Jim Dorman
The Patriot Ledger
(From a review of "The Boy with No Name," a North Quincy Community Theatre show.)
“Mary was a pleasure to work with, her screen presence is amazing. She did so well on the first film that we brought her back to work on a second one. She's truly a wonderful actress!”
Isabel Garcia
Filmmaker, IG Media Productions
“I hired Mary for a student film I was directing, and not only was she smart, capable and organized, but she brought her own creativity to the part that made it a joy to work with her. I found that Mary put all her energy into delivering the material to the point where I minimally needed to direct her. She would be a welcome addition to any team!”
Sean Huck
Filmmaker, New England Institute of Art Film Dept.
"Mary is a great person to work with on any production and casting directors, directors looking to improve the quality of their films should consider her for their projects.”
