Sacrifice has become a major theme in the film. Everyone gives up something, or is given up, or lost.
I did too.
When Lauren and I first met to discuss FLiCK we talked about the characters. The women in the film were our topic, and she gave me a gift, or a curse. A choice: which of these women will you play?
I thought about it, but not for long.
I don't think about anything for long.
I wanted Del.
So we created Del. Lauren and I brought her to life, and she brought tears to my eyes.
Del has two mommies.
She is so much me, everygirl, to think of her now still brings tears to my eyes. Her sad life; so much promise. She was a prefect role. I knew I could play her.
But not perfectly.
And then my friend Cyd told me she was moving home from LA. She is younger, more...something. She will be perfect. So Lauren and I talked it over and we offered her the part. She accepted.
I feel like a mommy who gave her baby away to a perfect home. I miss her, but I know she is in good hands.
And then came Jade.
Stay tuned.....
