I just finished principle shooting of a short film called “American Dreams”.  The film, inspired by true events of Italian writer/director Gaia Bonsignore, is a story about two girls, Lisa and Diana, and their search for the “American Dream”, both having quite opposing ideas of what that is and how to achieve it.  Diana, played by Jacqueline Leal, seeks freedom in support and stability of a marriage that has inevitably lost its love. Lisa, my character, is an anarchist protester who finds freedom in running and retaining an uprooted status, constantly fighting for the cause of the moment.

It was an amazingly ambitious shoot (a super low budget that opens with a street riot scene, which achieved superb footage from what Ive seen).  It also provided an opportunity for me to work on a more gritty/ street kid character, as ive been seeking.
