A while back I had provided the update that I had been cast in an incredible new webseries, Sidetrack. The series follows 8 LGBT women and people living in Manhattan. I starred in the series as Allie Adams, a succesful lesbian Youtube blogger who creates videos with her partner Jo. As the series unfolds it’s revealed that though these two have the perfect on camera romance, their actual lives are much different from what they appear to be.
I filmed for 6 weekends over the summer and the series premiered in November on Youtube. I was billed as a series regular and appeared in 6 out of 10 episodes in season 1.

The following are specifically the episodes I appeared in:
Season 1, Episode 2.
Season 1, Episode 3.
Season 1, Episode 5.
Season 1, Episode 7.
Season 1, Episode 9.
Season 1, Episode 10.
The show was reviewed positively by several news outlets.
AV Club :
“The series is an enjoyable romp, offering plenty of laughs and relatable moments seen through the lens of the lesbian experience. There is a smartly observed naturalism to the writing, full of wry humor and a few winking asides to its forebearer, Showtime’s seminal The L Word. The direction hews closer to the artistic single-camera cinematography of shows like FX’s Louie.”
“While the show is set up with character-themed episodes, the cast’s lives intersect often, which is pretty much on point for any group of queer folks in the same city. A little bit gritty, funny, and most definitely addictive, Sidetrack makes a great addition to the growing world of queer-centric web series.”
Mic.Com :
“This new series follows the lives of queer women in New York City. Each episode tells one woman’s story, exploring her unique experience in relation to the other characters. Released on Nov. 17, it’s already gaining traction with its nuanced portrayal of being queer in New York amid the general turmoil of being in your 20s.”
So what are you waiting for and go binge it 🙂
