“Never feel guilty about doing something that makes you feel happy.”
Bookclub – Student short film
Directed by: Annie Cartwright and Nathan Morris
Written by: Annie Cartwright and Keeden Hendriks
In our third year at university, one of the most inspired short films produced was Bookclub, in which I had the delight to play the character, Millicent. She is a well-groomed, rich, villainess who enjoys killing her husband(s) when she becomes bored with them. It was a great opportunity to play around with the mindset of a villain, despite the comedic tone of the film. I also learned how to build upon audiences the first impression of the character; allowing them to make assumptions based on her appearance, and build on those assumptions to convey her deviousness. Millicent is a character that’s memorable for me as I greatly enjoyed bringing her to life, and felt I learned a lot while inhabiting this role.
