INTERVIEW |

TORREY: My agent. My agent told me about it. Matter of fact, I think I found out through the North Carolina film website. Ya know they put out productions that's comin out and I believe that I saw that this film company called Banzai is doing a production called Bulkhead and over a year ago I was searching on the web before I had an agent and came upon their website and I've always wanted to do a production with them and Bulkhead was the first one I was able to do. to continue on with my life. Plus I felt at the time, that this was probably the best way to get an outlet from reality. L: Sorry that it wasn't a happier thing. T: Yeah, I wished it were a happier thing but what can you do. Ya know, my mom says that the sun will always rise tomorrow L: So had you done any improv before you came into Bulkhead? T: I was studying with the Raleigh Village idiots in Raleigh. A couple years ago I didn't som workshops with them. They was offering some workshops through the Spectator but this was a good opportunity to find out how to improv. I used to watch the show Whose Line is it Anyway and sometimes to be even better at your job you just look to see what people do and I can pick up something here of there. But improv is very hard because you play off one another and you can only do as much as your partner gives you. Ya know, its always got to be a yea, it can't be a no. You got to constantly be with the story and that makes it very hard sometimes when you don't always have a partner who is able to deliver something. But then, who knows. Its all a learning experience. L: So did it intrigue you that the movie was scriptless? T: It was kind of intriguing. I'm so used to working with a script, having some kind of directions, not…I wouldn't mind even working on movie that had a script but the director said hey I want you to improv this certain scene. Hey, that's fine. But the whole movie…after a while, you get tired of running out of ideas. I'm just being honest. Ti gets hard and when you are stuck on a boat for three days in a space tat was no longer that three or four feet I guess. L: Sixteen by four. T: Sixteen by four? Ya know, it gets claustrophobic, it gets tired, it gets hot, and when you only have so much they give you, what your character is and that its something you need to develop, so on and so on. And you are given information that you like and you dislike. But I've just been trained so much to have a story, a synopsis, if you will. But yeah it was a learning experience. Its hard. This was a good lesson for me and I have learned a lot about this experience and I always hop[e to continue to learn different things. I like the range, even the improv, but not to the extent of everything being so claustrophobic in there. It was hard. And I have just lost someone who is close to me and that made it even harder. I really didn't know or feel like dealing with that stuff. Every now and then you want to get away from reality.
