ABOUT ME

Teresa is a distinguished filmmaker as well as a classically trained actor with a BA and an MA in the field, both completed at the top of her class. Her credentials behind-the-scenes span the indie film scene with Texas features such a Doonby to documentary work like Terrence Malick's Voyage of Time to national docu-reality shows like My 600-lb Life and Skin Tight. Because of her attention to detail and unwavering dedication to each project, Teresa is regularly called upon to work in the indie scene most often as an AD or script supervisor.
But her behind-the-scenes work is only half the story. Having studied the craft of acting both on stage and on camera, she has since starred in features such as Child of Light by Elizabeth Newman as well as played a principal role on Travel Channel’s UFO: The Lost Evidence, among other credits. With great esteem for her acting coach, Paula Russell, Teresa's craft focuses on relaxation and being truly present in the moment of the scene.
Meanwhile, she continues her love for filmmaking by writing and directing her own work, and her ongoing love for production contributes to her creative growth and ambitions as an actor, writer, and director.

"Every genuine artistic intuition goes beyond what the senses perceive and, reaching beneath reality's surface, strives to interpret its hidden mystery. The intuition itself springs from the depths of the human soul, where the desire to give meaning to one's own life is joined by the fleeting vision of beauty and of the mysterious unity of things. All artists experience the unbridgeable gap which lies between the work of their hands, however successful it may be, and the dazzling perfection of the beauty glimpsed in the ardour of the creative moment: what they manage to express in their painting, their sculpting, their creating is no more than a glimmer of the splendour which flared for a moment before the eyes of their spirit." (Letter to Artists, St. Pope John Paul II) |
