Actress: Film

Actress Director: Robert Greene 4th Row Films/The Cinema Guild In this intriguing mix of documentary, cinema vérité and stylised melodrama we see the actress Brandy Burre in less than domestic bliss. We know her from The Wire. Since then she’s been a stay-at-home mom, her choice; she walked away from the business to start a […]
