PS- If you've made it this far, it means you like reading. I'm seeking some experienced readers for coverage. Let me know and we can discuss.
Dana Bretz is an actress, known for Annie Marshall (2016), Sugarwheels (2011) and Falling Down (2010).
I am your oddly confident, blissfully unaware Maria Bamford-Jennifer Aniston-“Phoebe Buffay”-Goldie Hawn cocktail.
Hello! It IS a great time to be an actor and artist.
I’ve been acting and doing standup / sketch comedy for about 12 years on and off. I started in Los Angeles and am now based in New York. I was a part of the award winning cast of Sugarwheels. A dark comedy short starring Ernie Hudson.
Feel free to reach out! danabretzhollywood@gmail.com
