Industry testimonials:
 
“Rain has a unique presence and expressive nature that make her a talent the US entertainment industry will benefit highly from.” – Jonathon Gruber, award winning writer/director, best known for the #1 box office hit The Butterfly Effect 
 
“Rain Fuller first came to my attention as a stage performer at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, an event second only to Edinburgh Fringe on the international comedy calendar. Rain has been cast in several of our projects including the narrative comedy pilot 23/7, opposite one of Australia's most legendary actors and comedians Shaun Micallef.” – Andy McIntyre, TV producer and former TV network executive, CEO of Rocket Science Entertainment 

“I was impressed with her work ethic, her skill and professionalism. She prepared meticulously, she was able to improvise and contributed creatively to the piece. Her enthusiasm, diligence and focus was admirable and I would have no hesitation in working with Rain again.” - Nicholas Bufalo, veteran TV director 

“Through all the actors I have worked with over two decades I have rarely seen an actor with the exceptional talent, poise and versatility of Rain. She is a rare find – with a great voice, stunning look and an incredible empathy for truth and finding the essence of a character." - Alex Broun, Australian theatre director and playwright
