Update...!
I also completed a wonderful short film called 91 a few weeks ago, about a group of friends discussing their earliest childhood memories. I play a french canadian woman, so it was great to put on a little accent and speak some french too.

Plot Summary Childhood memories and how they shape us as adults "There are three sides to every story: your side, my side and the truth and no one is lying. Memories shared serve each differently." Robert Evans, producer
Five longtime friends share moments from their childhood - one part magical, one part comical, sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes tragic. Is what they remember real or imagined? Are they images plucked from the recesses of their minds or planted by stories and photographs? When challenged to close their eyes and think of themselves as the smallest child they can remember being, what do they see? And what does it tell us about who they are now?

Finally some GREAT news....'Ninety-one' has been accepted into it's first festival. We will be premiering at the Newport Beach Film Festival in California. It is in it's 11th year and runs April 22nd to the 29th. I am really excited to be screening at this festival because my friend, collaborator and co-producer of this film, Elliot V. Kotek has been a guest speaker at this festival on a number of occasions. He speaks very highly of Newport and this year he is helping them program a spotlight on Australia - his native country.

Lights, Camera, Film Fest!: NBFF Filmmaker's Five with Jill Carter
By Kelly Strodl
Q: Your take on the performances of the lead actors, (set backs, triumphs, impressions, good surprises, etc.)
A: Working in the film industry has afforded me the perfect opportunity to meet and watch actors perform. Therefore when it came time to cast my film I already had a number of talented people in mind. Toronto has a very gifted pool of actors to draw from. I love my main cast! I am very happy with their performances but knew I would get nothing less, as most of them were people I had worked with before.
