20 QUESTIONS WITH FUTURE SCREAM QUEEN JENIFER KELLY

"20 Questions With A Future Scream Queen"

  My email Q&A with future Scream Queen & star of the movie "The Day The World Went Away"  Actress/Makeup artist Jennifer Kelly. 


1. How long have you been an actress? I have acted here and there since 1995.

2.What was your first job as an actress?Ha-Ha, if you count grade school it was a lamb in a play. Otherwise it was for the University of Wisconsin communications department.

3. Which came first being an actress or a make up artist?In college I had to learn both at the same time, but I acted first.

4. What made you decide to become an actress? I decided when I was about 3 years old. I used to dress up, write and act out plays in front of my family. I attempted to sing as well. That was not a good idea.

5. How did you first get involved in movies?When I was in seventh grade, my dad was a big movie fan. We use to watch horror movies and critique them. My brother and I would try to see who could get
scared first.

6. You are currently employed by catchmekillmeproductions, right?I’m not employed in the traditional sense, but I do work with them.

7. How did you end up involved in the process of the companies movie making?I actually met the company’s director on twitter and reviewed one of their movies, The Hog.

8. What was the first job you had with them?I was the Zombie make up artist for them and played a main Zombie in the movie The Day the Earth Went Away.

9. What is the process of being hired by a production company?You must sell yourself to the company. You have to show you are interested in working with them. This takes a lot of time researching and trying to get the attention of the company. Then you have to show your work. After that you must prove your worthy of working with them. If the director thinks you suck, you’re out. So far I think the director likes me or he would have told me to take a hike. Of course at any time I can be out. It is a cut throat business. If I can’t get the work done well or act well, there is always someone better out there.

10. What is like when you work on a movie?There is a lot of down time when you are not acting or applying makeup or prosthetics. I use that time to talk to others on the set, or read the script. I also try to help in any way I can. When you work for a small company you must be multi talented.

11. What type of make up artist are you?My specialty has been zombies. Of course now everyone does zombie makeup. Horror makeup is what I enjoy, but will do fantasy or any other types.

12. What was the first job you ever had as a make up artist?I worked backstage for musicals and plays in Madison Wisconsin. My two specialties were making people look old and applying eyeliner to the men. For some reason they trusted me not to poke them in the eyes. Ha-ha

13. How long have you been a make up artist?I’ve been a makeup artist since 1995

14. What made you decide to be a make up artist?I found I was good at it and it was not difficult to learn. I took a couple of classes in college and really enjoyed it.

15. How easy is it for to transition from make up artist to actress?It’s not hard. However, in the last movie I did, I was still applying makeup to zombies when I was suppose to be acting so it can be a bit interesting trying to get into character when you have no time to prepare.

16. What are some of the differences between the two jobs?I don’t feel as in control acting as I do with the makeup. Applying the makeup I know what the outcome is. With acting, I can’t see the final outcome until after editing. If I mess something up I can’t go back and fix it. I can with the makeup. I can add or make it look different for the camera. Sometimes it is hard to tell what will look good in front of the camera so you have to play with the makeup a bit.

17. If you could work with any actor/actress of your choice, who would it be?Eli Roth, Bruce Campbell, Michelle Rodriguez, Uma Thurman, Quentin Tarantino, however, I would be happy to work with anyone!

18. What is the worst job you have ever had?In film? I have loved all of my experiences which are pretty limited, no matter what happened. There is always something that happens. The most uncomfortable time was when I had a bikini on and had to act like I was at the beach. The temperature was about 35 degrees and the audio kept have issues. By the time I was done by lips, toes and fingers were blue.

19. Do you have a fan club yet?That would be great! I wish!  I have people who follow me on twitter and my family, but no fan club.

20. What would you be doing today if you weren't involved in movies?I do have an actual job. I have two degrees that I put to use but my passion is movies. I am not able to make a living doing movies yet. Until then I have to pay the bills. I would have been a professional dancer though if I would have been able to pursue that.
