FA: First of all, thank you so much for be-
ing on JAMO, Tell us a little about yourself
and what is keeping you busy nowadays?
LB:Thank you for having me! Currently,
I’m, working on a book, and I’m about
to start filming a project that I can’t talk
about yet, but I am super excited to do it,
and (sigh) lots of school!
FA:Tell us about your web series “DIRT”
second season? What should we be expect-
ing?
LB: Would you suggest watching the first
season to catch up, or is the second season
stand alone? I have had so much fun doing
Dirt. It’s a show about teenagers, but it’s
set in the world of motocross...so it’s kind
of got something for both guys and girls...
drama, romance and cool bikes! I definitely
think you should watch the first season to
really understand the second season, but
season two does sort of feel like a new show
because it revolves around this mystery
and the stakes are life or death. Whereas
the first season was a lot of high school
drama! This season has a very noir feel to
it!
FA:What makes “Dirt” second season dif-
ferent from the rest of the web series and
from other BRAT productions?
LB: All of BRATs projects are very unique
and wonderful, and Dirt is the show that’s
sort of aimed to older audiences, so that
definitely sets the story line apart. We
deal with some issues that might not be
appropriate for the younger audiences,
which sometimes takes it to kind of a dark-
er place. And cinematically, our show is
shot a bit different. It’s always cool to see
what our amazing director and DP come
up with. They have very specific ideas and
shots that they want to get. It’s much dark-
er, cinematically and story line wise, than
I think some of the other shows, which is
always fun!
FA: How do you describe your experience
while working on second season of “Dirt”?
Being on that set is one of my favorite
things in the world. I get to do what I love
and push myself, and our cast and crew
is so really close, so it’s like getting back
together with family. Acting wise, I really
got to push my limits this season because
Autumn sort of downward spirals, and our
director was so helpful in getting me into
the head-space I needed to be in to portray
her authentically. I definitely grew as an
actor throughout filming this season!
FA: We read that you’re an author, writing
your own book. Congratulations! What
inspired you to be a writer?
LB: Both of my parents are authors, and so
I think it’s in my blood! I also have always
had so many stories in my head that I
wanted to tell, and so I finally decided that
I would do something with them.
