National Commercial for Breztri
This was an incredible commercial to shoot for Aztra Zenica and Breztri.
We shot this and was one of the first productions to shoot during Covid-19. All safety procautions were taken and we all had fun time shooting this fabulous commercial.
I got to work with some of the most successful "behind the scenes" talent around. My director was multiple Academy and Emmy Award Winning, Robert Stromberg, who was just divine to work with and a true gem! Our Cinematographer was the remarkable Academy Award Winning Claudio Miranda, who made our commercial just remarkable to look at. It is a stunning display of all of our collective talents coming together. What a joy to have lent my talent to this extraordinary campaign.
You can also see me in the print ads as well. Let me know where you see them!

National Commercial for The Home Depot
All of my dreams came true with this one. Truth: I thought I was auditioning for a "holiday spot", which would have just made my head explode.

Clemency
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Michelle plays “Sonia”, the assistant to Bernadine, a prison warden working on death row, played by the great Alfre Woodard. This film was just incredible to work on and the cast was phenomenal.
