Your new movie Axe to Grind - in a few words, what is it about, and what can you tell us about your character in it?

 

This movie is about a scream queen's revenge, towards her husband the producer and the young aspiring horror stars who have shared her husband's bed. My character happens to be "the next big thing" who has replaced her in the current horror movie. She is also her husband's current number one girl.

 

What did you draw upon to bring your character to life, and how much of Paula Labaredas can we find in Delilah?

 

I put myself in her situation and how she would feel regarding the circumstances. I pretty much used believability - moment for moment but when it came to my dramatic emotional scene I drew upon personal experiences. So I tend to mix it up.

 

How did you get involved with the project in the first place?

 


The producer/writer Scott C. Sanford found me on Facebook. He liked my previous work and thought I would be perfect for his project.

 

To what extent could you identify with the Axe to Grind's brand of comedy?

 

When we were shooting the movie within the movie, that is where I found it comedic. We were portraying the campy over-the-top horror films. But the actual movie itself when we are being hunted was realistic... I was scared! :)

 

What can you tell us about Axe to Grind's director Matt Zettell, and what was your collaboration with him like?

 

He was very supportive towards us actors. He allowed us to take our time and deliver our interpretation of the character. I felt it was a creative, safe environment. He worked fast, was well organized and always on top of things. He made sure we all had what we needed. Regarding the technical part he had a variety of creative cool shots that added to the look and feel of the script. I was impressed with his style and admired his work ethic.

 

A few words about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere?

 

Because of the limited days of shooting we were all working super fast and delivering our best work to the project, in a fun environment. I felt we were all supportive of one another working towards the same goal.

 

Any future projects you'd like to share?

 

Yes I have quite a few music videos in the works. I have just produced and shot a parody music video which I will release on my YouTube channel, called Selfie Girl, a Barbie Girl Parody. As well as releasing my first original song, called Jitter

 

What got you into acting to begin with, and did you receive any formal education on the subject?

 

I loved using my imagination as an escape when I was a child, never thought of pursuing acting until I was in college, when I enrolled in the theatre program.

 

Can you still remember your first time in front of a movie or TV camera, and what was that experience like?

Yes my first time was on a black and white NYFA student film. It was my start and knew I wanted to move forward with acting.

 

What can you tell us about your filmwork prior to Axe to Grind?

 

I've worked on quite a few low budget independent films as well as high budget ones. They have all been a good experience. Any time I get an opportunity to act is fulfilling.

 

Do talk about your production company Lucky Tiger Films for a bit, and the philosophy behind it?

 

Years ago I created my own production company to create and star in my own films. I like creating something from scratch and seeing it flourish to a tangible piece of art. My masterpiece is still in the works.

 

How would you describe yourself as an actress?

 

I describe myself as an actress as authentic, powerful and raw. I like to have fun with my work as well as dig deep into the complicated layers of humanity and express it beautifully where it is relatable and affective to the audience.

 

Actresses (and indeed actors) who inspire you?

 

My all time favorite is Marilyn Monroe. I also like Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Juliette Lewis and Robin Wright's work.

 

Your favourite movies?

 

Long list, but here are a few. Flashdance, A Patch of Blue, Scarface, Dangerous Beauty, Natural Born Killers, Last of the Mohicans...

 

... and of course, films you really deplore?

 

Oh lol. I hate bloody, chopped limbs, grotesque films. They are just gross and I don't need those images in my psyche. I like pleasant images.
