Brazilian Actress Marcia do Vales set to star as Identical twin sisters in Spaniard Javier De Prado’s QUAIL HOLLOW

Having kick-assed her way through Brit zomcom Ibiza Undead, Brazilian-born actress Marcia do Vales is set to star in Quail Hollow (working title), in which she plays identical twins with some pretty scary powers.

Directed by Spaniard Javier De Prado, and produced by UK’s Templeheart Films, the supernatural horror begins shooting in locations around New Orleans in early 2017.

Storyline: Identical twin sisters Sunny and Mila (played by Marcia Do Vales) are born with paranormal powers.

Separated at a young age, Sunny ends up institutionalised, while Mila tries to lead a normal life. Ten years on, Mila goes to Quail Hollow to investigate the strange circumstances of her sister's death and uncovers a shocking truth about their powers.

Marcia, one of the UK’s brightest horror genre imports, commented “I’m really looking forward to taking on what will be my biggest acting challenge yet. My father was a twin, but unfortunately his brother died very young. So, I‘ve always had a very strong curiosity in identical twins and their unusual relationship”.

Marcia is not only carving a name for herself as a film actress, but gaining a reputation as a gifted producer, with Paul Hyett’s supernatural thriller Heretiks her latest credit. Before Marcia begins shooting Quail Hollow, she will feature in Dan Brownlie’s London-based horror thriller The Tombs: Rise of the Damned. She is also currently producing The Foreseen, a supernatural chiller to be directed by Anthony Melton and Ben Franklin.

Marcia Do Vales – Biography
One of the UK’s brightest horror genre imports, Brazilian-born Marcia Do Vales is not only carving a name for herself as an film actress, but gaining a reputation as a gifted producer, with Paul Hyett’s supernatural thriller Heretiks her latest credit.

Having kick-assed her way through Brit zomcom Ibiza Undead, Marcia is set to star in Quail Hollow (working title), directed by Javier De Prado, where she plays identical twins with some pretty dark powers.

Her fascination for the horror genre developed when she was twelve years old, with films like Child’s Play, Pet Cemetery and The Evil Dead being particularly influential.

She recalls “The windows in my bedroom had a kind of mirroring effect and I would spend many hours in front of the distorted glass, creating and re-creating scary characters and film scenes”.

Putting her acting instinct on hold, largely to appease her family, she studied Law, but eventually left her home country in 2002 to pursue a film career in Spain, accepting a place at the prestigious ‘Instituto Del Cine Madrid’.

In 2010 she developed and wrote, with Oscar Carrion, the Anglo-Spanish horror film, Deranged, which UK production Company Templeheart Films went on to produce, in partnership with Marcia’s own company EnMar Productions. Shot in Madrid and released in 2012, worldwide, Marcia starred alongside Craig Fairbrass and Victoria Broom. This was the beginning of a fruitful partnership with Templeheart and after moving to London in 2013 she brought them a script called The Sisterhood which would eventually become Heritiks, starring Michael Ironside, Clare Higgins & Hannah Arterton.

Before Marcia begins shooting Quail Hollow in New Orleans (produced by Templeheart), she will feature in Dan Brownlie’s London-based horror thriller The Tombs. She is also currently producing The Foreseen, a supernatural chiller to be directed by Anthony Melton and Ben Franklin.

Away from the camera Marcia has studied the Keysi Fighting Method with founder Justo Dieguez and developed an appetite for vigorous Crossfit training which she continues daily.
