How did you become involved in WKJL?
I was contacted by the director about the show and sent in a video audition.
Can you give us a brief back story of WKJL?
Ruby, Jess and Alex were best friends from childhood. They grew up on the same street. One weekend at the end of March, Jessica's Mum went out of town and Jess randomly decided to throw a party on that Friday night and invited all her grade. At some point on that night, Jess left her party and was later found dead in a car crash. Alex was found nearby with blood on his hands and was accused of the murder. Ruby jumped to the conclusion that he was definitely responsible and now she hates him for it.
How would you describe the show?
My friends said it was a cross between Pretty Little Liars and Veronica Mars, when I told them about it.
Have you seen Pretty Little Liars?
I watched a few clips on YouTube to a get a sense of the style that WKJL would be made. The show was inspired by PLL.
What was filming like?
Cold! We filmed all of it in winter. We met once a week or fortnight, depending on everyone's availability. Every webisode there is a new character so it was great to work with a whole lot of people.
Do you watch web series?
I had never really seen or heard of any. Since the show, I have looked into some. They're like mini TV shows. I think they're great.
What was your favourite teen drama growing up?
The O.C! I lived and breathed it. I even tried having a Marissa hairstyle haha.
What do you think of your character?
Ruby is determined to find out what happened to her best friend. She's a nice person at heart and is liked at school, but she starts stepping on people's toes as she investigates deeper into Jessica's party and death.
Has filming finished?
Yes. Everything was filmed prior to the show being released.
What can we expect from WKJL?
Drama! Really good drama. Even I got hooked reading the script.
What are your hopes for the show?
That it connects with its desired audience and achieves what it set out to do. And, of course, popularity would be a bonus!
Are you on twitter?
No. But the show has a twitter account. www.twitter.com/WKJL17 or @WKJL17
Keep sending in your questions. Bye for now!
