I was an actor and did voice-over work in Jane Pickett’s short adventure serial, “An Actress in Search of an Exit”. In it, I played an eccentric gutter punk. The film screened on August 24th, 2010 at Laemmle Monica 4-Plex in Santa Monica, for the LA 48 Hour Film Project.
Written and directed by Jane Pickett, “An Actress in Search of an Exit” follows Jamie Woodnit, a struggling actor, “haunted” by a trio of gutterpunk misfits, who she jogs by on the street one day. These young eccentrics follow Jamie into her domestic space unnoticed. While she showers unaware, they create a rumpus wreaking havoc in the next room. At first it appears that they are strangers in her home, but in reality, they represent her internal unsettled world.
