Excited to share that VIA NEGATIVA is an Official Selection of the 2026 Tribeca Festival (@tribeca ). Join us in New York City June 3–14. #Tribeca25th . Dept head @maggiegreenmua brought me on for a few days and I got to meet some amazing people….so thanks Maggie! And congrats to the amazing director @hannahloganpeterson and wonderful cast and crew.
One of my earliest films I was able to work with Robert Carradine. It was shot in Louisiana and it was a challenging shoot from the get go with budget changes, crew walkout, and communication issues. Honestly, I was just trying to survive and do a good job under incredible amount of stress. He was kind to me, and very professional even when he was very frustrated with the situation on set…..and schooled others that it was their job to set a good example when they knew better. He could be a tough read but his actions and words had a lasting impact on me. I’m sorry to hear he’s gone. RIP.
Enjoy the break from the rain! Our friends the Fear in Portland Oregon is having a special celebration of Krampus! Get your tickets before they sell out! #hauntedhouse #krampus
It’s been a weird season with our haunt closed down. Fun to do some different things than I normally do. But one thing I’ve strangely missed doing is my 10 min vamp makeup that I always complain I never have enough time for! The last few years I’ve played the first house greeter….a very dumb idea when you are also running the makeup team. So I usually have between 7-10 min to bang out a makeup and get in costume as fast as possible (usually with costume help of @suesank and @brooke.learmouth thank goodness) and run to the front. I’m often super grumpy when doing this makeup on myself because I do depend on its impact on my confidence as an actor…..so it’s strange that this is the one that has stuck in my head. But there you go. Happy Halloween Week everyone. Get out there and visit some haunts! Used @rcfx_sfx alcohol based airbrush makeup on this one and an @iwata_airbrush
I got to be part of this unforgettable horror short film “Dark Mommy” 🎬💀
Huge thanks to @courtneyeck for bringing us all together, and to the amazing @ravenousstudios for making me look like this, your SFX work is unreal!
Such a special experience with such a creative team 🖤

I am shattered.
To all that knew her, Christin McNair was one of the most unique, special, caring, funny, interesting people to walk this earth. A character that left her indelible mark on both your memory and your heart. My husband and I met her at Frighttown, and she quickly became not only a friend but someone we considered family. If Christin had called asking for a shovel, a truck, and no questions we would have showed up. Granted it would have probably involved a hearse in a ditch and an embarrassing story involving a zip tie….but that was Christin. A person who had known incredible adversity and turned it into a life lived with reckless abandon. If you knew her, you know what was lost in a recent tragic accident. If you didnt know her, you missed out on one of the coolest chicks ever. I don’t think any of us will get over missing her and the joy she brought to her friends and family being…..well Christin. Unabashedly Christin.
Please support her wife Britney May and family during this tough time.
