Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
A monologue from the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It’s a slightly more serious take on the scene than was done in the movie. Clementine meets with a therapist to discuss her feelings on her relationship with her, um, ‘boyfriend’.
Giving Joey The Finger
November 13th & 14th was the 48 Hour Film Challenge and I was fortunate enough to be part of a group called the French Connection where we made a short film called “Giving Joey The Finger”. It screened on Wednesday at the Bloor Street Cinema and was listed among the top ten best films in [...]
Run For Cancer
I appeared in this short comedic video written by my friend Brian Crosby. Cancer gets its butt kicked.
GsspLvr25
This is a silly little video I made as a contest entry. We were supposed to talk about an embarrassing moment using technology either real or imagined. I chose imagined. I think it’s cute and funny so I thought I’d share it with you. (sorry it’s so dark and grainy.) GsspLvr25

Another monologue. This one is taken from the original script for the Julia Roberts movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding”. The full scene didn’t make it to screen and I turned it into a monologue. In this scene, Julie has just tried to sabbotage her friend’s wedding but is finding that she might actually like his [...]
Non-Bridaled Passion
I did a series of monologues posted on youtube for fun. This is a scene from a play entitled “My Name is Still Alice”. This is when Alice goes to the department store’s bridal registry demanding to get treated equally as her married friends. Non-Bridaled Passion
The Actress
Totally improvised short film. Video blog entries by a hapless actress wedged together into a short film. Imagine that she put it together herself. (Sound is not so good.) The Actress

The Professional
This is my opening scene of a Humber student short film where I played Lauren, the secretary. Lauren has the hots for Ronald, the professional who won’t give in to her overt come-ons because it’s ‘unprofessional’ and can’t risk losing a promotion. Things change when he loses the promotion, however. The Professional
