1. How did you get into the industry?
I had been an actress/model since I left school at 16 doing little parts for TV/Pop Videos and glamour shoots to earn my rent, and I was living at the time with Tim Pope who was a film director filming bands and directed the Crow 2. I was always on the sets with him making the stars tea and being put in parts as an actress, those days were really good I learned a lot about in front and back of camera… sadly our romance didn’t last and at 19 found myself on my own trying to find acting work..
2. What Scream Queen inspired you most?
I loved carry on screaming with Fenella Fielding, but my big favourite was Sheila Keith in Driller Killer, and found I wanted to be in horror movies as I loved all the 80s and early 90s horror films, so much so, I met Nigel Wingrove and set up Redemption films making and distributing Horror.
3. What are the next couple projects you are working on?
Now a days I am still in Horror. I write, direct and star in Horror Movies and I have just made 4 feature films to date, and have 4 more scripts which I have written and will direct this year and next 2016. The four I have just made are being scored at the moment..we have Vampires, Witches, mad men, and ghosts…The new scripts I am filming our about Demons, VooDoo Vampires, Werewolves and Felicity Blaze, a girl not in her right mind!
