Not like the Movies
Hey, I’m Faith, and I’m a type A-24-year-old actor living in Los Angeles. I don’t want to spend all of my twenties waiting for my thirties, and I don’t want you to either. Grow with me in “Not like the Movies”, where I give you an honest, candid view of the struggles and wins within the acting industry and the monster we call your twenties. Whether you need to untangle real life from instagram or your value in the entertainment industry from your humanity, there is no right answer, just one where you feel you’ve taken a step in the right direction.
