Your new movie Psycho-Therapy
- in a few words, what is it about, and what can you tell us about your
character in it?
I
play Victoria, who is a frustrated psychotherapist trying to find a
logical, sensible way to deal with her self-absorbed patients and her
abusive husband.
She
eventually finds a very logical, simple solution to help everyone,
including herself.
What did you draw upon to bring your
character to life, and how much Suzanne Johnson can we find in Victoria? I
really like Victoria, and I believe she is a genuinely good person who
wants to be respected as a true professional, and really help people. And,
she also desperately wants to be free of all the annoying people in her
life. Who doesn’t? There is a lot of me in Victoria. It was so much fun
to be able to take that crazy path for a little while. How
did you get involved with the project in the first place, and how did you
end up on the producing side of things as well? I
had worked with director Joshua Nelson [Joshua
Nelson interview - click here] in the past, and he thought I was the perfect fit
for the role, and since we work on such a low budget, I wanted to jump in
as a producer because I believed in the film. To
what extent can you personally identify with both Psycho-Therapy's
approach to horror and brand of comedy? I
am not a “slasher” horror film fan. I was very happy that we
approached Psycho-Therapy
as
a fun “thriller” type, with a little “gore” thrown in, and made it
fun.
What can you
tell us about Psycho-Therapy
director Joshua Nelson [Joshua
Nelson interview - click here], and what was your collaboration like? Josh
Nelson is a wonderful director. He is one of the kindest people I know,
and everyone has a great time on set. He has his vision of things but
wants his actors to interpret their own vision as well. I like when a
scene isn’t working, and I can see his mind working to lock down a
perfect solution. Do
talk about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere! The
on-set atmosphere was incredible. There was a lot of laughing, it was so
much fun. Everyone involved was so supportive of each other, and everyone
just worked so hard. Any
future projects you'd like to share? I
believe Joshua has a few projects in the works, and hopefully I will be
able to be a part of them, either acting or behind the scenes. What got you into
acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal training on the
subject? I
work in the corporate world (my day job), and I started taking acting
classes to help with public speaking. I had no idea I would love it so
much! What can you tell us about your filmwork prior
to Psycho-Therapy? Psycho-Therapy
was
my first feature film, but I had done a few short films, and the
experience I gained through those projects helped a lot with my
preparation.

How would you describe yourself as
an actress, and some of your techniques to bring your characters to life? Acting
is the hardest thing I have ever done. I love it, and I work hard because
I enjoy it so much. I like to use my own feelings and memories to develop
a character. Actresses
(and indeed actors) who inspire you? I
like Gary Oldman! Your favourite
movies? I
love science fiction. Any story, in space, I’ll watch (even run-of-the-mill love stories). ... and of course, films you really deplore? Run-of-the-mill
love stories. Thanks
for the interview!
