NE-FAiRY-OUS!

Overview

The best revenge is a happy ending you can rub in their stupid faces!

WHEN SUSAN CALLS

Over twenty years ago, when I began pursuing my passion professionally, I found the lack of quality female roles and the low pay that went along with so many projects made it impossible to survive with the current cost of living. On top of that, there are even fewer opportunities for actresses older than 30 who don’t meet the industry’s unrealistic beauty standards. To do my part in changing the status quo, I created my production company, When Susan Calls. My goal is to boldly create and support work that challenges these societal norms.
