Why A Professional Headshot is So Important

Like many things today, photography is undergoing a perfect storm of change. Only a few years ago, professional photographers used film for the jobs that counted, while possibly experimenting with digital photography. The newest professional digital cameras were prohibitively expensive for most non-pros, and by today's standards of resolution, and functionality, appear quaint. But the changes that are taking place in photography today have parallels in journalism, publishing, and many other… Continue

On the set

I was cast as an extra in The Light Keepers. There was only 28 of us, hand picked by the director. I met some wonderful people, granted much older than myself. They do extra work for so many films in the Boston area and some tried LA when they were younger but moved back here.

Whenever I go to auditions or filmings it only gives me that much more determination to do what I love and succeed at it.

I went for a costume fitting on the set on Cape Cod this past wednesday. They gave me a… Continue

Guardian is in and she's looking for bad guys.

I just got a copy of "Guardian", a BU project about a female super hero who is also a newspaper reporter. I played the editor, who takes her off a story about city hall corruption when one of his other reporters turns up dead. My part was fairly small, but my decision pushed the heroine over the edge to become "the Guardian".

Kind of a cross between "Superman" and "The Matrix", there were fights and murders. It was lots of fun working with a bunch of very talented student filmmakers.… Continue
