Hello dear readers, I hope you had a wonderful month of February. It was a busy one, right?
First, there was the Oscars. Parasite! My opinion is that the Academy didn’t want to reward a period piece this time. So the foreign film won! This is surprising, refreshing, and a shift in the industry. Also this shows what I believe: we want to see more stories about today.
Then, I acted in a short film called The Truth (made by passionate and professional students from Hertfordshire University). The film is currently being edited and I am grateful and proud to be part of it. If the script comes to life as I imagine it, it’s going to be tense and gloomy – a true dystopian piece. My character is a woman living in a squat and hoping for a better life that can only be given to her by creepy bureaucrats.
I also got pictures taken in Greenwich Park with photographer Anna Rakhvalova. The photos will be ready in a few days, and I can’t wait to share them.
I was back on stage for three days at the Hen and Chickens for One From the Heart, revisiting a role I had played a few months before. I got to love my moody and frustrated character Beatrice even more.
Finally, Un Dimanche! My French short film will be published on YouTube this Sunday. I do want to celebrate this, as it was a true passion project and I am super flattered that so many people stepped in to shoot it. Stay tuned this Sunday on my social media. If you can’t wait that long, you can see one scene on my French showreel on Spotlight.
Until then, here is a still.
Toodloo!
