A: I started out simply by contacting directors whose work I liked directly, mainly through MySpace. I’ve found that people in the low-budget film work are remarkably approachable and eager to work with people who are excited about making movies. The direct approach has always worked best for me. With that said, my first actual on-screen experience came about in response to a Craiglist ad for an independent film. The director was looking for someone to play a small role as a stripper but after we met in person he upgraded me to a much larger, speaking role. This was in late 2008. The movie was a wonderful indie called “I.M. Caravaggio” which is now receiving major attention at festivals.

          A: I play a girl who is obsessed with magickal and occult objects. I buy this box which supposedly has the power to grant wishes. It turns out that the box is inhabited by some really pissed off spirits who possess me and make me do some very bad things. It was SUCH a fun role and I really got into it!

          A: This is sort of an ensemble film in that it follows the stories of several different main characters. There are definitely some twists, but I think it’s one of those movies where the real fun comes from the knowledge that some really bad stuff is going to happen and just sitting back and watching while the characters walk right into trouble. It’s just good, campy, bloody fun.

          A: I came out from Vegas to shoot in New York for two absolutely packed days. We shot for 16 hours the first day and then I slept for an hour (the director, Rob Gifford, didn’t sleep at all) and then got up to shoot 17 hours the second day. It was just crazy, and there were challenges at every turn. Rob had to rewrite an entire scene on the fly when one of my scene partners didn’t work out. Then there was a somewhat complicated scene involving lots of fake blood, and since we didn’t have extra clothes we had to rehearse until we got it just right and then we got a single take with the blood capsules. Rob is great at adapting instantly, so despite these sorts of challenges I never thought “oh no, this will never work.” That, to me, is the sign of a true guerilla filmmaker – adaptability.

          A: When my character becomes possessed she has a total personality switch. I really wanted to make this obvious to the audience but I wasn’t sure exactly how I’d do it. As soon as the camera was rolling I just completely became the “evil” character and I felt a total rush like, “YES! This is WORKING! This is going to look GOOD!”

          A: After we worked together on “The Wishing Box,” Rob wanted to use me in other films, but since he is in New York and I’m in Vegas there’s a bit of a distance issue. He asked me if I would provide a masturbation clip for a scene in which the evil doll in “No Strings 2” finds a porno video. As it happens I have tons of content like that because I run my own solo website, so I was able to immediately send him an unused clip for inclusion in the film.

          A: This is one of the cases where I approached the director, Jim Wynorski, on MySpace. I was a fan of his work, so I sent him a message saying that I was a fan and an aspiring actress and would love to work with him. After a couple of phone calls and a few projects that didn’t pan out he asked me to fill in on “The Hills Have Thighs” at the last minute. This was about a year after I initially contacted him and I was thrilled to finally have the chance to work with the legendary Jim Wynorski. It was my first softcore experience and I was all wide-eyed and somewhat starstruck. It was great fun, though, and I have since had the opportunity to act in two more Wynorski softcores.

          A: I have several softcore and mainstream films coming out. First up is “Lusty Cheerleaders Versus Busty Coeds,” a Wynorski film that airs on April 1.” “Rewind Time Machine” will air sometime in the latter half of 2011. Both will show on HBO/Skinemax. I also have a small role as a contestant in a bikini contest in the Syfy movie “Super Shark.” As for upcoming roles, this month (March) I have three projects filming – I play a news anchor in Ted V. Mikels’ “Astro Zombies M4: Invaders from Cyberspace” and I have two more Wynorski films set to start shooting soon.

          A: Troma and Full Moon are at the top of my list.

          A: One word: fun. I’m not a full-time actress and I have no desire to be. I’m doing this for fun. I do projects that I think will be fun because of the subject matter or the people involved. I love to work on micro-budget productions with people who are passionate about making movies. If it’s a movie that gets seen, so much the better, but it’s really about the process for me.
