This film boasts Lowndes not only in the leading woman role but also as its writer and producer.
Lowndes even wrote and performed music for the film.
She can create the page.
Luckily for her, she’s starring opposite Jesse Metcalfe.
Earlier, you mentioned that you wrote the script four years ago.
What was the process like writing it and then getting it onto the screen?
It was the first time I wrote “The End” on a blank document.
I forced myself every night to write for an hour.
I thought it would be really cool to tell this beautiful story.
That’s great."
As the years went on, I fell in love with the whole process of writing.
I would force myself to write from 9:00 to 5:00, every single day.
I’d break for lunch.
I gave myself a full schedule and this is the second script I’ve sold.
He gave me that opportunity and we shot that movie two years ago.
He wanted me very hands-on and involved.
I’m so overwhelmed by it and we couldn’t have had a better cast.
I wanted him to sing and I was so happy that he did and he was perfect for it.
I thought he did such a great job.
He cared so much.
He kept asking, “Is this exactly what you want?”
It was even better.
I’m over the moon about it, and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.
That’s so nice.
Every day I was telling everyone, “Go team, go team.”
I ended up getting t-shirts made at the end of the shoot that said, “Go team.”
It was sports jersey lettering.
He was great and I think we created something really cool together.
There’s the love story, but I wanted it to feel different.
I wanted it to look [and sound] different.
I think that definitely grounds all of it.
I wanted every performance to feel grounded and real and entertaining.
Tell us a little bit about how you met and how your relationship formed.
I couldn’t have been more excited and he really does care.
That’s really fun to work off of as an actor, especially a writer.
I can’t be doing this."
We recorded that in Vancouver before we started shooting it.
That’s fun to have that done at the beginning.
It sets the tone for the whole thing.
That was before it was the first weekend.
It’s really cool, and I can’t do enough.
I’m so motivated to keep writing and I have been writing a bunch of different genres.
I take it writing is something you really want to focus on moving forward, right?
You’re like, “Oh my gosh, this is the coolest thing.”
This is like these little stories in these characters, now they’re people."
I want to do it all the time.
I can’t work with him enough.
We met, we talked beforehand, but met in person on the location scout.
He was the best director ever to have on board.
I can’t say enough good things about him.
Same with Randall Platt, our [cinematographer] who did the lighting, incredible.
He’s been lighting shows for years and … he’s got a lot of experience under his belt.
Are you able to discuss or tease any other films you might be writing or anything?
Just add some music in there."
[I have] a bunch of other projects in the pipeline.
I’m getting ready to release my first full length album, and I’m really excited.
It’s called “Elemental.”
It’s a real journey and I’m really proud of it.
I’m super excited.
There’s a lot of music about to come out.
I’m very excited.
What can you tell us about the sonic direction of the album?
It’s a blending of genres, in a way.
I really like that as well.
Do we have a release date?
I’m not allowed to say yet, but within the next couple months.
You mentioned “90210.”
Oh, that would be so fun.
I would love it.
That would be very fun.
It really prepared me [because of] how fast these movies are made.
I knew what to expect as far as the schedule goes and that definitely helped.
Also on the TV side of things, what are your favorite series to watch?
Oh, I have so many, but right now I am so obsessed with “Ted Lasso.”
It is so good.
We are currently hooked on that.
We are in Costa Rica trying to get enough Wi-Fi so that we can watch it.
Do you draw inspiration from the other things you watch?
I love “Married at First Sight.”
It’s so good, and I throw “MAFS” nights every Wednesday.
I definitely love “MAFS.”
I’ve also been known to throw “Bachelor” Mondays as well.
It’s an excuse for me to get together with all my friends and cook dinner.
I love reality shows as well.
Are there any that you would want to appear on?
[I’m] definitely not appearing on “Married at First Sight” any time soon.
I don’t think that’s in the cards for me.
What can you tell us about what’s next for you?
Oh, there’s so much.
It’s an exciting process, and it’s like putting your babies out into the world.
That’s how I feel with my scripts and that’s how I feel with my songs.
It’s like, “Oh, here it is.
It’s happening.”
