MyAnimal Interview: Bobbi Salvör Menuez & Jacqueline Castel Preview Sundance Premiere
director Jacqueline Castel and star Bobbi Salvör Menuez about the supernatural queer romance drama’s Sundance premiere and filming in Timmins, Canada.“Heather, an outcast teenage goalie, longs to play on the hockey team of her small northern town. She meets and falls in love with newcomer Jonny, an alluring but tormented figure skater,” says the synopsis.
With Sundance coming up, what’s your excitement level for the premiere? It has to be so exciting to be a part of such a fantastic festival.Yeah, I mean, I don’t know if it’s all hit me yet, because I was finishing the movie up until last Wednesday, so it’s like we got our DCT and the [quality control] done last Wednesday, and then I immediately flew home to New York from Toronto. Then I’ve just been like, prepping to get ready to leave.
Jacqueline, I love the small town setting. Can you speak to why you went in that direction? I think it gives the film a very distinct feel.: I think that was inherent to the script itself. But I also grew up in a lot of weird places. I’m American, I’m also Canadian, I’m also French, I had family that … we kind of moved all over the place. I grew up in small towns like Topeka, Kansas, and Reno, Nevada.
So I see the location itself as a character and I was really specific on my location scouts to find a world that really felt true to what I was trying to capture in this kind of lost-in-time location. I don’t know, I think that’s a really interesting place to jump off from in terms of shaping the world that your character is living in.: You didn’t have to fake that feeling of like, “this is a tiny little world and there’s no escape.” Like it was, it was really felt, and the intensity of winter.
