Your upcoming movie Morbid Stories - in a few words, what is
it about, and what can you tell us about your character in it?
Morbid
Stories is a series of short horror films. More Than You Can Chew is the
title of the short I'm in. My character, Morgan is a young woman who is
going through a difficult personal struggle. She tries not to get her
boyfriend Jake involved. His love for her will not allow him to leave her
when Morgan is clearly in need of help.
What
did you draw upon to bring your character to life, and how much Krystal
Pixie Adams can we find in Morgan? And how does one prepare for playing a
vampire even? I drew upon
some real life experiences I've been through. There is a bit of Krystal
Pixie Adams in my
character. For one, Morgan is an artist. A painter just like me. The
paintings in this short are actually some of my very own work. As far as
the typical Krystal
Pixie Adams roles this is very different from anything I have done.
People will get to see a different side of my acting. I figured a vampire
would be more normal looking than expected as to not draw any unwanted
attention to themselves. Morgan is very "plain Jane" looking.
Her eye's reveal that she is in fact an "old soul".
How did you get involved with the project
in the first place? Clint Kelly wrote the
short More Than You Can Chew, with me in mind actually. A big
Thank You goes to Dustin Hubbard [Dustin
Hubbard interview - click here], who mentioned me to Clint! What can you tell us about your
segment's director Clint Kelly, and what was your collaboration like? Clint Kelly was amazing to work with! His vision for this short was
incredible and I think he executed it very well and in such a short amount
of time. It was mind blowing. The cast and crew got to watch a part of the
short that got edited. The entire room fell slight as we witnessed for
ourselves the magic unfolding before eyes. I definitely look forward to
working with Clint Kelly again! Do
talk about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere? The on set atmosphere when filming was incredible.
Everyone put there all into this short. We all had that same let's make
this our best performance ever-attitude. It was pure magick! Everyone from
the crew, the actors and the very talented special effects team put
everything into making this short what Clint had envisioned. Any
other present and future projects you'd like to talk about? Yes!
Look for me in Jekyll vs. Hyde - a Seb Godin film [Sebastien
Godin interview - click here]. Though he did
mention he didn't know what will happen with this film. There's also a
rumour that my scene was extremely disturbing to Seb when he watched it.
As for future projects, we start filming for Meet and Mate in a
month or so. It's a collaboration between Dustin Hubbard and Kii Hornick.
I'm very excited about it, the script is fantastic!
What
got you into acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal
training on the subject?
It's a bit
of a story what got me into acting. This goes back to 2010. I had spent a
couple of years pretty much living at the hospital. My life was the
hospital and my bed. I have gastorparesis, my stomach is partially paralyzed. My GI doctor wanted me to get out and do something,
so did my parents. I met this photographer, Brian Roberts, at a club in
Ybor City at the G bar. He asked if he could take my photo, he liked my
outfit and told me about Florida Modeling Network aka FMN. I got asked to
be in a local music video, Joe Davison was directing and Bob Glazier was
the monster. So Joe Davison remembered me from the music video and in 2012
recommended me to Alex Vincent, he was having a hard time finding a blonde
for his film. So Alex Vincent film House Guest Massacre was my very
first film. I did not have or have had any formal acting training as of
yet. What can you tell us about your
filmwork prior to Morbid Stories?
Prior to Morbid Stories, my film work can be described as sleazy. The
Sleaze Queen of The Sleaze
Box. Very little dialogue, lots of nudity, blood
and gore. It was more of reaction acting than dialogue. Going
through your filmography, one can't help but hotice that many of your
movies are of the horror variety - merely coincidence, or is horror a
genre especially dear to you, and why (not)? Horror is dear
to me. I had a pretty horrific childhood. Horror was my outlet, using it
as a way to over come some of the horrors I've been through. I would like
to do something funny at some point though.
How would you
describe yourself as an actress, and some of your techniques to bring your
characters to life?
I'm really easygoing as an actress. I don't complain and I'm definitely
not a diva. No matter how sick I was. I use a lot of my real life
experiences to channel different emotions and reactions. It's a bit
therapeutic using past experiences with my acting. Actresses (and indeed actors) who
inspire you? Definitely a lot of the talent I've worked with are very inspirational, Frank
Pickarelli, Kelly Helen Thompson, the guy's from We Massacre
Productions,
Pete Girard and Rokki James. These very talented people have been through
so much and have overcome the impossible. I am always so excited whenever
I get to work with these guys!! Also Audrey Hepburn, she had an incredible
hard life as a young girl, and I relate to her in that way. She is an
inspiration. It is believed that she even helped the resistance in World War II. Which is incredibly brave of her. Your favourite movies?

beautiful scenes. ...
and of course, films you really deplore?
Ugh,
I know a lot of people are big fans of the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth
films, like that I'm just not so into. I don't know why. Also I did not
care for the first Deadpool and that's because I really didn't like the
third person narrative. Your website,

@pixie_vonbat Anything else you're dying to
mention and I have merely forgotten to ask?
I
just want to thank all of my fans, I definitely would not have made it
this far without them. I also want to thank everyone I have worked with so
far, the actors, directors, behind the scenes crew, special effects
teams, and thank you for this interview as well. I hope to continue to be
able to act and I really hope everyone enjoys the different side of my
acting in the upcoming films I'm in. Thanks for
the interview!
