I’m not allowed to say too much but I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to combine my 2 careers and passions for the first time in a long time – singing and acting on a US national tv commercial for Subway recently.  An interesting, secret premise I hope to get to see up here in Canada – that’s often the case when much of what we film in Vancouver, BC is actually strictly for the US market.

Earlier this week I shot a movie trailer called “My Brother’s Story”, written by choreographer Paul Becker  www.paulbeckerchoreography.com  and based on his own life story.  It’s a dance/action/drama about the journey 2 boys take after being abandoned by their mother and raised by their father.  I played the mom and the make-up gal did quite the job giving me (the look of) a black eye for one of my scenes – ouch!  Not to mention the fine 80’s hairstyle and clothes…

‘Twas some pretty heavy emotional scenes for me, but Paul, who also directed the trailer, was very personable and focused to work with.  He’s done remarkable work in dance and choreography at such a young age including work with the Jonas Brothers, So You Think You Can Dance Canada and many films.  I wish Paul and his crew the best of luck getting this made into a feature film!
