“Fran has been a friend and colleague for close to six years. We have worked together on numerous projects for film and stage. She is without question one of the hardest working and most studied actors/writers/producers I have met. Fran's professionalism is only matched by her passion for her craft. She commits herself fully to each project she's on and inspires all around her to push themselves to new heights. Of the few endorsements I've offered in my 25+ year career, consider this the most sincere acknowledgements of one of the best I've had the privilege to work with.”
“Fran is so intuitive and open. I just love working with her. She is able to understand exactly what I need to get to the right place for the work. Her creativity and kindness also make it easier for me to go deeper and creates a safe space for vulnerability.”
"I have worked with Fran on several occasions, and each session has provided me with a new perspective, or a different way to see or think about the script. Her script analysis and character breakdowns suggest that we, as actors, go deeper into the scene, and her techniques give different ways to do that.
Additionally, she is kind, patient and as an actress herself she understands the challenges that we face in the industry. . Whether in person, or on-line, I felt the same level of professionalism and expertise. I trust her knowledge of the craft and also know that she continues to educate herself which is imperative to stay in the loop of growing and emerging industry trends."
