2. Jessica Hutchinson (Australia)

Jessica Hutchinson has been performing for longer than she can remember- much to the delight, and sometimes frustration, of her friends and family. Nothing can keep her away from doing what she does best. To play with the best Jessica has trained with successful actors from the VCA, UK, and in recent years has undertaken coaching with teachers from the Howard Fine Academy. She has been featured in many short films, performed Impro with Shaolin Punk & Impro Melbourne, was a part of the successful Escapist Magazine webseries “Tales from the Table”, and was lucky enough to experience first hand the grandeur of HBO’s “The Pacific” during their Melbourne episodes. There is no down time for Jessica as she writes her own screenplays in her spare time and most recently she just started a Vlog that showcases her life and behind the scenes footage of projects she is currently working on. Presently, she is filming Season 3 of Television’s “Fergus in Hell” – nothing can stop this actor from chasing her dreams to the ends of the earth!

3. Kate Michelle Grove (Australia)

After five years of shifting from one job to another, last year Kate found herself unhappy working as a chauffeur for a billionaire so she ended up quitting. To make herself feel better she went along to a shoot but then this was followed with another shoot and another one and it all seems to be going well until a love interest entered the picture and she ended up moving to Italy several months later as she chased him around Europe, Kate found herself living in London where she performed in a comedy short film titled ‘No Roads Lead To Cannes’, directed by the talented actor and filmmaker, Ethan J. Greene. Money troubles led Kate back home to Sydney though where she was cast in her first feature film, ‘Awake for a Moment’ which was directed by the ambitious up and coming filmmaker Elizabeth Cooper. Since her return, Kate has also performed in her first two plays; she was lucky enough to be cast in a role supporting the seasoned actors Jodine Muir and Kim Knuckey in ‘The Admirable Crichton’ which was directed by Nicholas Gledhill as well as a collection of short plays written by the award winning writer Alex Broun.

4. Genevieve Brock (Australia)

Genevieve is an Australian film and television actress who is currently based in Melbourne. She has worked on a number of feature films, short films and television commercials. She particularly loves comedy and action films and as a result, spends far too much time in the gym getting buff for potential roles. She most recently co-produced and starred in the 30 minute short film ‘What a Gun” which doubles as a television pilot to an upcoming series in the works. The film will also premiere in Los Angeles on the festival circuit later this year. Currently, Genevieve is writing and starring in a 6 part skit series and has been cast in an action feature film which begins filming at the end of the year.
