Battle Scars in select theaters, July 14th

Battle Scars, directed by Danny Buday, was an amazing film to be a part of. I was honored to work alongside this amazing cast- Heather McComb, Zane Holtz, Ryan Eggold, Jamal Woolard, Kristen Renten, Essence Atkins, with Fairuza Balk and David James Elliot. This was truly a wonderful experience…

The film revolves around a wounded soldier after his return home from active duty in Afghanistan. I play Luke’s (Zane Holtz) wife, Jules, in this heartbreaking and poignant film. Taking on this role really gave me an insight of what it’s like to be a wife/partner of someone in active duty and beyond. I praise you women and men. My heart goes out to you and my heart breaks for you. You are a strong breed, and although I didn’t experience this in my own life, experiencing it on film gave me a painful glimpse into your world. Your strength moves me and your love for your husbands and wives is inspiring, to say the least.

This story has an extremely important and timely message. I knew instantly when I read the script that I had to be a part of this film. It’s a beautiful thing when a role comes along that makes the hair on your neck stand up. That’s what this script did for me. I was shocked. I was angry. I was moved… And this is why I do what I do- to be able to be a small part of telling a story this pivotal. To hopefully help someone going through a similar situation, and even better, possibly help someone heal…

Every soldier has a story. Sometimes Wounds Don’t Heal… Battle Sacrs.
