I’ve just wrapped up pre-production and started filming the very first couple episodes of Katie-Do Season 2. It’s a slightly bigger undertaking this season with more sketches and locations but the same playful, inspirational Katie-Do vibe. Catch up on Season 1 while you wait! New episodes coming this fall.
So, how do you like the website redesign? I’m very excited and thankful to ShooFly Design for building it and to Jenn Spain Photography for taking the majority of the featured photographs.
It’s been a busy few weeks! I wrapped up the advanced sight-singing class at SAG-AFTRA. I will be back to repeat it in the future though, probably ad nauseum, because sight-singing is a skill that needs constant attention.
At the end of May, I represented the self-producing set at the Produced-By conference, put on at the Paramount lot by The Producers Guild of America. It’s the second year I’ve attended and once again, it was completely inspiring.
In acting news, I took a little break from comedy to star in the dramatic short film, The Homestead. We have one day left of shooting and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished project!
I’m enjoying the June gloom here in LA and soaking it up before the summer heat and sun chase me indoors. I know, I know! But have you seen me? I’m too pale for the beach!
April has been my “Work hard, play hard” month. I did a deep dive on the sitcom pilot I’m writing, had a couple of photo shoots, and worked on an independent pilot with Zing Factory. On this project I acted as a producer, second director, actor, and as you can see, even sound operator!
In the middle of all that hard (but fun!) work, I took a break to play hard in Kauai! It was dreamy. Breaks are important to renew the muse and I’ve returned refreshed and inspired! Happy Spring!
On March 18th, come join me and the Zing Factory team for Web Series Unplugged. They’ll be screening 2 episodes of Speed Therapy on the big screen!

I am so pleased to announce that I have signed across the board with BiCoastal Talent. I’m very excited to have Liz and Greta Hanley on my team and look forward to much success together!
Katie-Do, my self-produced variety show on YouTube is still going strong. I’ve wanted forever to create a video where I harmonize with myself and the holidays were the perfect excuse! Check out my rendition of “What are You Doing New Year’s Eve” by Frank Loesser in four part harmony! Happy New Year!
It’s a vlog. It’s an interview show! It’s a comedy, variety, inspirational, whatever I’m feeling that week show on YouTube and I’m very excited to share it! Please check out my new solo project Katie-Do. I’m looking for some audience interaction so please leave comments and subscribe. So excited to share this journey with you!
This past weekend, I was honored to participate in an industry showcase with 46 other talented, trained actors. It was put on by Actor’s Comedy Studio, where I have been training for some time now. I am continuously amazed and inspired by the talent flowing out of that studio and if you are looking for a scripted comedy class, I cannot recommend them more highly.
And just in time for the showcase, I recut my comedic demo reel. Check it out (along with some new credits) on IMDB. NOW WITH MORE WEIRDOS!
Wander through my website or my IMDB page and you’ll notice some new headshots! I had a great shoot with Travis Tanner. What do you think?
Last week I went up to Lake Arrowhead to shoot a comedic short called “Breakfast in Bed”. It was a very fun and unique project that uses physical comedy and no dialogue to tell a simple story of a young couple trying to impress each other. Plus I got to be up in the mountains for a few days! Talk about a win-win.
Chasing Eden, the dramatic feature that I’m cast in is in pre-production. The producers organized a photo-shoot with all the lead characters and I got to meet some of my co-stars for the very first time! “Hi, nice to meet you. Now hug me and let’s pretend we’re a family.” It’s such a funny business we’re in! Here are a couple of my favorite shots. Enjoy!
Pilots are the theme of this month. I directed and had a small role in Zing Factory’s pilot, “Hit Refresh”. We had an excellent cast, I absolutely loved directing, and now it’s off to the post production team. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I was also cast in an independent pilot called “Good News Gone Bad”, produced by We Make Movies, an LA film collective. We shot at YouTube Studios here in LA. It was my first time in that amazing space and with the talented cast and crew steering the ship, it was a great experience. Follow me on my facebook fanpage for a look at some of the insane setups and getups they had me in!
