Genevieve Sibayan
Genevieve Sibayan, born smack in the middle of Birmingham on a chilly February day in ‘83, has this kind of electric energy that jumps off the screen—whether she’s acting or wrangling talent behind the camera as a casting director. People might remember her best from the offbeat, totally bonkers Love Tourettes (2011). That film, honestly, it’s a wild ride; she dives into her role with zero hesitation, balancing comedy and genuine heart in a way that’s honestly kinda rare.
Then there’s The Scopia Effect (2014). If you’re into weird psychological horror that messes with your head and tosses reality out the window, you’ve probably seen her in this one too. Her performance? Unnerving and magnetic—like you can’t look away, even when things get seriously messed up. She’s not afraid to go dark, which, let’s be real, is probably why she stands out in indie cinema.
And don’t forget Rock and Roll Stole My Soul (2010). That movie’s got a gritty, underground vibe—think late-night gigs, broken dreams, and a soundtrack you’ll be humming for days. Sibayan feels right at home in that world, channeling all the chaos and heartbreak into something raw but real. Basically, Genevieve’s got range for days, whether she’s front-and-center or calling the shots behind the scenes. Not your typical cookie-cutter filmography; she’s carving her own path and it shows, every single time she steps into a project.
