[on what she’s learned from playing the role of Jake Pratt on Young Americans (2000)] “The clothes are comfortable…but on a deeper level I learned that the competition between boys and girls isn’t as strong as between women”

ABORTION HYPROCRITE, 39min., USA
Directed by Josué Mastroianni
Abortion is one of the most controversial and divisive themes raging across the social and political spectrum of the US and Europe – making this new, compelling psychological drama perfectly timed. Would the most confident among pro-life and pro-choice rethink their arguments if confronted head-on with certain circumstances or opportunities? Who or what would any one be unwilling to lose for the sake of one’s pro life/choice argument?

LIVE FROM THE GENEVA!, 13min,. USA

Get to know the filmmaker:
What motivated you to make this film?
I wanted to write a story that tackled themes of misinformation on the Internet, and especially how they influence our beliefs socially, politically, and economically. And I wanted to sort of find a good way to wake people up to sort of what’s been going on around them by comparing that period in which we live in today to that of the Red Scare, and sort of show a compare and contrast between what we know as a terrible period of American history and the Red Scare, and sort of seeing if there is anything we can really learn from it and apply to towards misinformation online today in order to not repeat the same mistakes that we may have already learned in the past.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
It was kind of crazy, because I hadn’t heard direct feedback before from people outside my friends and family, so I was a little nervous to see what people would say. But generally, the comments were very nice, and people said that they liked a lot of the stylistic choices and themes. They liked the creativity behind the project, which I am really grateful for. I think I got my message across in a good way. So that’s always good news. And yeah, I just appreciated all the kind words.

QUOTES:
(when asked which does he call home, Los Angeles or New York City) I root for the Knicks. I root for the Yankees.
(when asked what prompted him to go to Hollywood) The only way I’m going to L.A. is with a job.
I remain thankful for the gifts that I’ve been given and I try to use them in a good way, in a positive way.
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
For the movie Glory (1989), before going out to shoot the whipping scene, I’m backstage in a room, and I’m thinking, how am I gonna do this scene? All I did – you know people ask me, how did you prepare? – I say, I prayed. And I got on my knees and they were waiting for me, and I prayed. And then I prayed to all the spirits. I said, “Look fellas, ladies” and I’m talking about those who have been, and I said, “Look I don’t know, I’m just rolling with you all. Just whatever happens, I’m going. And I said are you with me? Come on!” I’m serious! And I went out there and what hit me was, I’m in charge. Never put my head down. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me, the character – and ,in fact, I had the guy build all the scars to put on my back – and I went out there with an attitude that I’m going to take this and not fold. But it hurt. And the tear was actually real. You know, you just allow it and you’re thankful for it. It’s not technical. It’s not science. It’s spirit.

QUOTES:
[on her newfound fame] I’m very happy about it to be really honest! But I think it’s as a result of being scrutinised because of the relationship that I’m in. If it was because of the work, it would be more justified.
[on her style secrets] The secret is to know what you’re doing. And then every other person will notice that you know. No matter what I’m wearing, I try to always make it look casually, but never arbitrary. Never ostentatious.
Style is definitely a combination of place, occasion, surroundings, body and mood. And to be honest, I sometimes don’t spare neither trouble nor expense. Fortunately, I can afford to do so now, but style doesn’t mean you have to stick to all-brands-looks. The thing is, you can’t buy style and you can only slowly learn it.
Men’s traditional view of sexiness isn’t sexy. It shouldn’t be so obvious: push-up bras and miniskirts? Sexiness, to me, is when people are comfortable with themselves.
