Interview with May I Kill U? Star Hayley-Marie Axe

Posted on by

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’.

 

Circle of Revenge | Film Review

Posted on by

Circle of Revenge started as a web series, and was so popular that it has now been made into a feature film. I went to the screening at The Electric on Portobello Road without seeing any of the web series. The film is a low budget British feature film. Shot on a Canon 60D (which is the same camera I am making my film Prose & Cons on) and a shotgun microphone, what the crew and cast lack in resources and money, they make up for in enthusiasm and talent.

A true depiction of urban life in South London, Circle of Revenge has a strong cast and a sleek, gritty, real-life feel to it. Circle of Revenge has all the makings of a cult classic.

Circle of Revenge The Movie is based in the urban jungle of London bringing what happens on the streets to the big screen. Revenge is a vicious circle that often involves violence, drugs, guns, gangs, the police and the disloyalty that they can generate. Many can relate to the situations in Circle of Revenge. Now their story will finally be told.

J. Valentine & D. Adams directed and also star in the film, a common theme in the film as producers Darren Baba and Katherine Evans, as well as the assistant to producers, Sue Henry, also have roles. This does not mean the roles have been filled in by non-actors though. The parts are played very well. Darren Baba in particular has a very good supporting role and is great in his role. Though it is not really fair to single a cast member out as everyone is great in their role.

Circle of Revenge is a very good British film by a talented production company who have something to say. Go see.

BRAND NEW beactive PROJECT ON A “COLLIDER” COURSE with SCI-FI SUCCESS

Multi-award-winning trans-media production company “beActive” have released another ingenious cross-platform creation, “Collider”, on Monday 4th of June 2012!

The new sci-fi concept will be available in various formats, spanning comics (print and digital), live-action web-series, app/online game, graphic novel and eventually becoming a feature film, to be released in 2013.

The first of the weekly series of eight webisodes are available exclusively on Frost Magazine first and then on beActive’s You Tube channel and stars BAFTA award-winning Scottish actor Iain Robertson of Rab C. Nesbitt and Basic Instinct fame.

The edge-of-your-seat action sees Iain’s character, Peter Ansay, a quantum physicist who is ostracised by the scientific community after issuing warnings about the dangers of The Hadron Collider.

Peter takes matters into his own hands when he breaks into CERN, the facility on the Franco-Swiss border, to sabotage the collider and accidentally transports himself and five others to 2018 where the post apocalyptic world is racked by natural disasters and at war with the “Unknown”. The six time travelers now have to fight to discover how they got there, how to survive and most importantly, how to get back to the present!

beActive’s co-founder and CEO Nuno Bernardo said: “Collider is a real sci-fi spectacular! By transporting the viewer into another dimension we are really able to delve into each of the characters pasts and follow their journey as they fight to return back to their present time.”

Divine White Gives a Closer Look at Acting in Hollywood

Posted on by

Two brilliant British actors – Alison Winter and James Boyle, both of which I have had the privilege of working with- have made a funny and brutal insight into being an actor in Hollywood. I have watched pretty much all the episodes of Divine White, and they are as funny as they are addictive. Anyone who has ever done any acting will watch and cringe. Funnily accurate.

Divine White’s Introduction to Hollywood is a brand new British comedy web series set inside the acting studios of the renowned ‘mystic mentor’ Divine White. We follow 5 British actors on this unique 6 step programme to success. Watch the trailer below and then go to Divine’s website and see more.
