Vicki says: “ACTRESS is the raw portrait of Brandy Burre who had a recurring role on ‘The Wire’ and then left acting to start a family. The documentary is about her attempt to reenter the acting world and it is not an easy journey. Ironically, her comeback role is as the star of Robert Greene’s raw documentary. Greene was Burre’s neighbor and was able to closely track her life as she transitions back. Burke feels trapped by both her professional and personal worlds. Her life plays like a soap opera. Greene is able to capture the melodrama and present Burre’s reality in a unique way. It is an unusual documentary.”
