From 2000-2007 Brittany was the lead singer in an all original rock band touring mostly in the Midwest, and co-wrote many of the songs on the bands album "Surround" released in 2005 and produced by Karl Demer. In 2005 Brittany spent a short stint in Los Angeles but moved back to the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area to continue her career, appearing in several national and regional commercial spots, voice overs, and commercial print work, including online modeling work and national ads for a clothing boutique called Evereve. Having grown up in the Midwest (Green Bay, WI) Brittany felt connected to this part of the United States and decided to reside in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area to pursue her passion for the arts while simultaneously raising her children. Brittany has four children and is married to the former Director of Photography Nick Deutsch of Generation Mason (2005) and Pond Hockey (2008). In 2010 she played Jessica Williams in The Scientist (2010) a feature film starring along side actors Bill Sage, Adam LeFevre, and Jamie Elman and directed by Zach LeBeau. It was during this film she realized her true passion had developed in film and despite having been in many theatre productions throughout her life, Brittany has a continued and constantly renewed passion for on-camera acting and a true love of film. For years Brittany has been particularly fond of immersing herself into story driven independent film produced and created by talented and ambitious individuals with an honest connection to the art of film making and the type of team work it takes to create it. The truth and stories of so many people need to be told and Brittany dedicates her time, talent, expertise into every project believing there is truly nothing else she should be doing for a career. Her strong work ethic is key to her success. You can find more work and resume at her website.
