Most Promising Emerging Talent Nelson Fringe (From the Ground Up) 2010 Best Female Actor in a Leading Role Wellington District Theatre Federation Awards (Anne Frank) TESTIMONIALS “I first encountered Bethany on the set of a short fictional film where I was immediately struck by her ability to take direction, understand what was required of her and perform under pressure with competing demands and expectations. She appeared comfortable under pressure and accommodated the demands of a crew and her fellow performers. On this particular set Bethany stood out as having professional level skills and confidence in her abilities.” – Dr Paul Wolffram (2018) Senior Lecturer in Film at Victoria University of Wellington Director of the Miramar Creative Centre “We first filmed Bethany in 2010 in her stand out stage performance as Anne Frank in the Wellington Repertory Theatre production of “The Diary of Anne Frank”. We were delighted to work with her again doing voiceover for our 2015 short film for the Waimarie Riverboat Centre in Whanganui. Over the following three years, we worked with Bethany on a number of projects where she has provided voiceovers and some onscreen dialogue. This culminated with her amazing presentation of our two hour long feature documentary, ‘Mr Mainline Steam’, where she provided both onscreen acting and offscreen dialogue. Bethany is extremely talented in multiple disciplines and has been a great delight to work with, and her performances have been far better than we had hoped for. She is very diligent in her preparation and has a determination and dedication to her craft, and we would confidently recommend to anyone wanting a thoroughly professional young female actor or voiceover artist.” – Graeme Moffatt (2018) Director of Capital Video Productions “While everyone on stage is hugely talented, there are some standouts like [...] Bethany, whose energy seems to propel the entire show forward.” – Ines Maria Almeida (Theatreview, 2021) “A very strong singer, Bethany belts her vocal skills throughout the show.” – Abby Rainbow (Art Murmurs, 2021)
