Perception Wins Best International Film at Brightside Tavern Shorts Film Festival Linda Collins Co-Stars in this Story of Immigration to the USA From Two Conflicting Points of View

Actor/Producer Linda Collins accepted the “Best International Film” award at the Brightside Tavern Shorts Film Festival for the film “Perception”; which was also a Finalist for “Best Concept”. Written and directed by Andres Irias, the movie tells the story of immigration from two points of view; a Honduran mother who is pressured to migrate, and an American teen from a white supremacist family who is taught to hate immigrants. Linda plays Lauren, the Mother/Wife in the American family, and this portrayal also recently garnered her an award for Best Supporting Actress at the Omaha Latino Film Festival. Ms. Collins was also one of the Executive Producers on the project; which filmed in Miami in late 2018.

Linda can be seen in other upcoming productions including a principal role in 21st Century Vision Films crime thriller “The Stable” - playing a gritty nightclub owner/head of a human-trafficking ring.

Additionally, she recently appeared in films such as “In My Eyes”, about a young man with Cerebral Palsy going to college and the anxiety that he carries with him (an Official Selection at LIIFE), “Three for the Road”, a comedy about three independent, intelligent women from completely different backgrounds who come together seeking spiritual enlightenment (directed by David Patrick Wilson, an Official Selection and Finalist as Best TV Episode in the Portland Comedy Film Festival) and Horror film by Director Terry Wickham, “Gruesome Threesome”; where a young couple have a fun online video chat while watching an anthology horror film. What begins as innocent entertainment leads to a horrific conclusion. Collins has worked with Wickham before; on “Double Vision”, about a couple who once dated and reconnect after a decade apart whose bliss is shattered by pure terror. At the same time, two women who are business partners have been having issues professionally, which leads to an unimaginable terrifying outcome. The latter three films also screened at the Hells Kitchen NYC Film Festival.
