I met director Sam Mason Bell many years ago while working as an actor in Portsmouth. As fate would have it I am now excited to be playing the Mum in his next film next year in one of my favourite genres which is, of course, horror.

There are a number of perks up for grabs which include a copy of the film or naming my character!

I know times aren't great for many financially right now but if you fancy one of the perks on offer and can spare the cost of a cinema ticket or more then here is the link to get involved - helping boost algorithms works too 🙂
Thanks either way 🙂

Final 7 days till the campaign comes to an end! Grab a perk today lets get over 30%!

I was just tagged in this short film which was made back in the 70's before I was born! 🧐🤣

I thought I would share - its a fun horror comedy that was a lot of fun to film and went on to screen at Cannes, Frightfest and lots of others cool places earlier this century which is, of course, not when it was really made...

Who will live the longest?
