After talking with a few minutes
its easy to see this is one
scream queen who is taking
charge. Shes smart,
determined, and nobodys
victim.Owen:
How did you get started as a
Scream Queen?
Pamela:
I worked a lot of
different jobs in the performing
arts and then eventually
auditioned for B-movie related
jobs and it started from there.
Owen:
Have you always been a fan
of the horror genre? If so
what are some of your favorite
movies?
Pamela:
Ill always remember seeing
the original 'Exorcist'.
It scared me a lot. But
Im not really a fan of
horror. I like a lot of
different genres of movies if
theyre good. But
believe it or not, the movies I
fall asleep to are action movies.
Owen:
What are your best and worst film
experiences to date?
Pamela: The
worst experiences that always
occur (still) are the attack of
mosquitoes when working out side
and in the woods. No matter
how much Off you use their still
there. Chiggers
are another insect
attacker. They get inside
your skin and itch for
days. Nothing is worse. The
best experience Ive had
recently is shooting the first
fight scene for my new movie,
Transformed. I have
pro-martial artists working on
the project and the finished
edited version is awesome.
Im amazed at the
outcome. That is myself as
the director, not the actress. I
also have fight scenes as the
actress and Im looking
forward to the finished version
of that as well.
Owen:
What's the most challenging thing
you have ever had to do in a
movie to date?
Pamela:
Its always the
same, the bugs and being cold.
Plus, I just hurt my thumb in a
fight scene. Nothing in
particular stands out.
Owen:
Whats the most gruesome way
you have ever died on screen?
Pamela:
Probably that clip that
circulated the Internet a few
years back from Jacelone
Productions. I didnt seem
like much when we shot it, but
after editing and with the acting
included it made an impact on the
audience. It looked so realistic
that it caused controversy.
Owen:
Tell me about the controversy.
Pamela:
It seems the clip of me getting
shot in the head looked so
realistic that some people
thought that it was. At one point
they played it on Howard Stern
and had a discussion about it.
Owen:
What is something that makes you
scream in real life?
Pamela:
Mice running through the house.
Owen: Do you
have any secrets for letting
loose with a really effective
scream?
Pamela:
I sing so for me it just comes
out.
Owen:
The Gosh Darned Mortgage
is a homage to the 1920s serials
such as the 'Perils of
Pauline' what was
your favorite
"peril" in the
film?
Pamela:
The buzz saw scene came out the
best. Men probably like
that one the best too because
its the most revealing.
Owen:
So now that you are directing
Pamela, what have you learned in
front of the camera that has come
in valuable behind the
camera?
Pamela:
Since Ive been directing,
shooting, editing etc. I found
most of my experience to make a
good product came from me as an
editor, not an actress.
Thats were you see what it
is you have to work with. You
realize what works and what
doesnt involving
continuity, composition, camera
angles and the acting. I think I
became a better actress from
being a dancer. It helped my
improve skills and natural
movement in front of the camera.
So one skill always feeds
another. The more you do the
better off.
Owen:
If someone were to come to you
asking advice about getting into
the business what would you tell
her?
Pamela:
Have a backup plan. It isnt
a career until you can make
enough money to support you. And
thats tough with any kind
of acting.
Owen: Do you
have a personal affinity
or connection with any
monster or creature?
Pamela:
I believe there are spirits all
around us. I know when they
occupy a house. I half sleep and
see them all around me. One time
one went into my body from my
boyfriends old house. I
went home and then had the same
crazy dreams the next day and
felt it leave my body.
Owen:
What are you working on
currently?
Pamela:
Im excited about the
release of the Zombie movie I
worked on this past summer called
Swamp Zombies
Its a zombie martial arts
movie that has pro-wrestlers, The
Blue Meanie, Dan Severn and
Jasmin St Clair acting in it.
Lots of effort was put into
this production and I think it
will do well. Check is out at http://www.killerwolffilms.com/ Im
also excited about the release of
The Deep Undead
from http://sharkeyvideo.rocks.it/ It took
some time to finish this
production but all good things
take time. Im most excited
about the new movie from my
production company Transformed
see it at http://www.sirentales.com/. Its
a sci-fi type flick with
transformations, morphing,
martial arts and sexy women.
Its in production now. I
should soon start to post
photos and the progress of
it on the Siren Tales website.
