ENTERTAINMENT Question 15: Here you are making fabulous movies and performances in acting. How did a singing come about and where do you want to take it? A: To be very honest with you I just love singing and I was lucky to meet some amazing people who loved my voice. I am not sure where I want to take it but what I know for sure is I love writing lyrics and working with amazing producers. My songs are doing great for now on Reverbnation so I am happy. Q: What was it like when you won “Outstanding Producing for a Sci-Fi Horror Series” at the LAWEB festival in Los Angeles? A: It was so exciting! The sad part was that I could not go to L.A. to receive the prize, I had some commitment in Toronto. The fact that the "New York Times" mentioned 13 Witches was the best treat of all. Q: What was your inspiration behind “Insanity”? What was the general response to the film? A: I am a big fan of David Lynch, even though I don't always understand his films. I wanted to create a film similar to his style. So Insanity is a journey in the mind of a disturbed woman. The response is great so far we are being screened in 6 film festivals. Q: What new film Projects are on the Horizon? A: YES! I am working on finding the funding for a bigger budget version of 13 Witches. Since the response was so great, I want to create the next chapter. Lots of 13 Witches fans are asking me for the next film (13 witches was created to be a trilogy). We used our own money to shoot the first one and now we want to shoot the next one. We are also in pre-production for a feature called “Art of Life”. 24 Fall 2016 1961 Magazine Q: Recently wrote and interpreted the lyrics for "Let Them Hate", "Une Mangeuse d’hommes" and "I Just Want My Chocolate", three songs produced by Steve Lareau. Why Steve Lareau? A: He is the most talented man in the world. I think it's great to work with someone who knows you and gets you. So I feel that we work great together and I don't need to tell him what I want he just gets it. He is a genius. That's why we work together on ALL my projects. Q: How did you get involved with the Vagina Monologues? A: I auditioned for another play and the producer decided to hire me for the Vagina Monologues instead. I performed this year again in the Vagina Monologues as well. Q: What was it like working on the Vagina Monologs and how was your performance and the play in general received? A: It was so well received! Sold out all the nights that why we did it again. Q: Shoe Blog…..This is the one piece that sort-of doesn’t seem to fit with everything else. Where did it come from and where are you hoping to take it? A: I just LOVE shoes. I think they are jewelry for the feet. I wanted to do a blog just for fun - nothing crazy. So I said to myself why not blog about the best shoes designer of the world.....Let's say it's my hobby.
