“I was cast in an independent film called Myth of the Ghost Kingdom very early on in my PEM journey.
With just a little over a month of PEM training, I felt comfortable and confident in my first leading role in a feature.
My performance was favorably reviewed by several independent film critics and I was even awarded “best actress” by the London Women Film Festival, and it’s now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon.”
– Ingrid Alli, Actress
