Our feature Bat Mitzvah is a finalist in 2023's AT&T UNTOLD STORIES PROGRAM at Tribeca!
After getting Bat Mitzvah'd as an adult, I co-penned my own "Big Fat Greek Wedding" personal story into a comedy feature. Once again, we partnered with CounterBalance as our POD. We were 1 of 5 finalists to pitch our feature for a 1-5 chance at a 1 MILLION DOLLAR grant.
While we didn't win the cash, we gained incredible relationships with independent filmmakers and look forward to making this movie! We have since attached director Amber Sealy to the project, along with Paul Schnee to cast.
I joined Jillian Bell on her HomeGoods campaign!
I was fortunate to get to play Jackie, an unhinged HomeGood's employee obsessed with making Jillian her best friend. I didn't have to dig deep for this fun role because I'm obsessed with Jillian in real life too.
FUN FACT: She was a bridesmaid in my wedding.
I resumed my role of Jackie for the Home Sweet Holiday special.
Stay Tuned for more!
