(Lovey)


FISHBOWL marks Mie Omori’s film debut. Born and raised in Honolulu, the high school student enjoys English and Biology. “I’m not as good at Bio as I am English but I still really love both subjects. History is pretty wonderful, too,” says Mie. She hopes to attend college on the East Coast or “somewhere where it snows.” Her experience on FISHBOWL was life changing. “It was really interesting to play Lovey, because we’re so different,” she said. “[Lovey is] extremely introverted while I find it fun to sometimes make a fool of myself and laugh. I had such an amazing time with the cast and crew…. check out Billy’s groovy dance moves!"
