What was it about DarkGame that made you want to reteam with Howard Ford?
Howard is always a lot of fun to work with as he’s got such an adventurous spirit, so he has the ability to turn any shoot into something that’s going to be a lot of fun! He’s extremely talented so I always feel very confident in knowing that anything he’s working on will turn into something very special that will look great and also get out there!
He also gave me a lot of creative freedom in ESCAPE to input my own ideas into the project and I really admire that from a director as it’s lovely when you are able to give your own Input into projects and when your ideas are genuinely taken on board.
What can you tell us about DarkGame and where Fay fits into the story?
DarkGame is about a detective on the hunt to stop a twisted game show on the dark web, where captives are forced to compete for their lives. It’s a fast paced thriller movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
It was amazing to act in a movie alongside Ed Westwick!
My character Fay actually opens the film and plays a very significant part within the story line. She certainly does not have an easy time which is why a detective is hired played by Ed Westwick to hunt down a serial killer.
What is your dream role?
I think my dream role would be the lead in a comedy film playing a superhero type character as I’m trained in martial arts and have a background in gymnastics so I always love the chance to show off my acrobatic skills haha! I love comedic acting as well and I did a lot of comedy during my time in Asia in feature films that all made cinema and TV shows out there so I’d love to do some more comedy acting soon!
