Excited that I nabbed a small role in a fun new ABC pilot. Shooting next week. Check back here for more details once I am authorized to blab about them!
Look for me in a brief appearance in Episode 10 of Judd Apatow's new sitcom "Love," available for streaming anytime on Netflix. I play Carly, sex and relationship addict, in a scene with the talented and kind Gillian Jacobs and Robin Tunney, among others.
Written and directed by talented SNL writer Chris Kelly, "Other People" is a wonderful indie film starring Jesse Plemons, Molly Shannon, Bradley Whitford, and more. It also has the honor of being one of the opening night films in the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in January! [UPDATE AS OF 2/24/16: THIS FILM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING VIA NETFLIX SOMETIME THIS FALL.]
I had the fun of playing Cathy Columbo, a woman who inadvertently interrupts a very important family moment. It's a small role but it was a blast, and I can't wait to see this one. Congrats to the cast and crew!

Perhaps you're reading this blog from a homey spot in Hamilton, Ontario. Or maybe you're perched someplace lovely in Perth, Australia. It's possible you're wishing you had something new and truly fun to look forward to. What a crazy coincidence: y'all are in luck!
My short film "Open House" is an official selection in The Hamilton Comedy Film Festival (Oct 1-3, 2015) and Australia's 18th Over The Fence Comedy Film Festival (Oct 23-25, 2015 in Perth, plus a tour throughout Australia in 2016)! Both these festivals promise nothing but hilarity and joy. And don't we all need just a bit more hilarity and joy right now, for heaven's sake?
Yes. Yes, we do.
If you're able to attend either of these fun-fests, please clap and cheer extra loudly for "Open House" -- the quirky little short that could! (And if you happen to be able to attend both these festivals, you are the focus of my extreme jealousy, so, congrats!)
Take a look at the trailer for the "Documentary Now!" episode 4, "The Eye Doesn't Lie" with Fred Armisen, Dale Dickey, and featuring my exquisite eye shadow:
That little neckerchief bit on the blouse was detachable, y'all. They do not make them like that anymore. And by that I mean I think they are not allowed to make that "fabric" from so many 2-liter Pepsi bottles anymore. Like, it might be against the law now. But, still. DETACHABLE.
Be sure to watch Thursday, Sept 10 on IFC. Only two more episodes in this first amazing season of the show!
Just shot a Guest Star role in an upcoming sitcom, to be aired early 2016! More info to come as soon as I'm allowed to share it.
Sorry to be so cagey, but honestly those lawyer types scare me, with their NDA paperwork and their manicured nails and their driverless cars... okay, part of that might have been a dream. But I definitely booked the job, and had a great time on set. That part was real. More soon.
