Sorrow lead
actress Vannessa Vasquez was recently interviewed by Picture Lock regarding
her role as Camila on Hulu Network’s original series “East Los High.” Ever since her
debut on the show, she has been cast in several films, including Narca and Misfire.
Vasquez said it is her dedication to character that has
earned her the roles, noting that hard work does pay off.
“I really work hard at what I do, and I think directors see
that and other people start noticing that,” she said. “When you work with
people on set and people see you work, they see how much you dive into a
character. People talk, and then they refer.”
Writer and director of Sorrow, Millie Loredo, was one of
the people who noticed Vasquez’s commitment to character and asked her to play
the lead role in her feature film.
“Millie, the director, saw me in a short film that I did,
and she saw something in me,” Vasquez added. “She said, ‘I want you to audition
for this [short] film that I really want to turn into a feature. I need an
actress that has great range, that can help me pull this off.’”
With Loredo at the helm and Vasquez in the lead, Sorrow was successfully turned into a
full-length feature film, which will premiere in select theaters and on Amazon Prime Tuesday, April 21. They will
travel the country to screen the film in six cities in five different states
following its release at River
Oaks Theater at 2009 West Gray St. in Houston, Texas.
“It was kind of a neat project for us to showcase ourselves
and try to get ourselves out there, because we were both very committed to what
we were doing,” Vasquez said. “When you work hard and really focus on what you
want to do, eventually things start falling into place.”
