Introduce your character in the film.
Pops and I have quite a lot in common in terms of character. She is a little more emotionally intense than I am, and her actions are a little more extreme than mine usually are. The description that suits her best is "the centre of attention", because she is too colourful to go unnoticed in a crowd.
How did you prepare for the role? What was the process like?
The process of bringing this character to life relied mainly on getting to know her personality and the smallest details of her everyday life. That helped me understand how she would react in a particular situation so I could bring that response out of myself in the most truthful way.
Did your experience at the Film Academy for Talents help you during filming?
Yes, because they gave us the foundation everyone needs if they want to work in film or theatre. They taught us how to turn characters into real people. The atmosphere at the school itself put us at ease so much that we became far more relaxed and open in our personal lives. The anxiety disappeared from our minds, or at least decreased drastically.
How did it feel to be with everyone else on the team during filming?
It was a wonderful experience that gave us the chance to spend a lot of time together over a short period. It had a positive effect on us all. We bonded and felt brave and secure, because we grew close in an incredible, unique way.
What is the coolest thing you will remember about the filming process?
I will certainly remember a few particular moments because they were quite spectacular, but whenever I think of filming, I hear our director Natalia Dukova’s voice asking, "Are we set?", "ACTION!" and, of course, "The boom is in the shot!!!"
