TGIF! Check out BRB's latest film project, "A Taste of Honey"

Here are two words for you on a Friday ... Pig dance. Have no idea what that means? Well, you will when you watch this fabulous short film just released by talented new filmmaker Nikoleta Vatiqi.

She describes the film this way: "An experimental narrative exposing the different perspectives of identity issues through the relationship between thirteen year old Amelia and her mother Louise as they undergo deep breaking points as well as personal growth."

This author had the privilege of playing Louise, directed by Nikoleta to conjure up something along the lines of Joan Crawford in "Mommy Dearest." It was wonderful fun, a very interesting bad-mom role to dig into. Just what is going on inside this woman's head? You'll hear the thoughts of her daughter Amelia, as the action progresses in their home, but Louise's psychoses remain a bit of a mystery, informed by a very unusual dance and a few other clues dropped along the way, amid a delightfully eerie tone and "Twin Peaks"-ian atmospherics ...

Thanks so much to Nikoleta for this opportunity! I loved every minute of this project.
