On set of Hotel by Man Made Productions, Director Mark Clauburg with Amanda Brooke Lerner and Pooya Monseni
One of the wonderful things about the March 17 premier of Road Rage was having the chance to meet and talk to fellow actors that were in the same film but did not work on the same shoot days. I got to chat with some wonderful people and made new friends as a result. Thanks Brad Mays Filmmaker.
In March also filmed a scene where Francois Beign, a prominent doctor and advocate for the legalization of assisted suicide is being interviewed in his home by leading female journalist Edie Merkett (played by Julie Chapin) in Derrick Berry’s Coming Home.
First week of April and filming in The Philly Offensive, a raunchy, hilarious series that pokes fun at some typical Philadelphia phenomena and table read for the award winning series Ghetto Nerd Girl playing very different mothers in each.
Enjoyable table read for the new epic drama series “The Kids Are Fine”. I am Betty – adopted mother of Elliott, wife of Patrick and mother of Billy, Andy and Cynthia.
Filming first week of May a film at jersey beach played mother of the lead. Curiouser Creative Studio
