How did you become involved with Hell's Drifter?  

I heard about the auditions for Hell's Drifter and it sounded like a really interesting film and decided to go for it. It was clear from the very start that this was a serious project and that Totality Pictures were only interested in very committed actors, a fact that was very appealing to me - it makes such a difference to work in an environment where everyone wants to be there and truly want the film to succeed. The audition went really well, I really felt a genuine connection with the character of Angela and the rest is history!!

What was your reaction upon reading the script?  

The script was really different.  The story, the plot and the characters themselves... I was instantly intrigued. I wanted to know everything, especially what happened at the end! It is so full of suspense and twists, its going to make an amazing movie.

What do you think you will bring to your role?  

Angela is this incredibly engaging character, but we meet her at a highly stressful and emotionally confusing time in her life. But despite this and the dire situation she finds herself in, she never negotiates her self-worth or independence. She's a straight talking, self sufficient lady and so am I. I hope to bring that aspect of her to the screen.

What kind of film do you think it will be?

This is undoubtedly a dark film with elements of twisted humour and because of this, I think it's going to appeal to a wide audience, particularly to a young adult audience.
