Mindy Robinson Spotlight

Written By: Keith Makenas

“She’s talented, beautiful and a leader on set. A true soldier!”
Joe Hollow Director, A BLOOD STORY

Truly an exquisite actress, Mindy Robinson has appeared in over a hundred fifty films and TV series.  She’ll make you laugh in comedies, frighten you in horror films, thrill you kicking ass in action films, and charms audiences with her attractiveness.

“She is a director’s dream”
Andre Gordon Director, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT

Robinson quickly became highly desired by directors for always being prepared knowing her lines, showing up promptly on set, and her presence on set is a joy to everyone.  Plus, if time allows, she’ll spend extra time on set to observe and assist the director and other cast members.

“Mindy was an extremely hard worker, who loves being on set”
Ross Patterson, RANGE 15

Robinson didn’t dream of being an actress when growing up, instead her focus was on education.  From kindergarten through college, she received numerous academic awards.   When she got into acting, she did so simply because she loves acting.  Knowing it’s a tough business to break into, her plan was to act in as many roles as possible no matter how large or small in hopes of it leading to more work.  During that time she was constantly on the go traveling from set to set.

Over the years she established herself as a reliable “go to” actress.  In recent years she had landed many lead roles and yet still welcomes roles of all levels.  When she isn’t acting, she’s heavy into doing charity work.  If you keep up with her social sites, you will see her on a Harley doing charity rides with her boyfriend and UFC legend Randy Couture.

 

Currently Robinson has dozens of films in some status of production.  Here are just a few that she stars in:

RANGE 15
After a night of debauchery, five military buddies wake up in the drunk tank only to find out that while they were passed out in their cell, the zombie apocalypse kicked off. Armed only with billy clubs and their military experience, they break out of prison and fight their way to their old base. Along the way, they pick up a whole lot of weapons, a couple of damsels in distress, and, accidentally, the cure.

Getting to the base, however, is only the beginning of their nightmare. Once there, their old boss, Colonel Holloway, informs them that the only place that can synthesize the cure is Range 15, an isolated facility some 300 miles away, through zombie-infested desert. And to make matters worse, the zombies are getting faster with each hour, and Colonel Holloway is sending narcissistic super soldier Gene Vandenham to lead the mission.

They woke up that morning fighting hangovers. Now the fate of the world hangs over their ability to fight.www.range15.com

RANGE 15 was created by the veterans at Ranger Up and Article 15. Ranger Up makes shirts for the military and the patriotic Americans who love the men and women of the Armed Forces. The guys that own this company either were or are still in the militaryrangerup.com.  Article 15 Clothing’s branding hopes to bring together the community and show how we support our constitutional rights and the brave souls who protect them.article15clothing.com

Former Ranger Captain Nick Palmisciano runs Ranger Up with former Green Beret and MMA fighter Tim Kennedy.  Palmisciano wrote RANGER 15 and joined forces with Mat Best and the Article 15 guys to make a full feature film.   After a year and half of endless rewrites the group talked with Director Ross Patterson to direct their film.   Robinson stars as Eliza in RANGE 15 and gave it her all on this for veterans by veterans film.  “Mindy was an extremely hard worker, who loves being on set,” tells Patterson.  “There were days where she’d often stay even after her scenes were finished shooting.”

After evidence of a beheading is exposed, others begin to fear that the insurgents attack on hometown USA. Questions and tempers begin to rise.

YOU CAN’T HAVE IT
When Bill Sullivan spends the last night of Mr. Phil’s Bar hanging out with his friends, drinking, sex and murder ensue. Last call takes on a whole new meaning.

Director, Actor, Producer Andre Gordon has directed many successful shorts and his feature film credentials are quickly growing.  Gordon had nothing but praise working with Robison on YOU CAN’T HAVE IT, “Mindy is a dream to work with. She is passionate about telling the story given to her. She creates a character that is fleshed out from top to bottom. She is full of depth and life.  She is a director’s dream,” shared Gordon.

 

A BLOOD STORY
A BLOOD STORY is a dark and twisted Blood drenched love story of sorts that starts with three strangers who meet on their journey to find the truth of an age old legend seeking the fountain of youth but uncovering much more. The evil that follows is delved in the deepest of bloody historical secrets
Filmmaker Joe Hollow is not just aDirector, he’s a musician and a painter.   He thrives on originality and creativity which make his horror films turn into pure art.  He talks about working with Robison on his recent film A BLOOD STORY.

“I enjoyed my time working with Mindy on “A BLOOD STORY,” tells Hollow. “It was a rough schedule and she had a lead role alongside an outstanding talent in veteran Camden Toy that came with a whole lot of dialogue. Ms. Robinson and I first met only after she arrived on set. And I am thankful to say she was everything we needed and more. Her preparation was solid and it helped us meet a super tight 10 day shooting schedule. She’s talented, beautiful and a leader on set. A true soldier! Proud to say we kicked some ass!”

 

THE BET
A down on his luck man gets into an absurd but high stakes bet where he has one summer to find, and hook up with, every girl he had a crush on from 1st to 12th grade.
THE BET was directed by Ryan Ederer and written by Chris Jay and Aaron Goldberg.  Jay and Goldberg are members of the rock band, Army of Freshmen and the film features several original songs by their band.   When Jay and Goldberg wrote the script they were inspired by their own experience in searching out and meeting girls that they once had crushes on in school. THE BET is a hilarious sexy comedy that’s available on DVD and VOD. Visit the office Facebook page for more information facebook.TheBetMovie2016

Writer and Producer Chris Jay was blown away by Robinson’s acting skills and personality as he shares,  “Working with Mindy on The Bet was pleasure because frankly the stereotypical LA based blonde bombshell type actresses are usually just a nightmare. From not being to contact them directly, to their agents pricing them way too high, to being demanding on set and then having them disappear and not help promote the film once it’s out… well with Mindy it was the exact opposite. I literally saw her in another movie, thought she had the look we wanted for a certain character, looked her up online, sent her an email directly, we spoke on the phone about the film and she worked with us on her rate since we were a micro budget. She was upbeat and positive on set and even though the film took a while to come out, as is often the case with micro budget films, Mindy was totally promoting and supportive of the film when it was released.”

Jay appreciates Robinson’s excellent work habits and attitude as an actress, “More actresses should take her philosophy and stay busy and work instead of waiting around for some massive role or payday that never comes. Work leads to more work and she’s a shining example of that.”

 

ADAM K
A gory take on the tale of nature versus nurture that proves – evil wears a smile! Mild-mannered and seemingly good-natured auto insurance claims manager Adam K. sets out daily to make friends, however ends up with mutilated victims when his invitations for friendships are rejected.

Joston Theney has nearly a dozen films he Produced, Written, and Directed.  He has emerged as a top director especially in the horror genre.  One of his recent films ADAM K, he had the pleasure of working with Robison.  “My first time working with Mindy was on ADAM K and it was a total blast!” says Theney.“Mindy plays the role of Detective Carli Mansfield, the daughter of a highly-decorated officer, who has been recently promoted to detective and looking to cut her teeth on a homicide case.  It called for qualities that most don’t consider Mindy to possess – someone low-key, could be easily overlooked and struggling for attention and an opportunity to advance in the area of law enforcement.  But I’d seen her work and trusted that she had the goods to deliver and she did.  I can’t wait to work with her again!”

ADAM K was recently picked up for distribution and more information will be available soon.  To keep updated visit the official Facebook page facebook/AdamKTheMovie .
