Gardner's Almanac

🌻 SHARON GARDNER ~ SUMMER EDITION 🌼

 

ME TIME

 

with Kevin Hart, Regina Hall, Mark Wahlberg now on

 

NETFLIX

(#1 movie in US)

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.

 

Wacky, a little raunchy, and layered with relatable parenting and relationship dynamics, ME TIME stands as the NUMBER 1 MOVIE on Netflix in America.

 

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.

IMDB / TRAILER

Here I am cracking up Kevin with my rendition of Snowball’s “Panda” rap from “The Secret Life Of Pets 2”, in which Kevin memorably voices Snowball the rabbit. My children are big fans of this animated classic and were so excited when I booked the role of Delphine, they shouted “Mom’s making a movie with Snowball!”

COMING in 2023

THE PORTRAIT

IMDB

In the vein of “The Picture Of Dorian Grey” and the Henry James classic “The Turn Of The Screw”, the feature "The Portrait” stars Natalia Cordova-Buckley, Ryan Kwanten and Virginia Madsen.

Filmed at an estate steeped in the residue of faded glory, the 100-year-old Villa Narcissa, this haunting tale debuts in early '23 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

IMDB

I just wrapped post-production ADR on August 25th for this intense feminist thriller "The Death That Awaits" with Paul Johansson, Megan Lawless, Katya Martin, and Ron Yuan. I play Angela, a mother confounded by her daughter’s mysterious illness and trapped in emotional isolation by her own rigid commitment to keeping up appearances.

 

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. 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.

IMDB

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?   

 

In conclusion, I wish you a wonderful summer’s end!

 

Warmly,
