Casa Playa Restaurant

So lovely to be featured in @VoyageLA talking about Casa Playa and my new film @GoodSideofBad. Thank you to my amazing husband Shawn Dufraine and co-owner of @casaplaya and to Jules Bruff my producing and writing partner on Good Side of Bad. Thanks to @UteReckhorn for the family photo for the @facesofsouthbay project and to Jules Bruff, @alywhitman and Samuel Emerson Morgan for your set photos and making me cool. Thank you to Mark David for being my amazing DP, Lorna Larkin for making each set look amazing, Susan Chan for costume designing on zoom, and all my crew from Casa Playa and my film crew from Spokane to LA.

Casa Playa stands with Black Lives Matter, and all who are fighting to end the murders of innocent black men, women, and children at the hands of those who have taken a vow to protect and serve. We are in solidarity with those demanding justice, and fighting to end systemic racism. Casa Playa stands against racism, we stand side by side with our black community, we celebrate diversity, we are united. Ubuntu - "I am because we are, We are because I am."

Owner, Shawn Dufraine, safely taking an order behind our new plexiglass shield. Our friends and next door neighbors made it for us last night. The staff loves it and more importantly our customers love it.
