Lorynn York: I really liked how the lead character grew up so much by the end of the movie. And I thought it would be so much fun to play the mean girl.

Lorynn York: Well he is an extremely talented director. So, it was great working with him. He is so kind. I also loved that he gave me a lot of freedom on set to throw in some lines of my own! We played around with so many ideas. It was such a wonderful experience working with him.


Question: Could you relate to your character of Kalie, in anyway?

Lorynn York: Yes. As an actor I believe you always have to find ways to relate to your character. Even if your role is a horrible person, you must find the love in their heart.
