CFDB interviews Georgiana

= > When did your acting career begin? I felt that it really begun when I booked a role that you had to audition for on a stage. When I opened that door and I realized it’s not a regular audition room, but a side entrance to a big stage with lights an everything, I couldn’t stop thinking that I’ve been tricked because I have stage fright. If I knew it was a stage I wouldn’t sign up for it. Plus the short had announced a big budget and that it was directed by ATAS/Emmy winner Kunal Savkur, so i thought I had no chance to book it, but I decided on the spot that I’ll do my best, I got nothing to lose. So I got the part. And I’ll always remember that stage, but now in a good way. = > What was your first role? What Film? I got my first role in Chicago when called back for a Brazilian villager role in “UFO Files: Brazilian Roswell” for Discovery Channel. It’s exciting watching yourself on TV! = > How were your chosen for your role on “Believe: the Misfit Pawn”? The producers noticed me in the thriller The Vision (2009) I played an unstable woman married for wealth and money so they sent me an email that they’re interested in me reading for a lead character Jezel- a spirited LA groupie type in pursuit of marrying a Rock Star. So I went for the challenge, it was this rainy afternoon in Chicago, and read with Jon Pupilo -who plays Julian, the rock star. The chemistry was obvious, and I loved the part of Jezel, this woman will stop at nothing to be the wife of a rock star. I’ve met director Joel Bunkowske after audition and we talked about the film and my character Jezel and I felt and feel so fortunate to meet them -they are extraordinary talented artists. Later I received an email saying “I have looked at other actors, and I believe pretty strongly in my gut that you are right for this part.” = > What are your dreams for your acting career? Where do you see yourself within the next 5 years? Ah, and I can surely know how to dream better than anyone, haha! I’d love to get cast in a recognizable show on TV and get my little foot into soaps and of course feature films will always be my love. In the future I also see myself involved into charities to help other people reach their dreams too. = > Are you working on any current films that you can share with us about? I’m working on a character addicted to drugs, but can’t say much about this project right now. Another film I wrapped is called “Blood Moon” is in post-production and it’s a dark tale about serial killers, I portray Sarah, a sweet girl who falls in love with the wrong guy buy finds herself begging for her life. The all-star cast also includes Academy Award winner Linda Hunt (currently on NCIS: LA) and John Hensley (Nip/Tuck); Blood Moon recently won best horror film at the 2012 Independent Filmmakers Showcase Film Festival here in Los Angeles. = > Is there anything you would like to share about yourself that you think your audience would like to know? I like browsing antique shops with my friends. I just found out about Pasadena’s antique shops, it’s close to Los Angeles and I love statement pieces for home decor or jewelry. My recent bargain is a beautifully framed mirror –a great fit for above the fireplace. = > Where can people find out more information about you?
