Still blushing from last night! The Last Book (The Neverending Story meets Fahrenheit 451 as a female-driven dystopian fantasy) won Best Screenplay! I’m just one part of this Voltron as head writer, it wouldn’t have come to life without the rest of the 4 Elements Team: America Young, Beverly Hynds-Prior & Tara Platt. Thank you LA Femme for such a fun fest! And my fest buddy Nani Li Yang won for Best Writing in Feature for her lovely film Beneath the Banyan Tree too! We should always sit next to each other : )
New Poster for Delicate State
After our premiere at Dances With Films, Delicate State had the insane luck of getting distribution! More on that soon, but as we ramp up to going global we got a new poster from the amazing artist Chris at The Robot Eye!
Back For Season 2
Woowhoo! Back in the booth for season 2 of Polly Pocket! I love playing Lila.
Daisy Commercial (& Elliot's Geico!)
It was a joy to film a fun new spot for Daisy Cottage Cheese! And the very next day my youngest son, Elliot got to film his first ever commercial at Pann’s restaurant which had been Grandma Dee’s favorite place.

Station 19
Had a blast playing Helen on an episode of ABC’s Station 19. And yes, all of the cast is very tall and very very attractive.

It was a joy to be back in a trailer, filming an episode of soon-to-be-announced TV!
What a week!
Fun Press for Delicate State
Paula's Back for Resident Evil 8 (Village)!
It was SO hard to keep it under my hat until now, but now that RE8 has had an EPIC launch (the most online streamers at once!) I can finally share that not only is my RE7 character Eveline back, but I also got to bring the deliciously evil doll Angie to life via mocap and voice! Thank you to the RE team, my stellar costars for making every bar rise, and to the incredible fans. It’s been pure joy.
Check out some of the behind the scenes magic here (I’m in around the 8:15 mark):
Apex Legends and Titanfall
I had a blast doing the mocap for Young Valkyrie in this awesome #ApexLegends and #Titanfall short.
Directorial Debut!
My film baby, Delicate State is finally ready to meet the world! Hopefully she’ll stop trying to veer into becoming a documentary (GULP). I’ve just sent her off to new eyes for the first time as we begin the submission adventure! Follow @Delicate_State on twitter to see where she lands and support us.
Fire Emblem Heroes!
Thrilled to finally share that I got to voice Miranda for Fire Emblem Heroes!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Spot
Back to Work! Tho it’s a whole new world now. Auditions are mostly self-tapes from home these days, and one that came in was for one of our little guys, but they wanted the whole family to jump in. We did, and they ended up casting just me (sorry, kiddo, ha)! Turns out it was the same team I’d shot the Bookings.com spot with a while ago! Covid tests were given at the fitting and masks, zoning, face shields, and more were in effect. It made for a different filming experience for sure, but we got a fun spot shot! My legs are still wobbly after essentially 3 hours of squats in heels (you’ll see), but I sure do love being able to do what I do. I appreciate all of those who took extra care (and send pointed mom stares to the few who were less than safe).
First Ever ROECON - Resident Evil Convention!
Excited to announce the first ever (virtual!) ROECON for Resident Evil Fans! I LOVE playing Eveline in RE7 and look forward to the panels, cosplay, live signings via Streamily, and more that ROE Network has in the works. It’s happening Oct 28-31st and I’ll have signings of some exclusive prints on the 30th and 31st, hope to see you there!
Podcast Theater - Undiscovered Scripts
Had a blast recording a new Podcast with some amazing talents! Stay tuned for Back to Back to the Future coming to ears near you soon!
Delicate State - VFX Done!
VFX on my directorial debut is done! We also completed the 4k edit - my VFX/onlining wizard Big Dave Mattey is amazing. Now on to Color and to complete Sound Design! Thank you all for cheering on this film baby of mine. I SO hope it stops veering into documentary and remains a cautionary tale. Gulp
