This happened last night. 🥹

I was not able to attend the award ceremony, so a very heartfelt thank you to @austinspotlight for the award. I've been doing this acting thing for a long time and to be recognized for my work is truly wonderful.

@amadeus_gonzalez_nrs, thank you for writing this story and for trusting me with the role of Vivían. @kaseyschafler, thank you for being an incredible producer. To the rest of the crew, thank you for all of your hard work. To my fellow cast members, thank you for sharing your talent with me. To everyone that donated to our film, thank you for helping us bring this story to life.

This journey is wild, and I am grateful. 🤍 taken in Austin, Texas by @chiaramccarty

Thanks to everyone who read or came out for the women in film table read yesterday. We read the first half of my screenplay Greenlawn and it was amazing to hear such talented actors reading my words. The response was fantastic. Can't wait to get the other half of this one polished and maybe do a full read one day! So rare you get to have a perfect cast for a table read but somehow I managed it. taken in Santorini Cafe - Austin TX by @chiaramccarty

@womenhorrorfilm appreciation time. I’ve been sitting on this one… because there is honestly endless to say. Trying to be concise, this entire experience was a delight. Almost like… we were gifted green lights every step of the way. Still insane. But having the best group made it all such a treat. Thank you @dollarsdonuts for bringing me on and @sasha_boggs for having me produce alongside you ♥️ more to come…

I can’t wait to bring WOMEN to the world… they’ve certainly already rocked mine 😏

ISOLATION is now streaming on Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango!! 🤩

“Logan, an inmate stranded on a deserted spacecraft, must complete a string of death-defying missions, each one inching him closer to freedom. But as he ventures further into the unknown-where survival is anything but guaranteed-he begins to realize the price of liberty may be far steeper than expected. What follows is a high-stakes descent into broken identity, where the greatest battle of all is surviving Isolation.”

If you’re into sci-fi that explores loneliness, grief, loss and the struggles of mental health, then this film is for you. Give us a watch and please leave us a review on IMDb, Letterboxd, all the things. 🩵

🎬 W O M E N 🩸The girlies I met while shooting @womenhorrorfilm were some of the most supportive, sweet, talented, FUNNY, and BEAUTIFUL women (inside and out) I’ve ever met. I am so grateful to have been a part of this film, and can’t wait for you guys to see the sisterhood and chaos that is WOMEN.
Thank you so much to @sasha_boggs and @daryldella for casting me in this insane and incredible production from @dollarsdonuts 🫶
This cast and crew were my favorite cast and crew of all time 🥺 I found myself excited to wake up at 3am, and never wanting it to end. If you aren’t already, go follow @womenhorrorfilm for updates 😏 I absolutely cannot wait for yall to see this one.
