S Y N O P S I S

When Sasha Moore, a fugitive, wanted in three countries for stealing a diamond from the British Crown Jewels, resurfaces after years of hiding, she sets out to "acquire" her favorite Monet which is being auctioned at Christie's. When a celebrity’s husband seeks to purchase the painting, the time is perfect, and Sasha’s plan is set into motion. With Interpol, Mi6, and the FBI on her tail, will Sasha pull off another legendary art heist?

--------------------------------------------------

I was inspired to create a complex female character who is fearless, and challenges the status quo in order to serve the greater good. Sasha is known around the world as one of the most brilliant art thieves that ever lived, and yet, she believes her actions are always righteous. Sasha is the feminine answer to Jason Bourne. She is complex, mysterious, and able to accomplish everything she wants to.

I am so proud of the work in this film. I produced SASHA for a 72 hour Short film challenge at The Actors Green Room and I was fortunate to have an amazing group of talented actors with me for the ride. I believe their unique talents shine brightly in this short.

We shot this film in three days and I am deeply grateful to my hard working crew, especially to my director of photography, Jacques Lang who offered valuable insight and creative ideas and agreed to drive with me to Laguardia Airport at two in the morning after a full day of shooting to “get that last shot.”

This film is truly a collaborative effort and I am honored to have been at the helm of it. I look forward to creating the feature film!
