Heroes
Mom and Dad. My beloved pooch Crank who showed me what the true nature of love 'unconditional and ever so forgiving'. My brothers for never giving up. Ghandi. His holiness the Dalai Lama. Jesus was certainly a bad ass in his day. Snoopy showed me how to throw down as a child and not take shit from anyone. Winney the Pooh makes me strive to just follow my nose. Martin Luther King sure had a nice dream. I'm trying to free slaves in my own way like Lincoln. Madonna on some level. Kyabje Gehlek Rimpoche as his compassion and kind loving soothing presence. My grade school teacher Mrs. Rue for believing I had talent as a singer. Tod Erickson for teaching me how to weld. Anyone who doesn't buy into negative strains of thought. . .
"I'm following my heart on a journey to explore the art of acting and to work with people who want to tell stories that are both relevant and entertaining. I want to give the audience something to be inspired by and to leave them with a sense of hope.” Mare Costello
I opened a fortune cookie on New Years Eve of 2007 and it read "You are headed in the right direction. Trust your instincts." I was on my way to Hollywood when I got that.
I made a decision to change careers 4 years ago to pursue acting and here I am a leading lady because I listened to my heart that was shouting. Please enjoy my pics & the blogs that chronicle this journey into a dream being fulfilled. The best is yet to come. 009+mare=the big time.
Mare Costello currently has 7 short films under her belt. Go to her new productions page MCProductions(top friend). "Truth Soup" won the BEST EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILM in the "Saginaw Riverside Film Festival" this past August. She is currently back in Michigan taking advantage of the new opportunities including work on HER FIRST FEATURE LENGTH COMEDIC FILM. This film is entitled "The Syriana Tate Interview" which she and collaborator Ric Rosario will be starring in.
