What did you think when you read the script?
I was intrigued and I couldn’t put it down. I did the nervous laugh thing that a lot of
people do when they first watch it, because you want to laugh at certain bits that you
really think you shouldn’t.
What made you take the role?
I really like Val’s character because on the outside she comes across as tough, but she
is vulnerable at the same time, which I can relate to. I thought she would be a very
interesting character to play and I could see myself playing her as soon as I read the
script.
Any great on set stories?
We had to go out and practice riding our bikes whilst being supervised and Kevin got
told off quite a bit, I don’t think he did his cycling proficiency at school.
Do you have a favourite genre of film?
Action or comedy….depending on my mood.
How long did the film take to shoot?
About five weeks. Went very quickly though.
What was it like working with Kevin Bishop?
Entertaining.
How do you prepare for doing a film?
I always do lots of research on the team involved so I have an idea of the style, and
even more research on the characters and the story. For ‘May I kill U?’ I read up
on serial killers, rode my bike a lot and chatted up the rather attractive policemen at
Sloane Square station on the way to my audition to ask them questions, and I also had
several conversations with a female officer from my local police station, who was
very helpful.
Do you think horror and comedy naturally work well together?
Yes I think horror and comedy can work really well together-particularly dark
comedy, and there is a place in the market for it.
Do you think that the roles for women in film are improving?
Yes, I think roles for women are improving, but there are still many more roles for
men than there are for women.
What’s next for you?
I’m currently playing Katia in the action web-series ‘Next Global Crisis’, and Delilah
Crunch in the spin off ‘The Fail-Safe Sisters’.
