After meeting Joanna at the Tribeca Film Festival and being enamored with her charisma, I familiarized myself with her portfolio and was incredibly impressed with her acting. I cast her in my forthcoming feature film Eon, based on the short film which caught the attention of Steven Spielberg.
Emily Carmichael, Director and writer for Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment, Pacific Rim, 20th Century Fox
