The countdown to the production of Pizzaman is on. With five weeks left until the camera rolls we have a lot cooking in order to be prepared for the shoot. Until then, we are back with another spotlight on a cast member of Pizzaman!

Name: Julie Chapin
Role in Pizzaman: Helen

Julie will be starring in our short slasher flick as Helen. After her young son, Waldo was run down by a pizza delivery driver, Helen finds herself grief stricken and vows to never eat pizza again. She has dedicated her life to running all pizza establishments out of town and when the new shop, Pizza Heaven opens, with the help of her husband and partner in crime Teddy - they seek revenge!

We are so excited to work with the local Philadelphia actor, Julie Chapin. She has an extensive filmography, which can be found here. Her audition tape absolutely blew us away and we look forward to seeing her work when we film Pizzaman this November.
