    Daisy Ridley shot to global fame for her portrayal of Rey in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. Since then, she has been choosing diverse roles that showcase her talents in films with wide ranging budgets that prove her north star is the quality of the work and nothing else. She has three films that have come out in this year alone—“Sometimes I think About Dying,” “Young Woman and The Sea”, and her latest, “Magpie.” On this episode, she explains how coming up with the idea for “Magpie” and building her character from the ground up was an interesting exercise in multiple ways. She makes a compelling case for why not all actors can be objective enough to give notes on a film, talks about the ways her process changes when she has to do an accent, ponders the healthy amount of worry and uncertainty that surround her return to the character of Rey, and much more.

  • Marianne RendĂłn

    Marianne Rendón

    · Back To One

    Marianne Rendón’s performance in “Summer Solstice,” Noah Schamus’ “modern twist on the buddy comedy from a queer and trans perspective,” is special in such a rare way that makes shinning a light on it actually detrimental to its effect on the new viewer. Its revelations are small and imbedded in the nuances of the character. It’s how they seem rooted and not created, “lived” and not “played,” that make them extraordinary. On this episode, Rendón takes us back to her training, and how being fed great experimental theater before the classics resulted in a kind of “reverse engineering” of her foundation. She details the effort it took to let go of a quality she used to think was her only real strength. She talks about the importance of “cluing into the rhythm of the writer,” dipping back into asking sensory questions through “method” (in its true meaning) approaches, working with “the texture” of life, “living on camera,” how “space informs everything,” and much more.

    “Summer Solstice” is available to stream on August 16th.
