A down-on-his-luck music producer stumbles upon a lost work of art that could change everything. But to win, he must surrender his notions of success and embrace the mystery and absurdity of life.
My latest project is shooting in a place Ive longed to spend time in since I moved to Texas 5 short years ago. FAR MARFA, which shoots in, well, Marfa, TX stars Johnny Sneed as CARTER and myself as QUARRY. Jesse Bernstein, also with my agency (The Atherton Group), will play a supporting role as DAVID (pronounced “Da-veed”).
There will definitely be more info to come as I continue on this journey. Aside from dynamic filmmaking, I have a feeling there will be plenty of great conversation, biking around town and hopefully a bonfire or two in the desert!
Sam Doonby, is a happy-go-lucky drifter who takes up residence in a small Texas town but seems suspiciously immune to the misfortunes that beset the other townsfolk.
John Schneider, star of Doonby, talks about the film and his role on FOX News yesterday. I played supporting role as “Lisa” in the feature. Needless to say, this interview sparks my excitement for the film to be released! (Im hoping mid-fall…?)
The link to the seven minute interview with John is here. (The preview footage is at the beginning)

What an amazing project to be a part of. I Guest Star as JUDY COOPER in the first episode of “My Generation”, a new TV series on ABC. The show premiers on ABC Thursday, September 23 @ 8/7central. In the first episode, I play opposite Kelli Garner and Keir O’Donnell and will be 8 months pregnant with flippy hair and a chipper disposition. My first experience with a documentary style three-camera shoot, I had so much fun diving into the freedom of more ‘being’ and less ‘calculating’, as is often the case with traditional feature shoot styles. The show’s creator, Noah Hawley, has written a brilliant script and the Producers have put together a dynamic cast and crew. Episode 1 was directed by Michael Katleman, who has an amazing sense of raw, dynamic, truthful action. I have no doubt this show is going to be a super success. I feel fortunate to be a part of it. (Sending intentions that my character will be written back in! Hey, it happens ;)
You can see good clips from the pilot and detailed info here. The official trailer is here.
