Im obsessed with those old romance films. I also would love to venture into the silent film world. I think thats extremely compelling and interesting and really relies on the acting, even more so than when you have an actor speaking.
I studied cinema at the university so I had a very classical approach to it. I studied all those silent films, and then the films from the 1940's, the Nouvelle Vague, the late Hollywood films. Now I realize, as a young actor, that it's one of my duties to actually be aware of what is today's industry and today's next big directors.
The military has a very long relationship with Hollywood that dates back to the silent film era.
Now I’m the go-to-girl for silent films.
A film, since it is primarily a visual medium, should really be like a silent film. You should be able to watch something and understand what was going on and use voice when you need to communicate something you can't necessarily communicate visually. The book is the opposite. The book is an inner monologue which is beautiful.
