Other career highlights include being cast in Dream Maker Studio's production of "Undertow", directed by the late Peter Spann, playing the co- star role of Jess to Jaqui Purvis, and playing the lead in the independent short "Horror Movie II", which she received the award for best female actress in the Bloodfest competition in 2020 and took out best picture overall. In 2022, Madeleine is set to undertake her second independent feature film, "3, 2 Gone" by Russell Southam.
