Ep. 53 - Aisha Evelyna & Dani Pagliarello
In today’s episode, Amanda drinks some red wine with actors, writers, directors Aisha Evelyna and Dani Pagliarello to discuss creative inspiration, which fellow Astro sign celebs they’d invite to dinner, and new series The Drop! The Drop is about the accidental friendship sparked by the hustle of professional line-waiting between diabetic American escapee, Zara, and Canadian wannabe influencer, Polly. With Zara working illegally and Polly showing her the ropes, the pair are rising in the ranks as Toronto's premier line-waiting duo who stand in line for exclusive luxury product drops, ranging from limited edition Jordans, the latest tech gadgets, and even…”Bottled Air, Trademark.” You can watch all the episodes on Narcity’s YouTube channel. Aisha and Dani are both actors, writers, and directors currently based out of Toronto. They also happen to be the co-creators and stars of Narcity’s first scripted series The Drop, where the hustle of professional line-waiting sparks the accidental friendship of diabetic American escapee, Zara (played by Dani), and Canadian wannabe influencer, Polly (played by Aisha), working their way up in Toronto’s premier line-waiting scene. In her work, Aisha is passionate about bringing stories of the underrepresented to the forefront of our social consciousness. Aisha was a participant of the 2022 Canadian Academy’s Writers Program where she developed the limited series SALLY with Warner Brothers Canada. Her short film ALEX, which she wrote, directed, and starred in, premiered at Holly Shorts and was an Official Selection at the Austin Film Festival. In addition to The Drop, you can see Aisha acting on-screen in Rabbit Hole on Paramount+ and Slo Pitch on OutTV. Dani is a recipient of the Independent Production Fund’s development and packaging program this year for her new series Trauma Bonding, a comedy about a psychiatrist who, after losing her practice, continues to treat patients… from her car. Dani’s showrunning is reflective of the work she loves to see on screen - women directing high-quality comedy. You can see her performing in various TV shows and feature films, including The Handmaid’s Tale and Luckiest Girl Alive on Netflix. Looking for more of The Liquid Courage Podcast?
