Cover Letter

Dear Casting Directors, Filmmakers, and Industry Professionals,

​

My name is Desteny Tolbert, and I am an actress dedicated to bringing compelling stories to life through authentic and emotionally resonant performances. With a background in theatre and film, I strive to connect with audiences by fully immersing myself in each character’s journey. Whether portraying a lead role in a psychological thriller, lending my voice to a dynamic project, or supporting a production behind the scenes, I bring passion, professionalism, and adaptability to every set.

​

My recent work includes lead and supporting roles in projects such as Two Minutes to Midnight, a psychological thriller directed by Balazs Hatvani, Twenty, a moving drama about resilience in the face of terminal illness, and After Hours, a dystopian film exploring the consequences of a world without technology. I am always eager to take on roles that challenge me artistically and push the boundaries of storytelling.

​

Beyond my on-screen experience, I have also worked as a background actor, stand-in, and on-set crew, gaining a well-rounded perspective of the filmmaking process. This hands-on experience has deepened my appreciation for the collaborative nature of the industry and allows me to bring a greater understanding of set dynamics to my performances.

​

I am excited to continue building meaningful connections within the industry and to contribute my skills to future projects. Thank you for taking the time to view my work. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and bring compelling characters to life.

​

Best regards,
Desteny Tolbert
