BEND Film Festival - Totally Loved IT!

 

     BEND FILM FESTIVAL 2012

     October 11th -14th

This was an amazing experience in Bend, Oregon!  

I was there representing "She Who Excels In Solitude" by Mako Kamitsuna - 

Our piece was part of a field of 52 wonderful short films as well as full-length features, documentaries and conservation films.  

Two other films from AFI DWW were also there:  BLACK IRISH directed by Anika Poitier and 

THE MEN'S ROOM directed by Jane Pickett.  Met so many talented fascinating folks!  All this great work was being seen and celebrated by filmmakers, film-lovers, critics and film jurors.  It was a treat - a privilege ... and now I've gotta sleep for a day or two. 

 

HELEN at the Getty Villa

A New Look at
Euripides' play Helen of Troy

HELEN adapted by Nick Salamone / Directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera
A new production by Playwright's Arena

This beautiful setting is a perfect place to take in this story of Iconic humans and larger than life Gods!  I am covering the role of HELEN as well as two other ladies who represent Marilyn Monroe and Blanche Dubois.  Plenty to chew on!!
