Casting Update: Alexis Boozer joins the cast for short film "appleseeds."

Hazar!!

So very excited to announce that Alexis Boozer is heading our cast for our short film appleseeds.

Alexis Boozer
I first met Alexis when we were shooting the second season of the web series We Have To Stop Now.
Working with her was such a great experience and I was so impressed with her work that I immediately thought about her for the lead role in this film.

We need an actress able to convey a very complex range of emotions with very few lines. We need to see her struggle, strength and her fear, through every glance and movement. Alexis was able to convey a really rich, complex character in just a few minutes of screen time in the web series, so I can't wait to see what she does with this role.

As a director, I couldn't be happier that she can join us in this film and also be part of the screening/benefits we plan for the fall of 2012. We are using this film as a centerpiece for panel discussions with female leaders in the entertainment industry to explore the representation of women and girls in film and media. We are very happy that Alexis will join those thought leaders and help raise money and awareness for women at risk, domestic violence and abused children.

Alexis also stars in the award-winning series, Leap Year.  Check this out the show's second season premiere on HULU premiere on June 18th. The First season is available now on HuluPlus here.
The show has garnered all sorts of awards including Winner of NATPE 2012 Digital Luminary Award and Winner of 2012 Silver Telly Award: Best Comedy. Alexis was nominated for 2012 IAWTV Award Best Female Performance (Comedy). Don't miss this show!
