“I have been very fortunate to have worked with Nekoda Garrett, both directing her in scenes during screen workshops, and preparing her for projects in individual sessions. She is so open to everything offered, and so versatile and talented in performance. During our work together, she has played a variety of parts – both modern and period. And the final recordings have all been excellent. She is truly delightful. I think Nekoda will shine brightly and go far. I look forward to seeing her fly. And to watching her on a screen near me.” – Mel Churcher
