As Erla in Bat
Now managed by Skyfire Artists of Los Angeles
I have a major supporting role in the touching film "If I Only Knew", which is now in post production.
"Bat", a short I have a prominent role in is a finalist at the WorldFest - Houston International Film Fest.
I have written a book that will be available on many book sites. Other than a brief chapter on extra work it isn't about acting, but I'm hoping all my friends and followers will at least consider it for yourself or as a gift. To get a few notices about when it's available, like the Facebook page for Mastering Senior Life.
The book is now available at several book stores including The Book Table in Oak Park IL. I had wonderful coverage in the Wednesday Journal of Oak Park and River Forest.
Here is a video where I talk about some of the highlights of the book:
Stairs was one of 130 films out of 8,170 submitted to the Cannes Indie Shorts Awards, where it was warmly received. I had a great time attending.
Stairs won many awards at film festivals for actress Joyce Porter - winner Best Actress of the year at the MLC Awards.
And winner Best Actress at the New York Indie Shorts Awards.
More film festival selections and awards for Stairs! Including Best Actress at the Venezia Shorts Festival!
Stairs was selected as a monthly winner at the Crown Point Film Festival!
Stairs was selected as a quarterly winner at the NYC Indie Shorts Festival!
