Your upcoming movie Touch My Heart - in a few words, what's it going to be about?

 

Touch My Heart is a drama feature film based in a real story part of my life and is about an actress who has Breast Cancer and refuses to go for chemo and radiation therapy. She discover that Cancer can be cured NATURALLY with special diets, natural supplements, natural remedies and resolving emotional conflicts with the people that she loves. It is a very inspiring story of courage and hope.

 

The film is based on your own story, right? So what prompted you to share your story with the public?

 

I can't wait to share with the public my message - the reason is very simple: There are millions of people dying from the treatment of chemo and radiation. They don't know that Cancer can be cured NATURALLY. Most of them walk away from the hospital with no hair and with no tumor thinking that they are safe, not knowing that they will have many side effects and probably other diseases. The damage of their immune system is cruel. No therapy should touch the immune system of anybody. God gave us everything we need to heal naturally. The cure for Cancer exist for centuries, just the multibillions dollars business behind all the drugs doesn't let the the message to be out there.

 

Besides your true story, other sources of inspiration?

 

Many sources inspired me. I found books, websites, videos, testimonials, etc talking about the Natural Healing of Cancer. All that material was so helpful in my process of learning about Natural Healing of Cancer. I share daily all that information in my group called NATURAL CURE on Facebook.

 

You will also play the lead in your movie, right? So how do you prepare for the film and what do you expect it to be like reliving some of your story?

 

Yes, I am the writer, and lead actress of Touch My Heart. The story will reveal parts of my life that affected me deeply. All the dialogues are coming from my past experiences. My real mother (who is also an actress) will play a small speaking role in my film to make it even more real.

This film will be very emotional... all of us have conflicts with many people. Most of us try to avoid them, ignore them and focus in other things. Those conflicts ultimately lead to sadness, depression, sickness, diseases, even death. To have a healthy body we must have a healthy mind and heart. We are all energy manifesting itself and reveling who we are in our life. We can't ignore the past because influence the present. To resolve the conflicts from the past normally is sad and painful but it is necessary. And of course... we need courage. A lot of courage to face our deepest emotions and resolve.

 

Anything you can tell us about the rest of your projected cast and crew yet?

We are on very early stage of development but I am searching for the right talents and few of them are already confirmed. I have changed the script writer three times already so I can't announce anything yet at this time.

 

As far as I know, Touch My Heart is still in its fundraising stages - so what can you tell us about your fundraising efforts?

 

This is the first time that I run a fundraising campaign. I didn't know how hard is to raise money. Many people surprised me with their generosity while many others disappointed me ignoring this cause... even though they are involve in Natural Healing of Cancer they don't show support and that HURTS A LOT as I am creating something very valuable that at the end will help millions. My film will show to the world that prevention and cure of Cancer exist and are available to everyone who delete the idea that Cancer cure is or should be a horrible and very expensive thing. Who has Cancer at this moment and wants to heal naturally will  have to make fabulous and positive changes in their life. Who supports my film project with a donation is collaborate with the humanity.

Even though it's probably waaayyyy too early to ask, any idea when and where Touch My Heart might be released onto the general public yet?

 

We never know... the angel investor could appear tomorrow and we will be lucky to produce the film during 2015 and release at the end of 2015. Who knows? I have the intention of making this film asap. Do you know how many people wish to know about Natural cure of Cancer? 

 

Any future projects beyond Touch My Heart you'd like to share?

 

I have lead and supporting roles in two TV series and 10 feature films that hopefully will shoot between 2015 and 2017. Even if I am focusing on producing my film, I am still getting new roles in other productions of all type of genres, which is a good thing.

 

As far as I know, your initial claim to fame was as a model - so how did you break into modeling and what can you tell us about your modeling career?

 

I started very young. My first two experiences in a catwalk were back in Argentina at the age of 6 and 15 or 16. After that I was promotional model for many brands. Later here in the US I started as a lingerie model, art gallery top model, pin up, glamour... but always I ended up on TV with interviews, videos, documentaries, music videos, etc. I appeared in so many Latin TV channels from Miami to the rest of US and Latin countries including Playboy.

 

What got you into acting eventually, and what can you tell us about your training on the subject?

 

The talents agencies sent me to castings and I got my first speaking main lead role for MTV. After that I been acting and dancing on many Latin TV shows until my first experience in English language with the original Baywatch producers who encouraged me to work in the American movies. While I was taking acting class with different professors, a horror filmmaker offered me a supporting role in his feature film (back in 2007).

What can you tell us about your filmwork prior to Touch My Heart?

 

I have done many short films of all types of genre, but I would like to mention the few feature films that converted me in an scream queen: Scream Farm, Bikini Swamp Girl Massacre/Hell Glades, Jebadiah's Axe and Disciples. After that I had lead role in a thriller crime TV series called Wisp, where I play Commissioner Gray Williams. Like I said before, I had many roles in all type of films, some of them are big productions that will take me to the next level.

 

How would you describe yourself as an actress, and some of your techniques to bring your characters to life?

 

I am a very versatile actress who can play all types of nationality, from Latin to Russian, from German to Italian. Not only because of my looks but because of my accents. I also speak many languages but basically Spanish and English.

Also my age range can go from 20 to 40. I had done this before and I know how to make myself to look younger or older, depends of what the role is asking for. Techniques to bring the character... I bring myself to a new situation and I change my real history for the history of the character. I place another spirit in my body. When I am shooting I don't like to become Deborah and then the character and then Deborah... I like to keep in character all the time because I am experiencing another reality and that's they way I want to keep until the end of the day.

I like the actors from the old school more than the new actors. Looks like the new generation of actors are coming from the same school of arts and they all act the same way as tools that were manufactured in the same place. I'm inspired by Brigitte Bardot, Sharon Stone, Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Douglas and many others.

 

Your favourite movies?

 

All the 007 movies and Basic Instinct are my favorite movies. I love romantic comedies too. We can find good movies in all type of genres.

Anything else you are dying to mention and I have merely forgotten to ask?

 

I would like to spread the world with a message of hope: "Cancer could be reversed and cured Naturally." Who wants to join me in this cause will be welcome. I can't change the world by myself.
