Amazing time on set today! I am so honored to be playing journalist extraordinaire Deanna Johnson in the feature film version of New York Times best-selling author Sylvia Day’s Afterburn/Aftershock novels! It was a whirlwind but such a pleasure to work with the director Tosca Musk and her company Passionflix and I even got to meet the woman behind it all…writer Sylvia Day herself! It is slated to debut on Passionflix.com in November. How fast is that!?!? I’ll keep y’all posted with updates when we get closer to the day.

But if you can’t wait until then, go buy the books! And psssttt…Deanna is also in her Crossfire series! Cool Beans y’all!

I am so happy to let you know my film The Storyteller got accepted into the Sedona International Film Festival!

Here have the dates and times for our screenings:

The first one is Thursday, February 23rd at 9pm.

The second one is in their BIG theater and will be on Saturday, February 25th, at 3pm.

We hope to see you there! Sadly I can’t make this one because I will be filming in Los Angeles for another project but I am so excited for everyone that can be there and see it live with an audience. It is such a special film and I know you are all going to love it!

My peeps with The Storyteller, the feature film I shot this summer, have put together a second trailer for our film. Watch for a sneak peak at even more goodies from our upcoming movie!

The love of an enchanted young girl brings wonder and healing to a broken family.

On the run from her mysterious past and guided by a fairy that no one else can see, Abby sparks a daisy chain of compassion, bringing joy and music back into the family.

The Storyteller is a powerful exploration of belief and the true definition of family.

The film was produced from an award winning original screenplay titled, “The Storyteller.” Out of nearly 9,000 feature length screenplays submitted last year, our script won second place in the Family Film category for the prestigious “PAGE International Screenplay Awards.”

Day 4 and we are all dried out and back inside! We are shooting scenes out of order as per usual but with all this hopping around I catch myself (along with the director, dp and key makeup artist) jumping for my script just to double check where we are now!

I am so excited to be working with our Emmy Award-winning hair and makeup artist Linda Rondinella, a.k.a. Queen of the Braids!

When the script calls for rain we call the local fire department! Make it rain Fred!

And then some crazy person thought it was a good idea to ask me run through that rain, across a soggy lawn, while in a pencil skirt and wearing 6 inch heels! I guess that lawn is now good and aerated. Did I mention I do my own stunts?

It’s Day 2 on The Storyteller set and we are sticking with interiors today. Which is good because it is something like 95° and 90% humidity! Hot and sticky in Indiana. We also busted out the speed rail for a little dolly action.

You can also see our sound guy Bud Osborne mic-ing up little Brooklyn and myself. Gotta have good sound! And yes, those house slippers were they only pair of shoes I was left with after wardrobe raided my suitcases. But now I had an excuse to wear them out and about and even to the grocery store! Exciting times.

Let the whirlwind begin! Today was Day 1 of our crazy 18 day shoot for my upcoming feature film The Storyteller and we totally hit the ground running. First day of shooting and I got to show off my awesome corn shucking skills! Plus the spit bucket has already made an appearance. No matter how good it tastes, one can only eat so much corn.

On a serious note, I got to work with both of my costars Brooklyn Silzer and Cassidy Mack and WOW! They are two very talented actresses. I can’t wait to see where our characters take us!

I am so excited to announce that I have officially joined the team of the upcoming feature film The Storyteller as the lead Maggie! We are planning to shoot in July for three weeks in Indiana. Yup, gonna be hot and humid so bring on the curly hair!

Written by our Emmy Award-nominated director Joe Crump and our producer Rachel Noll, and shot by our cinematographer Dan Clarke, The Storyteller will be produced from an award winning original screenplay. Out of nearly 9,000 feature length screenplays submitted last year, our script won second place in the Family Film category for the prestigious “PAGE International Screenplay Awards.”

The Storyteller is a powerful exploration of imagination, belief, love and the true definition of family, as seen through the eyes of a remarkable young girl. Infused with music, magic and elements of Peter Pan, The Storyteller is Finding Neverland meets Once meets the underlying darkness of Pan’s Labyrinth.

I will be starring alongside some very talented performers! Constance Towers, Kristina Wagner and Brooklyn Silzer all of General Hospital fame, Cassidy Mack of Zoey to the Max, plus James Snyder from Broadway’s If/Then and Eden Espinosa from Broadway’s Wicked!
