ME TIME held the top spot as the #1 Movie on NETFLIX

in the U.S. for 12 Days & the #1 Movie in Mexico for 7 Days.

It’s been a joy to see this wacky, heartfelt comedy find a large audience.  Not only was it a blast to play with Kevin, Regina Hall, Luis Gerardo Mendez, director John Hamburg, and my fellow agents-of-change at the gala, but learning about the ripples a film can initiate in our lives brings another layer of meaning.

What a pleasure it’s been to listen to the feedback from my parenting communities about what a fun release it was to kick back together, watch the movie, and laugh, and how much they related to the relationship dynamics.  I love the way the fizzy energy and vulnerability inherent in comedy can shift perspectives and connect people in new ways.  More, please!

SYNOPSIS

Stay-at-home dad Sonny (Kevin Hart), shakes things up when his wife, prominent architect Maya (Regina Hall), takes the kids out-of-town for spring break, leaving him some “me time”. Best friend Huck (Mark Walhberg) persuades Sonny to join his epic birthday party and hilarity ensues!

I play tech innovator and globe-trotting philanthropist Delphine Rism and I had an absolute blast on set. Working with Kevin Hart, Regina Hall, Luis Gerardo Mendez, and my fellow “philanthropists” Connie Chen, Kieran Roberts, and Shyaam Karra, I spent the last quarter of our shoot doing layer upon layer of Improv.

Writer/director John Hamburg’s creativity was in full effect as he moved the cameras in opposite directions in a circle around all of us, catching our stories, riffs, and verbal flights as we embroidered them in the moment. Kevin and Regina were especially brilliant and lovely and we had a great time.

The experience was a creative joy.

COMING in 2023

THE PORTRAIT

Did you get your fill of ghost stories this spooky season?

The gothic thriller "The Portrait”, starring Natalia Cordova-Buckley, Ryan Kwanten and Virginia Madsen, will have a top-secret screening next month and I can’t wait to see it. 

In the vein of  Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture Of Dorian Grey” and the Henry James classic “The Turn Of The Screw”, this uncanny feature was shot at an estate steeped in the residue of faded glory, the 100-year-old Villa Narcissa, which is rumored to be “haunted” by an unhappy spirit.  This chilling tale debuts in 2023 on a major streamer. British duo writer/producer David Griffiths and director Simon Ross create an eerie atmosphere which envelops this story in an uncanny beauty.

In keeping with the mystery, mum’s the word on my role.

THE DEATH THAT AWAITS

Penned by Rachel Kiley and directed by the multi-talented Richard J. Lee, the movie centers on my on-set daughter Nina (Megan Lawless) and her caregiver Cassie (Katya Martin), as a transformation rips the family apart.  This thriller is heading to festivals in 2023, and I’ll keep you posted so you can meet me at a screening near you!

Here I am with Ron Yuan, Megan Lawless, and Tim Gabriel as a happy family on our final day on set.

B.F.F.R.

A Chekhovian short with a blend of comedy and pathos from Swedish writer/director Erika Apelgren and Venezuelan cinematographer Eduardo Whaite, “B.F.F.R.” centers on Angelica, a lonely tech entrepreneur who is a bit of Yin to the Yang of “Me Time”’s Delphine.   

Finding herself isolated to the point of despair after a trauma in young adulthood leaves her shattered, Angelica makes one final attempt to forge an emotional connection with another human. Can she break the shell that’s kept her full humanity locked inside?
