Dominique is an actor, writer, director and producer based in New York. Her work explores people under pressure to say, act, feel a certain way — and what happens when they don’t. She gives voice to real, complicated people struggling to do their best at life.
SMALL TIME with Audrey Grace Marshall
Latest acting work:
Dominique plays a pivotal role in James Repici’s new film Somewhere Between Expectation and Reality. The cast includes Richard Edson (Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise). Repici previously directed the film adaptation of George Saunders’ short story Exhortation from the NY Times Best Seller Tenth of December.
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EXPECTATION AND REALITY
The feature film Small Time is now streaming on Amazon Prime and iTunes. Dominique plays a heroin addict trying to do right by her daughter (Audrey Grace Marshall, The Fairly Oddparents, The Flight Attendant). Written and directed by Niav Conty. Executive produced by Emmy-winner and Oscar-nominee Oren Moverman.
In a variety of mediums, Dominique challenges assumptions about gender, sexuality, and all the ways we are supposed to be. To further this exploration, she founded the production company AND/OR PICTURES. It has produced award-winning narrative short films and a documentary web series on the human impact of health care in America. Her work is serious in intent, but full of humor and her warmly blunt, compassionate spirit.

YOU AGAIN with Nathan Darrow
Dominique grew up in Missouri, the oldest of three sisters. She studied history at Carleton College (Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa), has lived in spots as varied as Morocco, France and Costa Rica, and now resides in New York. The parks of Olmsted & Vaux are near and dear to her, with Central (Manhattan), Prospect (Brooklyn) and Forest (St. Louis) vying for her “favorite.” She’s currently at work on a novel and a nonfiction book.
