My childhood dream has come true! I won the Best Actress award in a major NYC Film Festival last night!
Thank you for allowing me to share this amazing news with you. Your support through the years has meant so much to me.
The brilliant young “Best Director” DJ Higgins who won a National Italian American Foundation grant funded by the great Hollywood producers, the Russo Brothers (Captain America, the Avengers) to film SANTINO. DJ wrote the script and filmed it in ONE DAY to become a multiple award-winning short film! An incredible accomplishment for a director! Considered almost impossible by Industry Standards! BRAVO DJ!
Thank you to the “Best Actor” Artie Pasquale for introducing me to DJ as a possible casting choice for the zany, heartwarming character of the cousin who is an opera singer who comes for Sunday dinner! Would this be considered “type casting”! LOL!
