Dear DJ, So great to hear from you. Sorry this has taken a while, but I have been slammed upon my return! Attached are a photo and bio, and I would love it if you would attach some of our pictures together. Please send me all you have as I yearn to re-experience the filming! I just want you to know that playing the part of Naomi was the best experience I have ever had as an actress. The cast and crew were absolutely phenomenal. I still pinch myself to make sure it really happened! I so look forward to finishing this film. I’m very proud to be associated with it. Thank you so much. Blessings, Eleese
