About DJ:
As a young actress taking on my
first film, I am extremely lucky to
have worked with someone like DJ
Perry. From day one, DJ acted as
a mentor by enthusiastically
offering sincere feedback and
insights to the movie business.

Fans know DJ is naturally talented, but
more importantly his genuine passion
for acting inspires those around him to
learn the craft and fully develop their
characters and the film in its entirety.
Having such a complete love for film is
both a blessing and a curse, and DJ has
certainly enhanced that spark in my life.
