Career

While living in University City, San Diego in 2013, [1] Wolfkind portrayed the White Rabbit in North Coast Repertory Theatre's production of Disney's Alice in Wonderland in Solana Beach, California [2] and was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress (Junior Division) by the National Youth Arts Awards. [3] Later that year, she was an assistant director on NCR's production of The Diary of Anne Frank . [4] In 2017, Wolfkind was cast as Anne Frank in Love All You Have Left through Facebook auditions. [5]

Grimcutty

In 2022, Wolfkind starred in the Hulu original horror film Grimcutty. [6] In an interview with UPI , Wolfkind talked about the relation to her character because her own parents didn't understand how the internet works. [7] While critics on the whole were not kind to the film, [8] some individual reviews highlighted Wolfkind's performance. Rob Price at Comic Watch said she was a "bit uneven in her performance, for the most part she was good, but there were times she just didn’t seem genuine." [9] In a positive review of the film, Clement Tyler Obropta at Film Inquiry wrote that "Wolfkind plays the hell out of the role. She’s got bottomless reserves of pathos, and [writer-director John] Ross even trusts her to give a final ASMR address to the audience at the end of the picture. She’s the latest in a line of amazing young actresses emerging in Hollywood, many of whom got their start in horror: Wolfkind stands shoulder-to-shoulder in Grimcutty with Amber Midthunder in Prey, Jenna Ortega in X and Scream, Devery Jacobs in Rhymes for Young Ghouls and Blood Quantum, Anya Taylor-Joy in The Witch and Split, and Blu Hunt in The New Mutants — a legion of Gen Z Final Girls."
