With short films, series, theatre and more under her belt, this South African is definitely going places, 'America ain't seen nothin' yet'!

She took some time to get onto a Zoom called chat about her projects, her directorial debut and what the future holds for her in Hollywood!

While the universe is showing us her chaos, I'd like to share something inspired by my own chaos. This is my baby. "You Up?" is a dark comedy about insomnia. I play both characters. Nina is a nurse who tries to sleep at night, but she is tormented by Sonja - the monster who lives under her bed. These are trying times, but I'm doing what I can to give this film the festival run that she deserves. Swipe for my wordy thanks - which doesn't even begin to describe how thankful I truly am. Thank you to this incredible team for making sure acting was my only job on set ❤ Produced by @virginiablatter Directed by @fla.mee DP @anna_vialova Sound @themikesnyder 1st AD @conradoarruda Gaffer @gfpicturespage 1stAC @aandrea0320 and @bradpowersdp Grip @_uncle_dan_ 2nd AC @fulloffunfuller Script supervisor @pascale.lefkowitz Nina/Sonja stand-in @noemy_delmar Production Design @jere_bear97 Art director @isabelle.germain MU&Hair @that_cara BTS Photography @brandonkoen and @jessicagreenhoeacting PAs @mmm_rissa and @matthew.ruf Location @doudyloves and @tamara.assaf Edited by @ratuaelian Sound mixing: Kellen Misaki Composed by @takumakatomusic at @mihollywood
