Georja Umano creates the role of a Santeria witch on the Corona Re-Enactment episode in FOX TV's "America's Most Wanted" airing Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 9pm Eastern and Western, 8pm Central.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) October 02, 2010 - In preparation for the role, Georja spent time with a real Santeria witch and learned secrets of the ancient Afro-Caribbean religion and its powerful rituals. The influence of this witch was such that the now fugitive from justice, Jose Corona, was helped and empowered to brutally murder his wife and mother of his five children.
In another character of influence, Georja portrays the title role of the romantic action comedy "The Godmother" as a gangster mother who convinces her daughter to try to murder her husband. The film will be screened at the Anaheim International Film Festival October 15 at 7 pm. "The Godmother" has won many prestigious festival awards this year including Best Short in the Soho International Film Festival, Audience Award at the First Look Festival, and Best Student Film at Method Fest. It will also be viewed in Japan at the Sapporo Short Festival during the month of October.
In September Georja was seen at a Film Independent screening playing the title role in the dramatic short, "Madame Tanya," as part of Project Involve. It's a sweet story of a psychic healer who can't heal herself.
