Electric Jesus
“In 1986 hair metal was king. Bands like Bon Jovi, Poison, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Motley Crüe, and Ratt ruled the airwaves...and spawned a thousand copycat bands and millions of head-banging teenage fans. At the same time, evangelical Christians—in an attempt to distance themselves from the hedonistic subculture of metal and preach the Gospel—promoted a cottage industry of Christian metal bands. 1986 was the peak of this push. While super-group Stryper found fame outside of Evangelical circles, dozens of “white metal” bands thrived within the wholesome Christian youth group culture of sprawling suburban America. ELECTRIC JESUS is about one of those bands.”

In this newly-released, I play Bethany, daughter of the town’s pastor (played by the legendary Judd Nelson) and the older sister to Sarah, one of the film’s main featured characters. The director and writer of this film is Chris White, who is known for his work on the TV series “Star Trek Continues”.

Feature Film in my home-town : Columbus, georgia
Working on this production was such a magical experience! Not only were the cast and crew members kind, generous, and hardworking artists, but we were also filming in the very town I grew up in. After graduating from Columbus High School, I left Georgia for New York City to study Acting at Pace University. Once I graduated with my bachelor’s degree, I returned home to continue my acting career. It was surreal to film scenes in churches that I once played in and on streets that I used to ride my bike on with my friends. I loved getting to be a part of this film and I am excited to see it become so successful!
