Mireille Urumuri

 

News and Testimonials

I have Directed two projects with Mireille (or Mimi as most of us call her) the second of which, she also associate produced. She goes out of her way to help in an Indy realm, and when asked for help, will have already made four phone calls to find that specific lamp Set Dec requires.  Mimi is definitely one of those filmmakers you want on your side. In a storytelling sense, Mimi is exciting, enthusiastic, and willing to get her hands dirty. This I love. Mimi was tireless and listens to direction very well, and is willing, if not plain eager, to play outside her type.

Mireille is professional, passionate, prepared and prompt. As a filmmaker I couldn't ask for anything more from undoubtedly one of my favorite Vancouver actors.  Mireille is always excited to rehearse, create and learn. A gem of an actor and a pleasure to work with.

During rehearsals, I often relied on Mireille to be a source of enthusiasm and focus, which she demonstrated consistently throughout the process. Again, her limitless flow of energy and positivism proved invaluable during the rougher patches. I suppose the key quality she displayed; that is to say the one that impressed me the most was her love of the work. I have no doubt her vigor will see her through to success.

Mireille's performance stood out among all the other actresses that came to the audition. I have never seen an actor prepare their roles as well as her. The amount of job that she did during rehearsals in preproduction, from research of the character background to analyzing the script was indeed impressing. She kept up her energy level no matter how long the day and how emotionally demanding the character was.

It has been my tremendous good pleasure to have taught Mireille for some months now and I am impressed with her level of comprehension, dedication and humanity. She handles her character work with compassion and inspiration and is an asset for the Vancouver Performing Community.

Mireille has an infectious energy and always goes after what she needs to fulfill her dream. She showed resourcefulness, tenacity, eagerness and aggressiveness that I believe will result in outstanding performances. I am confident she will succeed and do it with grace.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Mireille on our 2009 film “From the Inside Out”. She was highly professional, punctual, and enthusiastic. She brought a whole new dynamic energy to the part. I would highly recommend her as an up and coming talent.

I could easily wax lyrically about how sweet and friendly Mireille is but I won’t; anyone who’s ever met her has been sucked in by her beauty, lured by her accent and charmed by her sassy yet friendly personality. Instead I’d like to speak for her professional nature. From the first shoot we had with her, Mireille showed us that she meant business - she was punctual, eager and excited and continued to tirelessly bring her game. Mireille is both a pleasure and an asset to have on set.

Mimi was fantastic to work with; she was very down to earth and at ease behind the camera. A beautiful model who offered us such a wide range of expressions and poses. The photos turned out fantastic and nearly every take was a winner.
