”
It’s been a bitsy “what’s happening now?” week. Our short film “Silent Disco” unfortunately didn’t make the shortlist for the Virgin Media Shorts and I had some auditions cancelled due to re-scheduled filming dates. On more active news, the new school term at Morley College has started so my tap and ballet lessons begin again. […]
