I am an actress.

Hi, I am a passionate, and determined performer. Recognised for my unique sense of style, my portrayal of emotions, and my red hair. 


I especially enjoy acting. 


Here are some snapshots of me in Figment (2013).








Looking quite creepy, right?!

That's what I love about acting, pushing myself to the limit. Or as much as a limit is offered to me. I especially loved acting in this film. I was on set for hours a time. The outside scenes were shot in freezing cold temperatures, with no heating and just a flimsy dress. You don't see it in the clip, but I fell over for real and hurt myself in the process- a little painful in the cold temperature actually!

I picked my own outfit for the role, and the scenes, I felt that the black dress added the right amount of darkness needed for my character's breakdown in the basement and in the tunnel. The red dress, I felt added a slight contrast- a much brighter colour, but also with a dark undertone. Red, as we all know, represents passion, blood and high emotion. I felt this was significant to my character, she had awoken at the other end of her conscience,  having fallen into it during a breakdown.

There are many ways the ending could be taken, alas it is is quite an Avant-garde film. It could be perceived as her entering death, resulting in her entering a bright light, it could also be taken as her dreaming to be awoken by the bright light. It could also be an hallucination, a made up fantasy that Sam creates in order to escape her every day life. It's clear that Sam suffers from some dark emotions, possibly depression, hearing her own thoughts, and guilt scream at her constantly. I think this film displays her at her darkest moment when things just snap. I'd love to do a sequel or a prequel to this film!

Anyway, however you perceive the plot, I hope you enjoy it, you can watch it  here. 


P.S, don't you just love how the snapshots I picked of me in the field look especially Zombie-esque ;).
