. At a time when sex and cultural identity were being branded as “national terrors,” the genre synonymous with fear eagerly explored this.
By the time I was offered my first opportunity to step into an existing film franchise, the genre was more daring and experimental than ever before. In 2012, I booked the role of Lauren in Troma Entertainment/ STARZ-Anchor Bay’s horror-satire, which centers around a lesbian couple. At the time, same-sex marriage was not federally legal in the United States, nor in much of the world.
The experience was a uniquely vulnerable one, but the opportunity to work alongside a team of people who valued everyone, regardless of their gender or sexuality, was and still is something that I am exceptionally proud of. When we later premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, we were honored to be named “” by Le Figaro just days after the country legally recognized same-sex marriage.
This is where quality cinema is found—not in box office numbers nor in the opinions of some nudity-seeking Twitter trolls, but in the challenging of our psychological depths and understanding of what it is to be human.
