Susan Willis as Jessica
Character Description
Jessica is nothing if not totally serene and put-together. She abides by the platitudes she sells her patients and the readers of her new self-help book. No one can make her lose her cool- or so she thought.
Scene Description
Jessica Brown is a renowned new age therapist, complete with her photo on the cover of her own book and ready to go on her book tour. So the last thing she expected was for Nona, her biggest train wreck patient, to quit, rejecting all Jessica stands for.

ActressSusan,
You are so fantastic! I just love watching you perform in what I've seen. You are so natural - especially with the pillow. SO well done. Thank you for always giving your all!

FilmmakerYou owned this character! A booking worthy performance. You had all the subtleties to be believable as a renowned author/therapist while also engaging with the patient at each step of the conversation. Only note would be that I was hoping to see an inner battle as she dealt with someone so difficult. Even though she may write about the “answers”, in her own life - like this situation - they don’t always work. That aside, the character was absolutely created and recognizable in this tape! Nice work.
