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…

stealth moves
Hello and yikes! I can’t believe we’re on the verge of June. So far this year feels like one of those picture flip books that you thumb through and the moving images pass by so quickly, it leaves you with a sweet ache. Ah…… In acting news, a film I worked on is making the…

In the Garden: Colony
What a joy it was co-starring on Colony’s Season 2, Episode 10: “The Garden of Beasts.” This show is so good, and this episode was killer. If you like television dramas that make your heart race + your heart break, you need to watch this. I’m so blessed I got to play with these passionate folks…

Fresh Year, Fresh Moment
Happy new year, all! This year promises to have many surprises, and I think most people can feel that in their bones. I wish us strength, clarity and compassion as we travel forward. Lots of fun stuff happening here. Today marks the “online premiere” (who knew there was such a thing?–lol) of “Waiting for You.”…

Fall Showings
Hello and happy fall! Recent films making their way around the world… “Waiting for You” screened in Berlin last week, and the feature Happy Hunting premiered at Los Angeles’s Screamfest the week before. In that one I played Melissa, the mysterious sister of the lead, played by Martin Dingle Wall. Alas, the sis role didn’t make…

Catching up a little
It’s nearly fall, and I haven’t posted in quite a while. Here we go! April was a big month for me; my husband and I were in Japan having our long-awaited Shinto marriage ceremony. We’d wanted to have one back in 2010, but the Tsunami and earthquake intercepted. And so, during spring break we jetted there,…

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…
