Cristina Ricciardi Interview

Q: How did you become associated with this project (Flowers For The Dead)?

A: I was browsing through craigslist looking for for some modeling and acting gigs and I came across Joe's [Barbarisi] post for FFTD.

Q: What made the movie appealing to you?

A: I thought that playing a part of a zombie was pretty appealing.

Q: Have you acted in horror films before?

A: No this was my first time acting in any movie. And hopefully not my last.

Q: Which ghoul(s) did you play in the film?

 

A: Lady Death is my ghoul name. I was a ghoul at the end of the movie where all the zombies are trying to get the main character.

Q: How did you like working as a ghoul?
 

A: I had a blast! I would play the part of a zombie any day!

Q: I know that you had to put on your own makeup. How did you learn how to do makeup and how long did it take to apply each day?

Q: How did it feel to work in a real cemetery?

 

A: It was fun. We had a few of funny moments, such as a gravestone accidentaly getting knocked over. Cemetarys are great, very peaceful atmosphere.
