Feeling incredibly lucky to have my name listed among these giants. My role on Michael was merely a blip but god damn, it was one of the coolest, most full circle moments to date.
I started as a makeup PA assisting @bcorso during the very first makeup tests back in 2023, then stepped in for the powerhouse that is @makie.d.mua (who set me up so generously) for the final month of principal photography in 2024ā¦helping coordinate the recreation of Thrillerā¦I couldāve died happy then and there.
Timing was everything when reshoots came up in summer 2025. Thank you @bcorso for inviting me back - this time as a Union Makeup Artist to help run BG. It was one of the most exciting and intimidating moments of my career (thank you @superkenfx for your endless support).
This whole experience was surreal. Thank you to every artist and crew member for the ride of a lifetime!
Itās a crazy kind of special witnessing your friends creative curiosities come to life. From our dining room table to the big screen, STONE COLD FOX is finally here!
āProudā doesnāt even cut it. Thank you for creating these characters and thank you for letting me help bring them to life š And even though this was the summer that Sophie turned grey and I guess weāre officially getting old - this feeling never will. You guys fucking did it!!
Stone Cold Fox hits theaters and VOD November 7th š„š„
Incredibly grateful and proud to announce that I am now a member of Local 706!
The past few years have been a whirlwind for our industry, which is why reaching this milestone feels even more surreal. Iād be lying if I didnāt admit that itās also incredibly confronting at a time when I know so many are struggling.
I moved to Los Angeles over 11 years ago with the kind of optimism that only exists before youāve experienced multiple 17 hour shoot days in 100 degree heat, forced turnarounds, and endless night shoots in DTLA. The past 8 years have been dedicated to finding that perfect balance between being an artist, therapist, mind reader, and occasional existential crisis counselor.
Thereās no way Iād still be standing if it werenāt for the people who believed in me - even when I didnāt believe in myself.
Thank you to every single personā¦from the producers and directors I used to PA for, to my fellow makeup artists who pushed and guided me along the wayā¦ to my best friends, partner, and family for being endlessly supportive and putting up with all the bs that comes with being a freelancer.
I love what I do (despite what my resting bitch face and European sensibilities may sometimes suggest). I love bringing characters to life, filmmaking and all the ups and downs that come with it. If thereās one thing I know for sure, itās that this industry is made up of some of the most resilient, creative, and beautifully stubborn people youāll ever meet. No matter how tough things get, we find a way to keep going.
So hereās to that resilience, to the people who lift each other up, and to the stories that still need to be told š±
(Emotionally vulnerable rant over - thank you for reading if you made it this far)
My best friend and partner in crime @maxxyd set out to make a suuupper āsimpleā easy horror short. One room, dialogue, suspense. Cut to @jake_porath_sfx_ and I spending hours in his garage making a 100000 ft long tentacle so we could suspend @frankie.corzo (legend) in the airā¦and wellā¦ Iāll let you guys discover the rest. Thank you @nickskardarasy for your š§ and your talent, you guys are a match made in heaven šš¼ And thank you to the best cast and crew for coming together and making this happen. I for one was filled with joy watching @maxxyd chasing his dreams as his mum chased everyone away from her crafty set up. Patience is a virtue!
