Drew Sidorais no stranger to the spotlight.
The group gets together for a Black Greek Weekend celebration on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Bonding with her Line Sisters
I loved “Line Sisters.”
What made you want to sign on for it?
It was a great script.
I read the script, literally read it in 20 minutes.
It was such a page turner.
The character, Dominique, I really connected with her.
I thought she was so much fun.
She was very free spirited, very optimistic, very confident.
I carry some of those same characteristics, so I really connected with her.
I had never done a horror film before.
I’m like, “This is something I would love to tackle.”
We really formed a real sisterhood.
Does that friendship carry on off screen?
What was it like bonding with this group of women for the movie?
You don’t always get that.
It’s a blessing when you actually can build a real friendship.
We became like sisters.
We cried on each other’s shoulders.
We really uplifted each other.
We supported each other.
We wanted everyone to win.
This is an exciting time.
It’s rare [when] that happens.
When you watch the movie, you really feel that chemistry.
Braving the scarier scenes
Like you said, it’s a bit of a horror movie.
It’s quite scary in places.
What was it like filming those tense scenes?
It was really scary.
I’ve done movies.
When you do a kissing scene, it doesn’t always feel as romantic as it translates.
I was like, “Okay, people [will be] around.”
No, people were not around.
It was a closed set.
I had to do a scene with a snake.
That was very frightening because I didn’t know it was going to be real.
I’ve never worked with a snake.
Never held a snake, so that was like, “Okay.
Yeah, we’re making a scary movie.”
It was very authentic.
They made it very real for us.
We worked with the pigeons.
Those were real dead pigeons.
Everything was real in the movie, [including the] maggots.
Are you a fan of thrillers?
Do you have a favorite?
Would you like to make more?
I can’t watch scary movies.
People were like, “How are you doing a scary movie?
you might’t even watch a scary movie.”
This will be one for the books.
It’s really about the content for me.
It’s about the character.
It’s about the story.
Becoming a Real Housewife
You are also in “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
What’s it been like joining that show and being part of that franchise?
It’s been a roller coaster.
It’s been amazing.
I can honestly say it’s allowing me to show the viewers who I am as a person.
You see me in different roles, but really opening myself up with my family.
What it looks like for me to be a mom, and wife, I think that was important.
I really wanted to share that and be vulnerable.
This season, it’s going to be good.
It’s a lot to put yourself out there.
You’re showing the world who you are behind the scenes.
That can’t be easy.
It’s not easy.
Bravo “Real Housewives” fans are die hard.
I love them because they’re loyal.
They give it to you.
I’ll say that.
They definitely keep you on your toes.
Working on new music
You’re also a musician.
Do you have any music news for fans, or any dream collaborators?
I’m actually working on music.
I just landed a distribution deal with eOne.
I am currently in the studio working on my EP.
I have a single that’s dropping.
Actually, you talk about collaborations, my husband produced the music.
We have teamed up and made an amazing record that I’m so excited about.
I feel like now, I’m in a place where I want to do everything in my life.
Everything’s about timing.
Right now, I am working on music and I’m super excited.
I’m nervous, but I’m excited.
You’ve got everything going on.
You’ve got movies, you’ve got reality, you’ve got music.
We’re not leaving crumbs on the table.
We’re taking everything.
You have to, life is short.
Sitting around, waiting for a job, it’s not okay when you have a family to feed.
I’ve been creating content, writing scripts.
I have a production company.
I’m doing music.
Now is the time.
I know it was a long time ago.
I’ll never forget working with Madonna’s choreographer.
That, for me, was everything.
If you could make another one, that would be great.
Can you call somebody hey?
I’m ready for it.
What are they on, “Step Up 10” now?
It took on a life of its own and it was like the little engine that could.
It was a little cute movie, and it really took on a life of its own.
Yeah, there’s so much content out there.
I am most excited about the content I’m creating.
I’m in Atlanta now, so I am definitely wanting to work with Tyler Perry.
I keep saying it, putting it out there in the universe.
[There are] so many different filmmakers.
50 Cent is doing this thing.
Really, it’s creating my content.
I have a movie dropping that I executive produced called, “And You Call Yourself A Christian.”
It’s [from] my production company,Eudora Entertainment.
I’m excited about giving other people opportunities to get on camera and get on screen.
