"Giovannie is one of the most giving and prepared actresses I've worked with. Always focused on character, she brought a wealth of collaboration to my experience with her on American Yearbook. Her dedication to her craft actually brought the caliber of acting even higher on my set, as she set the bar for the other actors by her emotional commitment. I'm looking forward to casting her again... She's the 'it' in 'The Shit' "
Brian Ging, director AMERICAN YEARBOOK / NEW LEGEND PROCUCTIONS
"
Working on a tight deadline, rushing around getting everything in order and ultimately it was Gio that made it all work. Her ability to stay focused on the project, no matter what changes were thrown at her - combined with the way she kept the spirits of the cast and crew up and ready to go, made her an essential part of the process. A joy to work with and I can't wait to do it again."
Sinohui Hinojosa, producer SOLITUDE / EMERGING ARTIST PRODUCTIONS
"Gio is so talented and dynamic and professional - I love working with her. My plan is to try and put her in everything I do from now on."
Jose Montesinos, director HELLS KITTENS / MONTANICK PICTURES
"Giovannie completely blew me away! There were several moments I actually found myself watching the monitor and
forgetting that I was directing a film; I had to remind myself to say CUT. Giovannie came to the
set completely prepared. With little direction on my part, she instinctively knew how the emotions should play out with each and every scene. By the end of day one, Giovannie had given several emotionally wrenching performances, one after another...what Giovannie does is not easy at all. She simply makes it look easy with her constant professionalism and her unflappable attention to detail.
Real talent is a very rare and magical thing; I can assure you, now, from my own experience, that catching lightning in a bottle truly is possible... it's name is Giovannie Espiritu. "."
Scott Howe, director KINDRED / SILVER LINED ENTERTAINMENT
"Giovannie is an amazing talent and was able to animate her character and emote in ways beyond my direction to her. Often times I had to sit back in amazement at the performance she had given because it was above and beyond my expectations! The role Giovannie played in my film had her running around half the time in a heavy, dusty, hot, full-body monster costume and yet she was able to give her character so much life and personality. I couldn't believe she was able to reach the audience through pounds and pounds of mop heads and fabric! But she did. On set, Giovannie is such a pleasant and warm spirit. Her positive attitude made her a joy to direct, especially considering what we put her through with that uncomfortable costume. I am unbelievably blessed to have had her in my film."
Yasmeen Gomez, director SELF ABSORBED / SUBJECT TO CHANGE PRODUCTIONS
�Giovannie is a great actress who comes to each project with a fantastic attitude. She is a pleasure to have around and work with. I would definitely work with her again in the future.�
Vicente de a Vega II, director WHO'S JOSEPH / CATHARTIC FILMS
"Giovannie is a talented actress blessed with a rare combination of energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism. Undeniably gifted and attractive to distraction, her dedication and cheerful disposition are guaranteed to lift the spirits on any set. Nor are her contributions limited to acting. I�ve seen her hold a boom, help with lighting, or do anything else that needed to get done to finish the shoot. In short, Giovannie is a delight in front of the lens, a riot behind the scenes, and a major asset to any production."
Jeff Yin, director TOUCH / HAPHAZARD FILMS
"From a cinematographer's stand point, Giovannie was easy to work with. Some actors can be impatient when it comes to perfecting an image, and not all productions these days have stand-ins. So if you have the chance to work with her, you will find a humorous and talented professional!"
Nicholas Finn Myggen, director of photography
