We are so excited to share this post from Flash Frame Film & Video Network! 🎬

Did you know? Elizabeth Smellie was born in Port Arthur, Ontario (now Thunder Bay). She was a notable Canadian nurse and educator who served as Chief Superintendent of the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) from 1924 to 1947. During the Second World War, she also served in the Canadian Military and became the first woman in the Canadian Army to achieve the rank of Colonel.

In the upcoming film Bluebird, her life and experiences—particularly after returning from the battlefields—will be brought to the screen.
Flash Frame is currently seeking female actors for lead roles. To learn more, visit the link or email shebafilmsstudios@gmail.com to request a Bluebird audition/casting submission form.
