Sandra daCOSTA | Pete Winning & the Pirates Episodes 1 & 2

The Swashbuckling Adventures of Pete Winning & The Pirates takes the nostalgic notions about the romance of piracy and whimsy of a pirates life and adds a modern twist.
Continuing the adventures of the original 2011 short film, we follow Pete Winning and his crew as they navigate a global-warming flooded Canada in the year 2035, in search of the self-crowned evil Queen's coveted maps of the new world.
L to R: Terry He, Sandra daCOSTA, Shawn Devlin, Mike Donis, Saffron Cassaday, Robert Nolan
 Here's what I had to say about joining the cast in the role of JANE

"A female pirate with laser guns... Adventure sprinkled with comedy, and a romantic, idealized interpretation of a pirate's life... I can finally cross this off my performers bucket list!"

"The plot alone is a seller. Following Pete Winning during his quest, surrounded by character-driven roles utilized to expand the cosmos in which we find our animated sea dwellers, taking us without deviation into the action/adventure that is The Swashbuckling Adventures of Pete Winning & The Pirates. It's due to this unfaltering motive that I am absolutely excited to join the cast as 'JANE'— an athletic, sexy, smart woman who can hold her own in a laser-gun fight...making her a serious force to be reckoned with."
