Your new movie Guns of
Eden - in a few words, what is it about, and what can you tell us
about your character?
Guns of
Eden
is an action packed good time! Megan Rorest is on leave from the
police force and ends up accepting an invitation to go camping with her ex-partner and some of his friends. Little did they know they would stumble
upon a crooked police operation that would have them fighting for
their lives. Megan throughout the movie is searching for purpose and ends
up finding it fighting the very people she once trusted, the police.
What did you draw upon to bring
your character to life, and how much Alexandra Faye Sadeghian can we find
in Megan? Megan
is very proud and has a tendency to not ask for help from anyone.
These are traits that I also deal with at times so some of her reactions
were very organic for me to portray. I as a whole am not too much like
Megan and it's very funny meeting people who have watched the movie
because I'm a lot nicer in real life and smile a lot more.
Megan is a very physical role that demands a
lot of fighting and running - so how did you prepare for that aspect of
the movie? I
was doing a good deal of weighted exercises and boxing to prepare for
the role. I also had a background with firearms from my brother who was
exposing me to guns very early on. How did you get involved with the project in
the first place, and what was your reaction reading the script for the
first time? My
friend John Woodruff had met director Gregory Lamberson [Gregory
Lamberson interview - click here] at his festival years ago and he told me
I should apply for the role. Do talk about Guns
of Eden's director Gregory Lamberson, and what was your collaboration
like? Greg
was fantastic to work with. He is easy going and open to suggestions but
also has a very clear vision of what he wants at the end of the day. He is
very respectful with each actor and their process. A few words about the shoot as such, and the
on-set atmosphere? This
was probably the most fun shoot I've been on. It was very fun and relaxed
and everyone got along well.
Any future projects you'd like to
talk about? I
have a fun one coming out soon called Bound. It's a drama/thriller that I like
to call it the voice for the misfit toys. What got you into acting in the first place,
and did you receive any formal training on the subject? I
discovered acting when I was a freshman in high school and fell in love
with it immediately. I was in our theatre program all throughout high
school and went to the New York Film Academy for undergrad. What
can you tell us about your filmwork prior to Guns
of Eden? My
start was actually with Troma
Entertainment on their film Shakespeare's
Shitstorm. How would you describe yourself as an
actress, and some of your techniques to bring your characters to life?

I
love to utilize imagination. I've found it is the most effective for me.
Whenever I've used real life situations it's hard for me to do it more
than once, but with the imagination it really stimulates my instrument and
produces some consistent, dynamic work. Actresses
(and indeed actors) who inspire you? Charlize
Theron, and I also love Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway. Your favourite
movies? Fight Club is my favorite. I also really loved
Gladiator as a kid. ... and of course, films you really deplore? I
really am not the biggest fan of romantic comedies in general. I've
been surprised in the past but overall I don't tend to like them.
