Emma Perkins in The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals
Performing Arts
Emma and Paul bond over their hatred of musicals while trying to escape the zombie apocalypse. Unfortunately for them, the zombies can sing… Emma Perkins was a dream role for me. I got to sing and dance, there were moments to improvise, and the show, itself, was hilarious. In addition to performing in the show, I was also a producer.
The Singing Duck
Performing Arts
A Dark Comedy Short Film - Winner of Best Comedy Film at the Georgia Shorts Film Festival. I played Charissa, a singer whose career had been overshadowed by her music partner…a duck. Full film available to view at tessmervenne.com
Voice of an Angel
Performing Arts
Short Film written and directed by Samantha Soldo. I played Emerson, a Catholic School girl in the honors choir with the voice of an angel, but a demonic secret. Film is not yet public. See tessmervenne.com for my acting reel!
Cavity
Performing Arts
Dark Comedy Short Film written & directed by Abigail Petipas. I played Athena, a girl who has been unlucky in love, until she meets a hot dentist. There’s not much she wouldn’t do to impress him. This film drew inspriation from Chicago (2002) and Secretary (2002). Athena was such a fun character study. Film not available to view at this time. Check out my reel at tessmervenne.com!
Damn! That’s Some Good Content!
Performing Arts
Original Sketch Comedy Show at SNL Bootcamp directed by Matt Walsh (UCB, Veep, etc.) I was selected to be both a Writer and an Actor in this show. We wrote and developed sketches to put up a fully produced show at the end of the week, just like SNL. This was the project that solidified my passion for comedy :).
