Meet The Cast Of Hold My Beer: Anne McEnerny-Ogle

This week, I'd like you to meet the final major cast member of Hold My Beer: Anne McEnerny-Ogle!
Anne is playing Amber, the vice president of a (fictional) Vancouver, WA-based investment firm called "Columbian Capital" (it was originally called "Columbia Capital," but then I discovered there's a real company with that name). Any more details would be a spoiler, so you'll just have to watch the film.

Fun fact: for those of you who don't know, Anne is the real-life mayor of Vancouver! When I was looking for someone to play Amber, I discovered that Mayor Anne had some prior acting experience, and I thought, "wouldn't it be cool if we could get her in the film, kind of like how Portlandia featured former Portland mayor Sam Adams?" So the stars aligned, and voila.

Here's her bio:

Anne became the first woman to serve as mayor of Vancouver, Washington in 2018, where she has since helped to lead efforts in economic development, regional community relations, and transportation. Her role in Hold My Beer is her second on-screen acting experience; she previously had a cameo in The Matahari Agency, another Vancouver, Washington-based short film.

Thanks for being part of our cast, Mayor Anne!

Much more to come...
