Movie She Was So Pretty

TA – Jason Tostevin was actually the one who suggested I audition for director Brooklyn Ewing. I hadn’t met her, but I’d heard of She Was So Pretty and the recognition it was getting, including Brooklyn’s best director award at last year’s Nightmares Film Festival. I made arrangements with her to submit a video audition, but in

addition to reading the sides for Hope, Brooklyn also wanted me to show some emotional reactions: having my mouth taped, being tied up, etc. But, the weekend I needed to shoot and submit the audition, my boyfriend’s daughter, who was 7 at the time, was staying with us. This kid had nightmares about Slimer from Ghostbusters, so I knew that if I performed these emotional scenes even halfway decently, she might be upset or disturbed. I messaged Brooklyn about it, and she

was super cool and understanding, and we were able to make arrangements to get it submitted without potentially scarring anyone for life. I was grateful to her for that, and it showed me that she’d be the kind of person I’d want to work with.
