My Take
I first met Kelly Overton through Vanessa Van Helsing, and what stays with me is the trajectory rather than the role. She came from small-town Wilbraham, Massachusetts, and didn't settle for being in front of the camera. Stage actor, screen actor, then screenwriter and director. I have an instinctive respect for performers who cross over into building the story themselves, because it takes a different kind of courage to surrender the spotlight for the control booth. There's a toughness in her on-screen heroines and, I suspect, a careful, detail-minded patience behind the scenes. I find myself quietly rooting for whatever she chooses to make next.
