I just never thought in a million years
that I would be like sharing a kiss on
screen with Adam Sandler Julia Fox I
have a question so I'm caught James is
your very first film which is so hard to
believe so how did you end up in a film
with the safty Brothers and Adam Sandler
I had known them for a really long time
just like the New York downtown art
scene it was like pretty small it kind
of everyone knows everybody's and Josh
kept an eye on me and he always knew he
wanted to do something with me and then
this came up and he'd been talking to me
about it for like five years I was just
kind of like okay sure I'll be in your
movie
I didn't realize like what a big deal it
was going to be how did they talk to you
about it how did they pitch it to you
Josh was just like read the script and
then he would you know ask me for some
direction he would say like you know if
you were in a fight with your boyfriend
like what would you do to kind of talk
him off the ledge the tattoo scene where
I revealed that I got Howard's name
tattooed I actually did that once
yeah which was a boyfriend it was like
the last resort I was like he can't
break up with me after I do this you
know and it worked how close was it to
who you are in your everyday life I mean
it's it's similar to me but at that's
you could say the same for any
20-something year old girl from New York
you know we're like a very specific type
of person very resilient very
independent almost a little desensitize
but it there were a lot of parallels and
what was it like working alongside I
mean Hollywood royalty Adam Sam AIA
first film and he is like your scene
partner yeah I mean it was completely so
random you know like I just never
thought in a million years that I would
be like sharing a kiss on screen with
Adam Sandler you know I grew up watching
all his movies and and he's so
personable he's so humble so they
it was like easy and what has been the
biggest pinch me moment for you as far I
can imagine you just being sprung into
this crazy world of Hollywood and
everyone wants to talk to you now
probably when I saw the movie for the
first time I would have to say that was
like the most nervous I was and cuz when
I got to set the first day I was like
okay well now I tricked all these people
into thinking I can act so you know like
what if I get to set the first day and I
don't know how or like I just freeze up
or something so the fact that I was able
to perform and that everyone loved it is
is like just such a like I just feel so
like validated you know like I can do I
can do anything I really that my mind to
I mean everyone is calling you the
breakout star variety just called you a
scene stealer so what is it like knowing
that you're making news and people are
talking about you as one of the biggest
stars on the rise right now yeah I mean
it is very surreal but in a weird way
like I kind of always knew something
like this was going to happen like I
just feel like I was like destined for
it and it also happened I think in a
really good time in my life like I feel
like if this they had made this movie
when they initially first started the
conversation with me I don't think I
would
[Music]
so what is gonna be your strategy to
stay humble and stay true to yourself
while always you're gonna always gonna
be us all definitely I know nothing can
change me this is who I am
I'm totally unfazed and you said all
these roads led to where you are now so
what were you doing before this that
made you think that you're ready to star
in a movie I mean I'm just an artist I'm
a creative so I hadn't really done
everything from fashion to photography
to writing and then right before I got
the role I shot and directed my own
short film so you know getting the phone
call that then like I got the role was
like it kind of felt like I had my foot
in the door and then the doors kind of
swung open for me yeah this I'm exactly
where I want to be so for the first time
you're also behind the camera he said
you were indirect so is that your true
passion yeah I think so
as much as I do love being in front of
the camera and I love helping someone
else's vision come to life
I definitely love to make my own
fantasies come to life so as a
storyteller you know your producer
directed now you're an actor what are
the stories you want to tell
Hollywood is listening stories that
aren't so much about me my passion would
be to shed light on issues or give
people a voice that don't have one so
for a my my short it was to raise
awareness on child sex trafficking in
Reno Nevada we had gone there with the
intention of wanting to make him a short
film but we didn't know what the story
would be and then we met these girls and
then after talking to their parents and
guardians we discovered this huge issue
huge epidemic going on there that no one
talks about so that's kind of probably
how I'm going to approach most of my
projects just go in with an open heart
because there's stories everywhere hey
