Writer, director, actor Angela Froese has self-produced three short films. Her first film, NEXT! was the winner of the ACTRA Toronto 24 Hour Co-op Challenge and premiered at the 2015 ACTRA Toronto Conference, subsequently screening at Toronto’s Sudden Impulse Film Festival. Subsequent shorts, Tit For Tat and Prayer Break were created as part of the Winnipeg Film Group’s One Take Super 8 Events, and were screened at the WNDX Festival. Angela has co-written and co-produced two ACTRA co-op films, Winner/Gagnon, and Manholephobia (which was loosely based on her own humorous life experiences with manholes). Manholephobia was chosen as one of the two 24 Hour Co-op Challenge winners at the 2012 ACTRA conference.
In addition to writing her own stand-up comedy material – Angela has performed at Yuk Yuks, Absolute Comedy, The Comedy Bar, and the West End Girls – she is a proud member of ACTRA and CAEA, holds degrees in both theatre (University of Winnipeg) and psychology (University of Manitoba), and is a member of MENSA. Angela also works as a script supervisor, and writes phycological reports.
A recipient of the 2018 WIDC Short Works Award, presented in collaboration with the Winnipeg Film Group, Angela was selected from among three finalists to produce her original short film comedy A Round Tuit.
