Widows

COMPANY OR GROUP: Regency Films SHOW: Widows

DIRECTOR: Steve McQueen

Run Dates: June - August 2017 Run Location: Chicago, IL Role: Stand in for Elizabeth Debicki

Working on Widows was a surprising privilege and learning experience. I was contacted by an extras company to work on 2nd team as a stand in for Elizabeth Debicki, who is a tall fair skinned actress like me. Though I was similar in look to Elizabeth, I was far from her perfect body match, so it was a bit of a stretch to use me in any capacity beyond lighting and camera set ups. It was not an extremely interactive 2nd team exprience and we didn’t often need our sides. However, this was an invaluable experience in regards to being on a film set and feeling comfortable in that professional environment. I was in the room with many talented people, including the Cinematographer and Director. I hope I conducted myself in a worthwhile capacity, though I was itching to be in front of the camera the entire shoot! It was a few months long and spanned the city of Chicago, which was an interesting ride, but I think the experience was worth it!
