Your new movie B.C. Butcher - in a few words, what is it about, and what can you tell us about your character in it?

 

B.C. Butcher is about four cavewomen that try to protect their way of life from a monster that threatens them. There's blood, guts, and a romance with a loose and somewhat confused caveman in a loincloth! Yay! My character Bamba is the blind clairvoyant of the tribe.

 

What did you draw upon to bring your character to life?

 

I studied the Jamaican Patois accent, and rewrote all my lines as how they should sound. Do I execute it well? That's for you to decide!

 

What was it even like to run around the woods in campy costumes like yours?

 

You know, since we were just in a backyard, it wasn't bad! It probably wouldn't have been bad even if we were in public either. The only thing that killed me was walking around in the canyon without shoes, and not being able to look down to see what I was stepping on (because I'm supposed to be blind). 

 

How did you get hooked up with the project in the first place, and to what extent can you identify with the prehistoric and the slasher genre?

 

I responded to the casting call online, and I originally auditioned for Anaconda. Kansas [Kansas Bowling interview - click here] called me a couple of days before the shoot and told me she wanted me to play Bamba. I'm glad I ended up playing Bamba though, because she's awesome. I enjoy horror movies and such, so I like the occasional slasher film. As far as prehistoric goes, I was a history minor in college? That connection might be a stretch, but that's okay. Haha.

 

What can you tell us about your director Kansas Bowling [Kansas Bowling interview - click here], and what was your collaboration like?

 

Kansas is a true visionary, and she was a thrill to work with. She knows what she wants, and she gets it done. She's really inspiring!

 

Do talk about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere!

 

The on-set atmosphere was amazing; everyone was really friendly and got along great! I really made some lifelong friends on that shoot. The only exception was Dwayne (The Butcher), who was nice, but could never remember anyone's name or who they were. 

 

Any future projects you'd like to share?

 

A family television pilot that I'm attached to, True Colors, is set to start to secure funding this February. It follows LGBTQ teens in 90's New York as they discover their identities and sexualities. I'm really excited for it! Also, #30Nods, a webseries I'm attached to, should be coming out soon. It follows seven friends and their 30 day experiment with heroin. Obviously, that's something to watch with the family as well (please don't).

 

What got you into acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal training on the subject?

 

As cliché as it sounds, I've always been into acting and performing arts, and I started training when I was around eight. I've taken numerous acting and theatre classes, and my most recent one was an Improv class at Second City Hollywood.

 

What can you tell us about your filmwork prior to B.C. Butcher?

 

B.C. Butcher is actually my first feature film here in Hollywood. Before that, I did some short student films. 

 

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

 

Hmm, I'm not sure how I would describe myself. I'm cool I guess. 

Usually when shooting, I say my lines a little differently in each take until I like how I've said it. Different inflections can mean different things. That's about it I think?

 

Actresses (and indeed actors) who inspire you?

 

Michael Fassbender inspires me with HIS LOOKS! But in all seriousness, the acting friends I've made out here in Hollywood all inspire me in some way. There's something about seeing a bunch of people you know landing commercials and different gigs that make you want to get your act together.

 

Your favourite movies?

 

This question never gets any easier. I'm gonna go with The Lego Movie, Sakuran, Stranger Than Fiction, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (the remake).

 

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