Gregory
Pollonais’ star continues to rise as his work continues to receive
international exposure. The talent of the Trinidad-based actor and
producer was on full display in the new film 'An Appointment with
Janey' which was selected to be screened at the recent 2019 edition
of Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas.

An Appointment with Janey
which is best described as a science fiction short film with a big
surprise ending made its US premiere at Comicpalooza (a large,
multi-genre, comic book, science fiction, anime, gaming, and pop
culture convention held annually in Houston, Texas).

The film which was shot on
in Trinidad and written, produced and directed by Nick Attin
surrounds an informal therapy session between a young married woman,
Janey and her therapist, Dr. Brian Moreau. As their discussions
involving her marital problems progress, all is revealed as to who
she really is and where exactly they are both located.

Pollonais, who serves as
the film’s co-star and co-producer, got bitten by the acting bug at
a young age and has been professionally involved in the film industry
for a decade.

He plays the role of ‘Dr.
Barry Michaelson’, a close colleague of Dr. Moreau who joins the
therapy session with patient Janey to conduct a very special analysis
of her brain (a unique mental examination).

Joining Gregory in ‘An
Appointment with Janey' is a cast of other home-grown Trinbagonian
thespians which include Kearn Samuel, Jalene Goodwin and Verena
Siblal.

Though not a stranger to
the film festival circuit, having had feature roles in several
independent films which have premiered and been screened at
international film festivals in T&T, Barbados and even Cannes,
Gregory feels humbled and truly grateful to have his work presented
at Comicpalooza.

He shared, “It's a great
feeling to be selected by Comicpalooza as they have a huge following
in Houston and the Southern US and it's a great platform to showcase
our work to the wider film industries such as Hollywood.”

In addition to being
fluent in both English and Spanish, Gregory is also a gifted
musician, skilled IT professional and a podcast host.

With several projects in
various stages of development, he aims to utilize all his talents as
he persists in his ascension to the ranks of his film idols which
include Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tim
Burton.

As the film’s team
patiently awaits positive selection results from submissions to other
film festivals, Gregory remains steadfast in his dedication to his
craft of acting while increasing his involvement in the producing and
screenwriting side of filmmaking.
