Is that correct, what did you do before you went into acting, and did you have any previous acting experience or training as an actress?</b><p> <p>Yes that is true.<p>I was an artist and a graphic designer for a while actually and no, I have no training or schooling or even experience about acting at all.<p>  <table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" width="155"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <img border="0" src="../stills/tina-fatal.jpg" width="150" height="216"></td> </tr> </table> <p><b>What can you tell us about your very first experiences on a movie set, and about your first movie as such?</b> <p>  <p>Well my first movie was shot the day I was discovered at the Chiller convention, actually i'ts kinda how I got discovered <span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-hansi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; color: #2A2A2A; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA" lang="EN-US">J</span>. Now as far as being on a movie set that’s a story on it’s own, but it was fun and all new to me so hey, all smiles.<p> <p><b>Over the years, you have made quite a few movies for <i><a href="../research/resultprodlinks.shtml?WAVE Productions">WAVE Productions</a></i>? A few words about the company and its head Gary Whitson?</b><p> <p>Hahahaha, Gary Whitson can be called Gary Wood and he would laugh at this. Gary is cool, he builds his own sets and such and of course we joke with him all the time… My personal feeling is that he really likes to make the comic looking stuff that involves green screen animation more than anything, but he has been at it for quite some time so he must be doing something right. Gary is the company pretty much… he does all the editing – shooting – I will guess and say writing and well I think you get the idea. <p> <p><b>Pretty early in your career, you also started making movies with William Hellfire</b><b> <i>[<a href="williamhellfire(10-13).shtml">William Hellfire interview - click here</a>]</i></b><b>. How did that collaboration come into being, and what can you tell us about the man, his approach to moviemaking, and the films you did with him?</b><p>  <p>Willy H … Hummm ya know we are all connected in this crazy industry and of course ya meet new people while working on other films etc. He used to come to my old loft space when I lived in a factory and shoot scenes in my building, then I started working on films with him. He has some crazy shit in his head, but I love the guy and wow, I can’t remember all the films I did with him or for him. Some stuff was funny and some way more serious and even hard to watch cause of the content. He’s totally cool and has always been a good friend to me. I think Will does what he wants when it comes to making movies – he’s not gonna candy coat a flick just to fit in with the masses and I respect that, I really do. My final words about Billy if I were to describe him in a nutshell would be “Bring It On”.<p>     <p><b><i><a href="../movies/vampireseduction(1998).shtml">Vampire's Seduction</a></i> is the film that pretty much put <i><a href="../research/resultprodlinks.shtml?Seduction">Seduction Cinema</a></i> on the map in 1998, and at least in my opinion that's in no small part thanks to you. A few words about the studio, the film and its director John Bacchus?</b> <p>  <p>JB might be one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with and there has to be a ton of bloopers on that reel since neither of us could keep a straight face for more than a minute. <p>They have a good studio and well a great group to work with and at the time they were more comedy based and not so much girl/girl crap… Sorry but it just gets real boring after a while. I kinda wish it went back to comedy and straight-laced sexy stuff they used to do cause it was funny… real funny. As far as working with them I can’t say I ever had a complaint… everyone was cool and really nice and the set was without a doubt lots of fun.<p>   <table align="right" border="0" cellspacing="0" width="205"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="right"><img border="0" src="../stills/tina-vamp.jpg" width="200" height="146"></td> </tr> </table> <p><b>After <i><a href="../movies/vampireseduction(1998).shtml">Vampire's Seduction</a></i>, you have been cast as a vampire in quite a few <i><a href="../research/resultprodlinks.shtml?Seduction">Seduction</a></i>-movies (and not only in their films I presume).

I put it away for a minute because I was working on so many other projects but then came back to it. It’s a pschycological arthouse horror. Very strange and mostly visual with very little dialog kind of shot like a long music video on some level. I wound up shooting and directing the crazy flick, it took approx 4 weeks to finish… all I can say is wow! Later I came to direct a short that won the NYC slam short film fest in 2000 called <b> Phone Tag</b> and then just started directing and co-directing other projects (not my own), but I now am concentrating, and 3 more movies I want to finish writing and directing … should be cool<p>   <p><b>More recently, you have been in cult director Frank Henenlotter's return to moviemaking, <i><a href="../movies/badbiology(2008).shtml">Bad Biology</a></i>.

Frank is awesome! I love that man and talk about some crazy shit going on in one's head… wow! I was introduced to Frank by RA the Rugged Man who is a friend of mine and usually has me in a music video or two when they come up. I met RA on a set that a director friend of mine was shooting footage for… see I told you this is a small world.<p>  <table align="right" border="0" cellspacing="0" width="155"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="right"><img border="0" src="../stills/tina-cross.jpg" width="150" height="199"></td> </tr> </table> <p><b>So far, you have mainly been in horror movies, but with <i>Cross the Line</i>, you star in a cop/action flick.
