Below is an interview that we recently conducted with Ms. Graham.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HORROR MOVIES?
Oh, where do I start? I love movies so much!!! I love old fashioned slasher flicks like FRIDAY THE 13th and
HALLOWEEN. They still scare me to death. I'm a huge fan of David Lynch as
well. The big budget alien movies are a lot of fun, too. ALIEN, CLOSE
ENCOUNTERS, ET, FIRST CONTACT, INDEPENDENCE DAY and, of course, the end all
to be all of all sci-fi movies, STAR WARS. I think it's because they're
more fantasy than reality-you can pretty much assure yourself that what happens
in the movie won't ever happen to you. I'd rather find myself on an alien
vessel than be trapped in Jeffrey Dahmer's basement!
WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST EXPERIENCE YOU'VE EVER HAD ON A FEATURE?
The weirdest experience, huh? Hmmmm, I've had a few…I would say eating in the
restaurants in Akron, Ohio while shooting Bookwalter's POLYMORPH and my cameo in
BLOODLETTING. They actually have potato chips listed as an appetizer on the
menus out there. Weird! What can I say, I'm a spoiled New Yorker. Also,
holding a handful of meal worms for ALIEN AGENDA: OUT OF THE DARKNESS was
weird and disgusting an experience I do not wish to repeat. As for VICIOUS
SWEET-I felt like the character was written just like me. Except for the
fact that, thank God, I've never been abducted.
YOU'VE GOTTEN YOUR START IN MOVIES THROUGH LOW-BUDGET PRODUCTIONS. DO YOU SEE YOURSELF WORKING ON THEM FOR A FEW MORE YEARS?
Absolutely! Low budget movies are great, in the fact that everyone
is involved for the love of the film. Trust me, you can't get a crew member or
actor to give up their weekend and spend ten hours on a set for little or
no pay if they don't absolutely love the fact that they are making a great
movie. Look at CLERKS, BROTHERS McMULLEN and WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE.
America is finally ready and willing to accept low budget films. I think
there is much more room to take chances, break the rules, and create a
really fabulous film when you're doing an independent feature.
