So who the hell is Heather Coutts? Well she is my gorgeous, amazing, sassy, sexy and downright wonderful girlfriend. Besides being my backbone and helped cast and produce Tremble & Spark, she also plays the key supporting role of Annette. I don't know how the hell she was able to keep her shit straight, but she did.
I always knew that Heather (she likes to spell her name hthr) was going to play Annette (who is Veronica's assistant in T&S. ) I wrote the role for her - mousy, insecure, and a little bit nuts - all the things Hthr is not. For someone who has her background in theater - she nailed it! Hands down I get more compliments about her performance than anyone else in the film. Make me pretty proud as a director, producer and girlfriend.As a producer - I couldn't have asked for anyone else to pick up in the areas that I couldn't handle. I got a lot of advice, and offers for help, but many of that all fell through. People are busy - I get it - especially when I didn't have money to pay a producer. There were many nights when I would call her up on the verge of cracking and she just picked up the ball and ran with it. She handled all of the casting, paperwork, and - well I don't really know everything she did because I was so busy I couldn't pay attention! I don't know how she did it all AND learn her lines.
So on her birthday - baby this is ALL FOR YOU! I love you and thank you so much for making this happen! (and I promise you will get that tattoo as payment!)
