Thank You for participating in our interview!
Firstly why don’t you tell us about yourself!
How and why did you get into the business?
--
I got into the business a few years ago. I've always loved to entertain people and be in front of the camera. I also think it's really important that you find that one thing you really love doing, and strive to do it. Acting makes me happy, and meeting so many creative people is awesome!
What are your aspirations?
--
Right now I am finishing my last year of college then I plan to move out to LA for a bit. When I get out there I'll really be able to focus all of my attention on building a career. I just don't want to grow old and wonder if it ever could have been done.
Who are your idols, and/or influences?
I have a few people I really look up to as actors. I really like Jennifer Aniston, I think she is fantastic and beautiful. I also look up to Christian Bale- he's such a great method actor. Lastly, I love Julia Roberts-she is amazing. As for personally, there are so many people who have been great influences on my life; my parents, my grandparents, close friends and family.. Much love to them.
Tell us about your movie, What Should we expect from it?Any comparisons to similar movies? Whats your role?
--
The Severed Inn is an full length independant film shot in CT. It's a unique concept with a little gore, and some dark comedy. Shawn C. Phillips, and M.J Kelly are fantastic in it same with Paul B. who plays Uncle Bob. I would compare it a little to Wrong Turn. I play Sabrina a woman who gets kidnapped. I guess you'll have to watch it to learn more!
What where the best, worst, and hardest parts of making this movie?
--
Best part was the crew we worked with. Everyone was really motivated and creative. Many of the actors traveled from far to be a part of this film too. The hardest part was the heat. We ended up lucking on weather but it ended up being too hott! The best part was the outcome we had at the theatre. It sold out!
Did you enjoy making it?
--
I loved making it. I can't wait to work with Legion Films again. They are really expanding their horizons and we are all learning as we move through the process. I see great things for them in the future.
Any unique/interesting storys about making the movie?
--
Way too many stories. I think my favorite part was the hot dawg stand scene and jumping out of the van and proceeding to attack Rick Broderick ( one of our Producers).
Any upcoming or past projects you think may interest of readers?
--
There are a couple really exciting projects coming up this summer. I'm not sure on all of the juicy details yet though!
What are some of your favorite Favorite Horror, Sci-Fi or Action movies (your own excluded)?
--
Well, a little fun fact about me, I do not like horror movies. I can't seem to hack it. I always take them to literally and get freaked out. One I saw years ago that I enjoyed was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- not the original. Favorite action movie is probably Boondock Saints or one I just saw recently, Law Abiding Citizen.
