The Full Story

Her breakout momentum accelerated during an exceptionally prolific 2024, in which she appeared in twelve feature films, earning recognition as a rising scream queen within the international indie horror circuit. Her performance as Vivienne in Flesh of the Unforgiven garnered three Best Supporting Actress awards, including the Horror Nation 2024 Award for Best Performance by a Supporting Female Actor in an Independent Horror Film.

She was inducted into the Tattness Entertainment Hall of Fame the same year and received the Madden Taylor Award for her contributions to independent cinema. Additional acclaim followed her starring role in Death Bitch, which won Best Indie Made Under $100K at Film Threat's Award This! festival, further cementing her reputation for choosing bold, unconventional projects.

Beyond acting, August is the creator, writer, co-producer, and host of Dark Rewind, a genre series on Scream TV that blends horror history, cultural analysis, and performance-driven hosting. She has also received Best Actress awards for her work as host in The Devil's Dancers, where her command of tone and audience connection became a defining strength.

In parallel with her film work, August offers private tarot consultations focused on North Node and South Node readings, helping creatives, performers, and industry professionals gain clarity, direction, and purpose within their personal and professional lives.

"Genre storytelling is not escapism, but a tool for insight, transformation, and connection."
