KARI NISSENA THE ACTRESS

I first met Kari at one of her coaching seminars and immediately realized I needed what the "Hollywood Coach" had to offer. Her enthusiasm and undeniable depth of  knowledge about the BIZ in LA is immeasurable. If you have just moved to LA like I had when we met, or need help getting motivated, or want new strategies, Kari's your woman! My time spent with her is the best investment I've made in my career for years! Her courage and ambition is palpable and you can't help but be affected by it. Oh... most importantly... she is kind and caring and wants you to reach your highest potential and that to me, is the company I want to keep!

Kari Nissena........as Tammy Young in "Callous" gave us a powerhouse performance, she hit every note and then some...she is mesmorizing and at times downright scary... you can't take your eyes off of her..........We were blessed to have her in our film." !!!!!!!

She transformed so beautifully into different characters, I cast her in two different roles in the same film - something I had never done before! She will be cast in all my future projects.

Compelling performances trigger the full array of emotions. CALLOUS is a character driven story with a surprisingly dynamic cast. KARI NISSENA as Tammy Young won't let you forget her. EVER.

Review

The cast provides superb acting from Lanai and Kari Nissena in lead roles demonstrating the raw emotion necessary to the movie's storyline.
.. his mother's character, played viciously by Actress Kari Nissena, is spot-on
