Living With You audition

My #1 most watched YouTube video of 2022 was an audition for a film that was sadly canceled. I played both characters and, although I was officially auditioning for the one on the left, I landed the one on the right.

Travis & Karen Smooch Reel

My #3 most watched YouTube video of 2022 was not even promoted. I'd love to see analytics about which search terms led perfect strangers to view our #hot #steamy #romantic #makeout #reel

#1 Stan clip (JK Productions/American Sh!tshow)

This film, which was produced for the 2022 Z-Fest Film Festival, was never officially released into the wild. But since I was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, I thought you should at least get a glimpse!

Until I designate a special section just for reels, I'm sticking this here. It contains a few scenes from produced films, and excerpts from some self-tape auditions. It's just here for added visibility.
