Laguna Niguel actress stars in raw drama now streaming on Amazon

Laguna Niguel actress Kayden Tokarski's latest film "My Melancholy Baby" is now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Written by screenwriter and former Orange County Register reporter Keith Sharon, who penned "Showtime" with Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy and more recently "Finding Steve McQueen" with Forest Whitaker, "My Melancholy Baby" takes a look into the life of a family — a recovering addict, a child with many developmental disabilities - played by 12-year-old Tokarski, and an overwhelmed mother. It was directed by award-winning director Justin Wilder Neese.

The film also stars former Laguna Niguel resident Dylan Sharon along with LA-based actors Sage Kirkpatrick and Tank Jones. The film was shot in 2020 and is part of the Montreal Film Festival.

Tokarski has been acting since she was 10 years old and is starring in the soon-to-be released "Apocalypse Love Story"; 10 short films; three commercials and was featured on shows like "The Mandalorian"; Modern Family; and "NCIS."
