New York-based actor, writer, and producer
exciting things happened in 2024…
BABY BUMPS, a short comedy Jamey wrote, co-produced, co-directed, acted in, and edited (whew!) premiered at the Soho International Film Festival. It also screened on opening night of the Yonkers Film Festival where we won the award for Best Comedic Short Film!
About the film: All hell breaks loose when Beth, a high-strung mother-to-be, is gifted the wrong stroller at her baby shower. As her childless and slightly-chaotic best friends Sara, Tara, and Clara try (and fail) to relate, Beth goes into full meltdown mode. Through recorded video messages for her unborn child, we learn that Beth might not feel as prepared for motherhood as she lets on.

Today she is a proud member of AEA and has worked regionally at theatres such as Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, St. Louis Repertory Theatre, and Arrow Rock Lyceum. She studies on-camera acting with Heidi Miami Marshall.
