Movie Entrance

SB: We did have good directors. They never bickered or argued, and from an actress point of view, they were really good at giving me exactly what I needed to do the scene. I don’t know how they did that, but they worked really well together.

FR: That’s got to be really important with a movie like this, where in the last 15 minutes of the film, you really get put through the ringer.

SB: Yeah.

FR: Did these guys make it a little easier for you to have to do that stuff?

SB: Oh yeah, every chance they got, they asked if I was okay. And I’d be like, “I’m fine!”

DH, PH: We felt really bad!

PH: Suziey insisted on having her hands tied together!

SB: Like, for real. Because I felt like if they weren’t really tied, I would’ve messed it up, or I could’ve been able to open something, or been able to get away, so tying me up that way, I really am constricted.

BD: And I assume, Suziey, as it's continuous, you were actually bound for your performance.

Suziey: I asked to have my hands actually bound.

Dallas: At first we gave her a plastic tie with the locking mechanism pulled out, so she could get out.

Suziey: I really was struggling for things, and what if I struggled too much and came free, then we'd have to start all over. So I'd rather have my hands bound for real. When I had the gag in my mouth, and I was so upset, I was so into the scene. The end part was really hard.

Dallas: It's easy to take it for granted, but all of her make-up.. it was just her tears that did that.

Suziey: And a real snot bubble too!

BD: That's very brave. It could be taken as a little be exploitative. I mean, a woman, and it's a low budget film, and to bind her and have her go through all that...

Suziey: I was always asked if I was okay all the time. Their biggest concern was me. I felt like I was treated great, never once was I ignored. I had a great time, I never felt like I was being tortured. And I like being the center of attention! [Laughs]
