Award-Winning Actress Nia Fairweather Produces and Stars in 'OORDEEL'

NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Actress, Nia Fairweather, produces and stars in the film OORDEEL, following the award winning film The Roe Effect, and garners over 250,000 web views within days of the film's release and continues to be shared, posted and commented throughout various sites.OORDEEL is Nia's first venture as a writer and producer.

Nia, who is quickly being labeled as a "powerhouse" by critics said, "I'm thrilled by the response. Writing and producing OORDEEL is one of the greatest gifts I could've given myself. I love my craft of telling stories, and I have so much more that I want to share and explore on film and stage. So rather than waiting for the opportunity to find me, I decided to create it."

In OORDEEL, Nia disappears into the shoes of Vanessa, a young lady who lives on the streets of New York City. As you watch the documentary styled short film, the lines of fiction and reality blur. Nia invites you in with innocent laden eyes then quickly cuts you as she takes you on Vanessa's journey. The range of emotions she displays leaves you speechless and yearning for more.

The flood of responses that Nia has received from OORDEEL, not only for her performance but for her writing as well, has secured producers for additional shorts in the series and she is currently in talks to produce OORDEEL as a feature length film.

Nia Fairweather is best known for her riveting performance as the lead, Dawn, in The Roe Effect, which has taken the top prize at several festivals as well as had it's international premiere at the 2010 Festival de Cannes and television run on HBO.
