“I love collaborating with interesting artists and bringing visions to life and telling new stories. At the moment, I’m interested in whatever is going to come—there’s not [a single] focus. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that setting specific goals can be to your detriment. Sometimes it’s a little bit easier to be open to anything, because everything is a surprise in this industry. I’m just sitting back and waiting for my next big surprise.” -- on her dream role

Congratulations on the upcoming release of Sweetheart! How are you feeling about the public seeing the project? I’ve been excited about Sweetheart since I first read the script. The filming experience was a total joy, four weeks on the Jurassic coast with a tiny cast and crew. All of us involved care deeply for and love the story, so now knowing that the public will get to see it and fall in love with it too is so exciting. The film touches on the forever-relevant coming-of-age themes of sexuality and finding yourself.

What’s your character like?   Queen Sareth is a young woman who is thrust into a situation she has no control over. Instead of  panicking, she plans, manipulating situations to her advantage. She’s quick, clever, fearless and has a strong sense of good and evil. I’m totally biased, but I really love her. I feel so lucky that I got to play her.
