What first attracted to the role?

Vicky’s sense of humour and the idea of spending a summer in Brighton.

Are you anything like your character?

My friends say I have a sarcastic nature like Vicky, but I think she dresses better than me!

What’s you background?

Normal – no family history of acting. School nerd turned blonde bombshell (just joking)

How did you get into acting?

Through a friend of a friend whilst at university. I didn’t go to drama school. Pursued acting whilst studying for an English and History degree.

What did you draw on from your life for the film?

The uncertainty you feel when you hit your twenties as to what the hell to do with your life.

Why do you think you got the part?

I was approached by Jonathan Glendening who had seen my other film DEVIL’S HARVEST and auditioned in London and Brighton. I must have looked like a drop-out with extremely poor tase in men – which is worrying, as I got the part.

What are your favourite scenes? (& Why?)

The clubbing scene – because what appears on screen is nothing like when we actually filmed – with about 10 extras, no music, etc…

Do you have any stories from the filming of Summer Rain?

Colin’s variety of hats that became necessary to disguise a very bad wig after Paul Maddocks shaved his head halfway through filming (spot the scene with his real hair!)

How does your life relate to the film and subject matter?

I am very experienced in taking ages to dump shit boyfriends (just like my character).

How do you think Summer Rain fits into the whole Brit-flick genre?

By having a gorgeous cast, cool music and blatently avoiding the whole ‘drugs’ issue that other film-makers cling onto in the hope that it will make their film ‘cool’ and controversial.

What was the worst bit of the Summer Rain experience for you?

Having microphones clipped into uncomfortable places!

What was the best bit of the Summer Rain experience for you?

My first scene filmed on the beach – I was there in the blazing sunshine, infront of a big crew, living my dream – it rocked!

Who do you think will like the film?

Young, funny, twentysomethings – or anyone who’s been in a relationship!

How and why do you think people will relate to the film?

Because somewhere in the film is a character that anyone can relate to, the dumper, the dumpee, the mate etc…

Do you think the setting of Brighton was important? (&Why?)

Yes, because a) it looks bloody brilliant, and b) it’s like a little community and, as in the film, it’s easy to bump into the same people (or see the things you shouldn’t).
