    It Pays to Have Connections

    Lol, this is forgettable. Just goes to show all you really need in the Canadian Film market is connections--not skill. Upon reading reviews of the DVD it turns out Jovanka even added her final Make up shot from a now defunct fly by night makeup school.

    She'll do fine, pumping out generic trivial background noise for Studios like Blumhouse. The Mac n Cheese at the Chinese Buffet. It will sit there to stream...in the background while you do your housekeeping, the dishes or just flipping through TikTok like a typical GenX Canadian.

    Definitely pays to work those connections though. This is proof.
