"Amy is professional and a delight to work with. She was not only committed but she also is just extremely talented as an actress. She brings a positive attitude to the set and a willingness to immerse herself 110% into her role. Plus, she is not a primadonna and is anxious to serve others. We will hire her anytime a role can be filled by her!"
John S. Howard,
Producer, American Family Studios
“Amy is an outstanding actress. Her portrayal of Mary Magdalene spoke to many peoples hearts. Her professionalism makes her a pleasure to work with. Her Christian values make her a pleasure to be around. During post production, she was able to come into a sterile studio and give emotional performances for ADR. She not only was able to give us great crying tracks on cue, but she was able to ad lib off camera dialog and emotional sounds as well. I look forward to working with her again.”
