Marie Wilde, born in Natchitoches, Louisiana, was recently nominated for Best Actress at the LA Under the Stars Film Festival for her compelling performance in the short narrative film “Take Your Mark.” The film is written and directed by Kelsey Barry, known for her work on “My Life With the Walter Boys.” “Take Your Mark” has received three nominations, including Best Actress for Wilde, Wonder Woman for Barry, and Best Narrative.
Wilde’s journey from her birthplace in Louisiana to the bright lights of Hollywood began when she moved to Los Angeles at a young age. It was in California where she was scouted during a touring show, launching her career in the entertainment industry.
“My roots have impacted how I go about storytelling,” said Wilde. “That connection to Louisiana has always been a part of my identity. It’s given me a unique perspective that I bring to every role, blending my early Louisiana origins with my experiences in Los Angeles.”
Known for her versatility and ability to seamlessly transition between drama and comedy, Wilde has taken on a range of leading and supporting roles across various genres. Her dedication to her craft and growing repertoire have earned her support and praise from audiences.
“Take Your Mark” marks a significant milestone in Wilde’s career, coming after a year-long hiatus during which she learned to swim – a skill crucial for her role in the film. The project, led by women and people of color, aligns with Wilde’s commitment to diverse and impactful storytelling.
“I’m honored to be nominated for this role,” Wilde added. “This project was especially meaningful to me, not only for the personal growth it required but also for the opportunity to showcase the unique perspective I’ve developed from my Louisiana roots to my life in Los Angeles.”
The LA Under the Stars Film Festival will take place on August 22 at El Cid on Sunset in Los Angeles. “Take Your Mark” is poised to make a strong showing with its three nominations.
