Today we’d like to introduce you to Sheri Lee.
Sheri, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
For me, my childhood dreams of being on that big screen were almost impossible as I juggled single parenthood, 3 jobs, and of course the abundance of those beautiful things we call bills.
But. When you are truly passionate about something, nothing is impossible. I have done theater since I was in kindergarten, landing a small role in Hansel and Gretel. I quickly blossomed and worked hard and landed roles such as Cinderella, Hedy LaRue in “How to Succeed in Business without really trying”, and Morticia in “The Addams Family musical”.
About 6 years ago is when I started researching how to break into film and once I had my first headshot, completed my resume, and put myself out there- you couldn’t stop me. Submit, submit, submit, commit. I have 4 children, a full-time job in the nursing field, and I work full-time as an actor. I’m very busy and that is just how I like it.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
As an actress, it’s a magical thing to see and hear the audience react to your art, People need to FEEL, and it’s indescribable to know that my passion can be the magic behind those feelings coming through.
My favorite is to make people laugh. “Love at First Boop” with Fat Foot Films is a perfect example of how my craft was utilized to bring laughter to the room. To hear that my performance in the film helped someone who wasn’t having a good day makes me feel accomplished.
I am an actress. I take pride in saying that. I have performed in roles that have made people laugh, cry, quiver, scream, wonder, think, love, and so much more, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart” – Helen Keller
Do you think conditions are generally improving for artists? What more can cities and communities do to improve conditions for artists?
There is an abundance of opportunities for artists out there. You just have to own your craft and go hard, I feel that life for an artist has become a little easier in the recent years due to social media presence and the ease of self-promoting. Boston is a remarkable city that has a clear love for the arts. Welcoming more filming opportunities with larger production companies would certainly help the arts community to thrive. Also, less traffic. 😉 haha
What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
Luckily for us, social media and the internet in general has made viewing most films and keeping up with current events very simple, LOL I have some films that have been released on Amazon Prime (The Beaumonts, Cowboy Spirit-my first film!), YouTube, and Vimeo. www.IMDB.me/SheriLee is a link to my IMDB page where you can view what I have done, am currently working on, and what I am gearing up to do.
