Robin E. Fitzgerald (Cassie)
Robin Fitzgerald hails from Chicago where she studied at the io Theater and The Second City. She also studied at the L.A. Groundlings. She loves both sketch and improv comedy and currently has a comedy series on YouTube “Fitz&Friends. She says, “This film was so much fun to be a part of-the cast and crew had a blast together-getting to know each other and laughing at our ridiculous characters, supporting each other and bonding. As a result, I have formed long-lasting friendships and am grateful to have been a part of this project. Playing deadpan, rebellious and laid back, newcomer “Cassie” was a lot of fun to play! I enjoyed the character’s lack of awareness to her inability to act” and “reactions from cast was magic. When Cherie directs Cassie to “be sexy” her reaction is a classic example of this. A lot of love among the cast, ridiculous situations, and unexpected twists!
Cherie Kerr (Cherie)
Cherie Kerr, a founding member of the world-famous L.A. Groundlings, and founder of the Orange County Crazies sketch and improvisational troupe in Santa Ana, California, released her first film in May of 2013, “We’ve Got Balls,” a family-friendly comedy. Kerr just wrapped her second indie film, a 90-minute improvised mockumentary titled “The Show Can’t Go On.” The film was recently submitted to film festivals for consideration in 2020.
“We’ve Got Balls” made its world debut at the 2013 Newport Beach International Film Festival. It went on to win 8 awards along the film festival circuit, including an Official Selection at the Action on Film and Movieville International Film Festivals, and the All Sports Los Angeles Film Festival. At AOF, Kerr took home awards for “Filmmaker of the Year,” “Best Comedy – Feature,” and “Outstanding Cast Performance.” The film also was first runner-up for the “WithoutABox.com Best In Show” award there. The film also won “Best Comedy” at the Movieville event in September 2013 and Balls won two additional awards “Audience Choice” and “Best Feature-Bronze” at the All Sports Los Angeles Film Festival in November 2013. During Indie Fest 2013, the film earned the “Award of Excellence” for a feature film and in 2014 the 47th WorldFest-Houston International Film & Video Festival racked up an eighth honor for the film, “Silver Remi” for best trailer.
Kerr has won numerous accolades and rave reviews for her work over the years as producer/writer/director and has now parlayed her expertise and creativity into the genre of film. Having produced a number of comedy shorts for the O.C. Crazies over the past 30 years, Kerr founded Ree-invent Films in 2011 for the purpose of furthering her career interests and expanding her efforts from comedy shorts to full-length feature films. Kerr, named one of the “Top Ten Most Sensational People in Orange County” by Orange Coast magazine, has also been highly lauded for her work as a comedy writer/director, having garnered “Best Sketch of the Year” from the Los Angeles Times for her quirky sketch, “Too Much Shoulder Pad.” She was honored in October 2019 by Arts OC and given the Helena Modjeska Cultural Legacy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Founder of three businesses, Kerr brings tremendous acumen and savvy to the table along with an abundance of her unique, enviable, and highly original sense of creativity. She is accustomed to mobilizing teams, utilizing the best resources, pumping out excellent products, and garnering results that translate into strong bottom lines.
Kerr is the mother of filmmaker Drake Doremus (“Like Crazy,” winner of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize), and since then he has gone on to make a number of other movies, including: “Breathe In;” “The Beauty Within;” “Equals;” “Zoe;” “Newness;” “Douchebag;” “Spooner;” “Moonpie;” and “Endings, Beginnings,.” He recently produced a documentary on the life of Anton Yelchin titled “Love, Antosha.” She taught and directed him on her stage at the De Pietro Performance Center in Santa Ana, Calif. as a member of the O.C. Crazies for 16 years before sending him off to the American Film Institute. Kerr was instrumental in guiding Doremus with many of his stage and film projects. She is the author of 12 books; “Charlie’s Notes” having been named a winner in the New York Book Festival. Two of her books include forewords by fellow Groundling alums and SNL players, Phil Hartman and Julia Sweeney. Over the years, Kerr has written more than 400 sketches, six screenplays, one full-length Broadway musical, and directed dozens of sketch and improv comedy shows. She also has starred in her own one-woman show, “Out of Her Mind.” In addition, she has won awards as a lyricist and journalist, and her long-standing public relations firm, KerrPR, has also won awards for its work over the past 42 years. She started ExecuProv in 1983, a company that teaches improv comedy techniques to Fortune 100 and 500 companies, which continues to thrive. Kerr is currently underway with her next film project, a full-length comedy feature, “Small Claims.” Kerr’s mission with Ree-invent Films is to provide full-length feature comedies that offer not only laughs, but moral/satirical messages that leave audiences thinking long after the laughter subsides.

Elizabeth Millan (Estella)
Hi I’m Elizabeth Millan, I was part of the first group of housewives in the film. My character Estella would sit-around with the other house-wives during rehearsals, she is impulsive and would easily get frustrated because of the screw-ups of the rest of the cast. I loved working with Cherie as well as the rest of the cast members, this is my first film and working on it was a fun experience. Filming was great, I loved everyone’s reactions to certain things we would say. To me, the most memorable moment of making the film was my monologue, I usually don’t swear nor talk behind’s people’s backs but for this particular scene, I did both and I loved it, I said things I never saw myself saying in front of a camera so I loved the chance of experiencing doing new things. I laughed a lot while watching the movie trailer, I loved the performances, everyone is super funny, I can’t wait to see the film.

It truly was amazing to watch everyone because the entire movie was improv. There was no script to memorize. This made us Actors feel truly free to create as the story unfolded. You just showed up ready and played off of everyone. It was awesome! I want to thank our Director Cherie for giving us this opportunity!”
