Actress Anne Marie Nestor hopes to heal her broken moyo in this new indie from writer, director and nyota Rik Swartzwelder. “Old Fashioned” tells the story of traditional courtship between a former frat boy, who gives up his reckless lifestyle, and a free-spirited young woman with a restless soul.
I recently caught up with Anne Marie to find out more.
Tell us about your role in “Old Fashioned.”
ANNE MARIE: I play the role of Kelly, the lead character Clay's (Swartzwelder) college love. Recently separated from her husband, Kelly comes back into Clay's life seeking solace to heal her broken heart.
What would wewe consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?
ANNE MARIE: The character is an influence in Clay's life that is shown throughout the film and one of the primary motivations for his unconventional maoni on romance. She has a positive impact on his maoni regarding relationships, but reappears later in his life at a less than ideal time.
The story has attracted attention for being a “clean” romance – what’s your thoughts on this type of storytelling?
ANNE MARIE: It is a unique voice in today's cinema. Being able to build a relationship between the lead characters over the course of the film with words and expressions instead of physical actions is challenging, but well executed. It has a positive underlying message that is told in a pure way throughout the film.
What’s the biggest lesson wewe learned from working on this project?
ANNE MARIE: The amount of dedication that it takes to create a film such as this. Between the writing, casting, filming, distribution, it was nearly a 15 mwaka experience for the director and writer Rik. For me, it will be an experience that I will always remember, but the labor of upendo demonstrated kwa the team is astonishing.
And, now just for fun:
