Commercial Work
Actor, Arthur Nascarella played my dad in this gritty indie film. Bronx Paradise was an extreme contrast to the physical comedy of 79 Parts. My character, Tina Manfredi, is a drug addict prostitute. Before filming my scenes, one of the producers of Bronx Paradise drove me by Hunts Point in the Bronx for some research...frightening, very sad and a much deeper understanding of my character's world.
Starring Eric Roberts, Tony LoBianco & Sandra Bernhard. I was cast from the very first staged reading of this screenplay. Although I preferred the original script, the writing went through many changes, I still really enjoyed playing Vera.
