Trish Rainone, a dynamic and multifaceted creative force, has established herself as a talented and accomplished screenwriter, director, digital content producer, and actress, effortlessly navigating the various facets of the entertainment industry with ease and aplomb.
Born in the picturesque city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, Trish grew up as the middle child in a family comprised entirely of girls, where she was lovingly raised by her devoted mother, who played a significant role in shaping her early years.
As a teenager, Trish's innate creativity and passion for writing began to surface, as she would often indulge in writing short stories, poems, and songs during science and history class, thus laying the foundation for her future endeavors as a creative professional.
From a remarkably young age of nine, Trish first ventured into the world of acting by making appearances on a national television series, a experience that would ultimately have a profound impact on her future endeavors. However, this early foray into the spotlight had an unexpected consequence, as it instilled within her a deep-seated fear of performing on camera and stage. This trepidation proved to be a significant deterrent, causing Trish to shy away from the world of acting for an extended period of time, instead redirecting her focus towards her passion for writing.
Trish's writing career experienced a significant surge in momentum with the creation of her inaugural short film, 'Constance', a modestly budgeted production that was remarkably brought to life in the very setting of her own basement.
Katie Uhlmann and she collaborated to co-create a comedy series titled 'My Roommate's an Escort', which also benefited from the guidance of David Carruthers as an executive producer, allowing her to demonstrate her impressive range and skill as a creative force.
This comedy series, whose inaugural season garnered widespread acclaim, went on to win a multitude of prestigious awards, including the coveted Best Comedy honor at the Miami Web Festival, the Best New Media accolade at the Kapow Film Festival in Los Angeles, and, in 2017, both the Director's Choice Best Series Award and the Audience Choice Award at the Austin Revolution Film Festival.
Noteworthy details surrounding the production of season two of the television series 'My Roommate's an Escort' include the fact that filming took place in the hometown of the show's lead actress, Trish, specifically in Sault Ste. Marie, a city located in the province of Ontario, Canada.
The production team for season two consisted of an expanded roster of personnel, with the addition of producer Rebeka Herron, who brought her expertise and creative vision to the project. Furthermore, the production of season two received valuable support from several organizations, including the Canada Media Fund and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation.
The second season of 'My Roommate's an Escort' is slated for release in the winter of 2019, and promises to feature a diverse and talented ensemble of Canadian performers, all members of the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA).
Trish and Rebeka Herron have successfully founded a production company, aptly named '180 Sisterhood Productions', which is currently working on a diverse range of projects, including multiple series, concept-based short films, and feature-length movies at various stages of development.
In 2018 and 2019, Trish garnered numerous nominations for Best Lead Actress for her outstanding performance in the film 'One Night Stand', which was released through WKZ Media. This critically acclaimed film went on to receive widespread recognition at various film festivals around the world.
Notably, 'One Night Stand' earned the prestigious 'CTV: Best in Shorts: 2nd place' award at the esteemed Cinefest film festival held in Sudbury, Ontario, in the fall of 2019.
Trish, a multifaceted creative individual, dedicates herself to the art of screenwriting, yet simultaneously nurtures her passion for acting, showcasing her versatility in various on-screen projects.
In the realm of film, she has made notable appearances in "The Void", a thought-provoking thriller, and "V-Wars", a suspenseful drama. Furthermore, she has had the opportunity to work on the popular television series "My Roommate's an Escort", gracing the screen for two seasons. Additionally, she has starred in the romantic comedy "One Night Stand", bringing her acting talents to the forefront.
Beyond the realm of television and film, Trish has also lent her talents to the world of advertising, featuring in commercials for renowned brands such as "Budweiser" and "Canada Protection Plan", showcasing her ability to adapt to diverse roles and mediums.
Through her extensive experience in both writing and acting, Trish has established herself as a talented and multifaceted individual, capable of bringing her creative vision to life in a wide range of contexts.
Trish collaborated with Tyler Daley Blake Smith to co-author a poignant and introspective feature film script, 'Not All Who Wander Are Lost', between 2018 and 2019.
Noteworthy is the forthcoming directorial debut of Trish, entitled 'Milk', which is slated to make its cinematic release in the early months of 2020. Moreover, the short film is poised to be expanded into a feature-length production in the same year.
