march or stroll
For me, early March is one of those liminal times — not quite winter anymore, yet not quite spring yet either. I’ve been loving dressing for these in between times — thoughtfully choosing the items that, together, signal this threshold time. Speaking of cusps, In February I filmed a short that had the craziest coincidences […]

Hey 19
Happy New Year! I had some sweet holiday times with close family and powerful theater back east. And now it’s back to LA and all that that entails. Some performance highlights were seeing the off-broadway play “Daniel’s Husband” (sadly in its final days) and the musical “The Band’s Visit” (I loved it so much), not […]

from D-town to December
Happy December, friends! I’ve just come back from a few days in the great city of Detroit. The architecture, the food, and the people…oh yes….creatively nourishing all of it. XD

Sweet Home (#tiredandgrateful)
It’s catch up time after a month of intense work. The commercial shoot was incredibly fun, and the film had its out of town challenges with long days and outdoor scenes in sweltering temps. But we all got through it, thanks to everyone’s dedication and commitment. The crew was so helpful protecting the cast from […]

Happy June, Y’all! There have been two buds a budding. One is a feature film booking, in which I’ll be playing a major supporting role filming this July. It’s a pychological thriller with a wonderful group of artists…can’t wait to play with them all. The second is a commercial booking shooting soon. Good times! More […]

Early Spring
I love the spring. Especially early spring when the smell of winter is still dangling in the air. Something is coming, pushing through, already pushed through from all that waiting and in some cases aching, and what will it be? Maybe it’s the question that I love best. It has begun. The faintest quickening. How […]

One Small Step
Greetings, lovely people. (***Scroll down to forgo memory lane + just watch if you prefer.) So, I found this restored footage of a scene from China Beach, the astonishing war drama series that I had the honor of working on many moons ago. It was my first time in a speaking role on a professional […]

Healing New Year
Dear Friends, I’ve been meaning to write, but I’ve been on the mend this month. Over December, I had the very exciting idea to go skiing in Nagano, Japan, as my husband and I would be seeing family roundabout there for the new year. You guessed it, things went not as it expected (do they […]

My favorite sport
Happy fall, dear readers! There is something about the filmmaking process that breaks my heart open every time..something about the intimacy and yet the total impersonal aspect of it. When it’s going well, there is a pervading egolessness that allows everyone to shine. We are all together, seen and unseen, creating something from nothing. And […]

Here is the love
Here are some stills from “A Song of Consolation,” a tender USC short I recently had the pleasure of working on. The story is about an unlikely connection between two loners who share a love of music. You can view the entire film here. Enjoy! xDalit

Bizarre & Beautiful
I’m thrilled it’s 2016. I remember as a child wondering what it would be like to live in the two thousands….it was hard to even conceptualize at the time, and sometimes it still is. Well, we made it. We’re here. And in this bizarre beautiful world, there are countless chances to wake up. To begin […]
