"Mary is a dream to work with. Starting with her work ethic she is always punctual, flexible and shows up ready to work. On screen: you can't take your eyes off her. Even in the simplest of roles she is compelling to watch and films superbly. That is why we continuously try to have her on our films she is an actress who fully embodies the principal that 'there are no small roles only small actors'. Hire her now while you still can and you will not regret it."

"Mary Votava is a gem. During production, we worked long days; with Mary’s character central to every scene. Mary was tirelessly directable, creative, willing to take chances with blocking, and spot on with respect to continuity which made editing a breeze. She definitely knows her craft and how to prepare. Professional, talented, and fun to be around, I hope to have many opportunities to work with Mary and look forward to celebrating her next film and stage debut."

"Ms. Mary Votava is a breath of fresh air as an actress and a helluva sport. Soft-spoken in rehearsal but always with wide eyes pregnant with a respectful curiosity for exactly what I'm looking for balanced with a resource of creative originality and depth of understanding of her own: A brilliant, committal and passionate young actress who brings to the project her humble acquiescence to the director's vision coupled with deep-seated reservoirs of empirical wisdom and a vast philosophical comprehension of character depth, motivation and context. Calm and collective she is in person but this little scamp is somehow responsible for some of the most intense and provocative scenes in my picture. One of the most professional and talented actresses I've ever had the advantage of working with and God bless her for it."
