Bio

Gender: F
Your vocation(s) (hold Control key to select multiple): Actor; Theatre Director/Producer; Arts Enthusiast
Bio: I started out as a stage actor in college. I love the stage! Towards the end of college I got involved in directing for a new play festival that happened every year on campus. I was told by my professor/mentor that I was a "born dramaturg" and had inate understanding of scripts. My senior year I also started writing and my first play, a monologue, was chosen and produced in the new play festival. Since then I have been working on several writing endeavors for the stage. I graduated in 2002 with a degree in Humanities and Arts concentrating in Drama/Theatre - Acting, Directing and Dramaturgy. Currently I am working on adapting my monologue into a short screenplay as well as working on putting my many ideas on paper.
I'm Looking For: (hold Control key to select multiple): Acting Gigs; Film-makers and Producers
Current Project (s) and What you're seeking (explain in more detail what "I'm Looking For"): I am working on figuring out how to adapt my play, "There Are Monsters Under My Eyelids" into a short screenplay. I would like to then see it come to life on film so to enter it into short film contests. I am trying to teach myself how to write a screenplay so anyone with advice please feel free to share, and if you want to read the origional play I would gladly send it to you.

Also I am looking to get involved with independent films. Either as an actor or as any help needed, to gain experience. I am joining Film Independent to also gain access to seminars and film screenings.
