Just practicing my horror acting. 😜 Happy Halloween! 👻💀🎃 It's become a tradition to do a new cosplay video on Halloween and this year, I wanted to get young Lara out again. Don't know how long I'll be able to pull her off 😂 #laracroft #tombraider #laracroftcosplay #tombraidercosplay

Hi everyone. I have some bad news to share.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the Derby Tomb Raider event this year. We discovered that it's the same date as my Grandma's 80th birthday lunch.
Devastated that I can't be there but it's just one of those things.
See you all next year xxx

Mood! After a stressful few weeks with setbacks that left me feeling discouraged, I'm just feeling super grateful. Looking to the future & feeling excited. ❤️Photo taken by @nicolettemckeown.bsky.social on set of #athena2pathtoeden last July. Me in my element, making movie magic with awesome people!

Haven't shared here. This was from a couple of years ago when I was testing out potential fight choreography for my next film "The Oracle". I have since found the second Escrima stick that was missing. haha #barbaragordon #batman #batgirl #shortfilm #diversity #representationmatters #disabledactress

Some stills from my first #shortfilm "Athena" which I wrote, directed, produced and edited. Shot in 2018 and released on YouTube in 2019. The film was inspired by the world of #TombRaider and aimed to change perceptions of how the disabled community is portrayed, both on and off screen. #indiefilm

Secret found! From Lara's notes: "Mary Magdalene's followers? One of them appears to be carrying something. Could it be the same object depicted in the painting of Mary on her deathbed?"

#throwbackthursday Ready to kick some zombie butt in a shoot I did in 2023 inspired by #laracroft in #thewalkingdeadsurvivors mobile game. Zombies aren't my thing but I loved her outfit & I had to recreate it! I think Lara would hold up well in the apocalypse... #laracroftcosplay #tombraidercosplay

Secret #2! From Lara's notes: "Mary Magdalene on her deathbed, surrounded by her loyal followers as angels come to guide her soul to Heaven. What is that object above her? Whatever it is, it appears significant and it's connected to Mary Magdalene. I think I'm on the right track." #athena2pathtoeden
