And I was cast as the lead in “Growing Pains”, a coming of age independent short film about the Covid-19 pandemic."

"I worked under the guidance of Aeron MacIntyre at Film Actors Cafe. I learned how to be present and really listen to my scene partner. In addition to taking film acting classes under Aeron, I returned to him as a resource for help with auditions, monologues and one-on-one coaching. If I was struggling with something, I'd call him and after a single session, I'd enhance my perspective and performance. I am greatful for his patience, wealth of knowledge and the safe space that he always creates for me to work."

After a long hiatus focusing on filmmaking and teaching, Aeron landed several roles in major television films and programs shooting in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. It was a great feeling to be out of quarantine and back on the set again (The productions were very COVID conscious)!
