Big Update: I just wanted to share the
great news with everyone in that I landed a lead role in a Farrelly Brothers
film,T for Terrorists, and we start shooting at the end of this month. I can be seen in the upcoming short Speed Mating. Check out the trailer. The short film Fine Line Between Cute and Creepy has been submitted to the Academy and is being considered for their short film category. The The last couple of years have been very busy for Karen. Most recently, she is featured in the upcoming Steven Soderbergh feature, "Full Frontal," starring Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt. She can also be seen as the lead (opposite Michael Bergin) in the award winning comedy short, "The Fine Line Between Cute and Creepy," which has played to rave reviews at The Seattle and Palm Beach International Film Festivals and won "Best of the Fest" at the Rochester International Film Festival. Additionally, she stars in festival winner "Up Against Amanda" (www.UpAgainstAmanda.com) with Justine Priestley and David DeWitt. The film is in negotiations with HBO, is currently being distributed by Concorde-New Horizons and is available in video stores worldwide. She's also getting a lot of attention in ifilm.com's festival-winner "Innocent" (Billy Maddox, Jose Yenque) and "A Love Letter To Steve McQueen" (www.MeanTimeProd.com) |
