GOOD MORNING! I’m racing off to Wrong Way Recording Studio for the last round of post-production on The Great Divide. Which premieres at the gorgeous McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland, Oregon NEXT WEEK!!! (Please get your tickets here, cuz you ain’t gonna wanna miss it!)
But before I go, I have to share this wonderful 59 seconds with Crystal Lemons, one of our movie’s coolest, most charmingly kickass stars.
Crystal plays Freyja, a sardonic former Riot Grrrl icon hungry for a comeback, and the latest addition to Gray’s entourage. Freyja’s waaaay too cool for this funereal room, and also brings her own cocaine. All building up to a musical moment of truth, which Crystal is hilariously censored from revealing in the footage you’re about to see!
Crystal was the first classmate I recruited when I ran my first scenes at The Actor’s Lab. She’s an incredible actress, and an absolute joy to work with: smart, tough, seasoned, intuitive, and talented as hell. I would trust her to have my back in any cinematic situation. And like the rest of this gifted cast and crew, I can’t wait to work with her again.
On top of all that, she’s also an Executive Producer on the project, putting her money where her mouth is. AND she personally designed the scoreboard for POOPO, in one of the film’s most delightful scenes. Going above and beyond the call of duty, and rockin’ like nobody’s biznis? That’s our Ms. Lemons to a t! THANK YOU, CRYSTAL!!!
