Episode 213: Finnerty Steeves, Actor, Writer, Producer

November 03, 2020 by Julie Harris Oliver in Diversity, entertainment, Film & TV, hollywood, Independent Film, acting, DGA, Directors, gender equity, Producer, Studios, Stunts, women

For this episode I got to sit with Finnerty Steeves. Now, you know Finnerty as an actor from the shows, Orange is the New Black, Half Life, Louie, House of Cards, Smash, Sopranos – basically everything, including a lot of Broadway credits. What you may not yet know is that she just wrote, produced and starred in her own feature film called Before/During/After. This sharp-witted dramedy studies a middle-aged NYC theatre actress suddenly forced to figure out the kind of person she wants to portray in real life when her marriage comes to an end after she catches her husband cheating.

It is a gorgeous film and for this particular middle-aged woman who got divorced, it really resonated. We had a delicious talk about acting, the craft, the journey of making a movie and of going through one of those life experiences that really makes you who you are.
