When you have a script your job is to make that script come to life and try to make it sound like a real person is saying it all.I’ve got the energy of 10 duracell batteries but it is tough. It would be very tough to work like this all the time.
It’s a very nice way of working for that. I like going to places and having the rug pulled from under your feet and I like making the rug be pulled from under other actors’ feet. It’s exciting, my job is acting I love acting.We were both very respectful of each other. On working with Gershwyn Eustache Jnr: It is difficult sometimes, you meet in the morning, have your breakfast then you’re in hair and make up and suddenly an hour later you’ve got to do a very intimate scene.We have good pain, bad pain, grief loss and sadness. I haven’t been through what Maria goes through but I have been through lots of other emotions in my life some wonderful and some painful like everybody has. At times during the shoot he would ask me how I had achieved certain scenes and I kind of don’t have an answer for that.To explore their own thoughts, feelings and their own journey
I would say that at its core the film examines a woman’s right, a person’s right to live their life as they want to. Working with Dominic is fascinating, he’s a bit of a maverick and I like a maverick! Give me one and I’m a happy actress. It was almost like a carrot to a donkey for me because I’ve never worked in this way before so it felt like quite a challenge but I felt confident I could rise to that challenge so long as the woman was in place in my head and in Dominic’s and what she was going through was in place and what she was aiming for was in place. You know what the aim of the scene is, the goal in terms of the narrative and the emotional story but it’s really – get into it, roll the camera and see what happens! It is not scripted and it is shot on a single handheld camera with minimal people in the room – really just the actors and the camera and the boom operator and it follows you around. QUOTES FROM LESLEY MANVILLE ABOUT CO-DEVELOPING AND STARRING IN I AM MARIA Story by Dominic Savage & Lesley ManvilleĮxecutive Producers: Richard Yee and Dominic Savage I Am Maria stars Oscar Nominee Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread, Mum) and co-stars Michael Gould (The Darkest Hour), Gershwyn Eustache Jnr (Small Axe, I May Destroy You), Daryl McCormack (Pixie), Ziggy Heath (Harlots) and Ellie James (I May Destroy You). I Am Maria explores thought provoking, universal issues of identity, doubt and the painful cracks that can slowly form in lifelong relationships. She longs for another journey to find liberation and happiness again. Her 60th birthday sparks clarity, the suppressed feelings of discontent. Feigning happiness in her marriage to John has become too suffocating. #ZIGGY HEATH HARLOTS CHARACTER SERIES#
The third film in the series tells the story of Maria, who is at a crossroads in life.
