Celebrating Mothers everywhere, let's introduce you to our wonder 'mum' of the movie, Mareeka. Played by Tanya Horo – who is also a fab mum and managed to care for her gorgeous daughter and play the lead in this movie - which is no mean feat!
Here's what Tanya had to say about the filming...
Why you got involved in Z-Nail:
I heard about the auditions through my sister. Her son was auditioning for the character of Malachi and I thought I'd find out if there was something I could audition for. Angela [Curtis] sent me through the script and after reading it I decided that I wanted the role of Mareeka!
I loved Mareeka's tenacious spirit, her desire to do things the right way and her strength to not let go of her ideals, even if others disagreed with her. Outside of Mareeka as a character the script was a beautiful read. All of the characters were integral to each other – there wasn't one more important than the other. Many threads make a weave and this was how this script read. It was, and is, a wonderful script.
A description of your job:
My day job... my job on the film ... what job?
When you do what you love I don't think it's fair to call it a job ;)
Most memorable moment from filming:
This is hard as there were many...
I think one was at the cast reading and having this overwhelming sense of being involved in something unique and quite special.
The other was the realisation that everyone on this film was in it together. We had all dedicated our time to create this project, and doing it for free somehow brought us all together as one. It was a wonderful energy.
Also Vanessa Rare. Watching her as an actress - that was incredibly memorable. She's a strong woman that one!
Being able to work with Erroll Shand who is an incredible actor; Paul Ballard; Chris Matthews - wow, just everyone.
Biggest learning from filming:
To prepare as an actress even if you only have one scene to shoot that day - mental prep is everything. Don't get too cocky and think you've got it covered because as I learnt ... you haven't!
Best quote from the shoot: 'Anyone want a pie?'
Shout out to a Favorite sponsor:
Bella Vi - I love your make up!
All the sponsors were great, but as it's a 'shout out' - Bella Vi.
Awesome make up for film and just for general use. That and the fact that my 2 year old daughter will forever will call Kelly (make up artist) 'Kelly lippick, Kelly lippick.' She is also a fan of Bella Vi ... specifically the lippick.
