🪓MEET THE CAST🪓

2 sunsets away until The Trade is released on YouTube! Meet our leading lady, Isabel Siragusa and hear about her experiences on The Trade!

🌵What was your favorite part about filming The Trade?
🤠I'm from Sacramento so it was fun to do a project close to home. The entire team was great to work with and Trevor was an amazing scene partner. Finally, I loved the character!
🌵Tell us a little about Mary, our Wanted Criminal. How do you think she’s been managing as a woman on the run? Is she tired of the life or is she determined to stay free?
🤠Mary is a woman taking control over her own life. I don't like thinking of her as a criminal—she's a survivor. She was protecting herself. And while being on the run is dangerous, it's far better than what she had with her husband. She is definitely determined to be free. So much so that she's willing to risk death out in the wilderness rather than face prosecution. 
🌵If they made a movie of your life, who would you hope would be cast as you?
🤠Such a hard question. Can I play myself?
🌵What are you working on next? Where should we look out for you?
I just finished shooting a full-length feature called Pater Mater and in October I'm doing my first live in-person play since the pandemic! It's a beautiful play called Somewhere by Marisela Treviño Orta. Don't miss it if you're in the Bay Area. 

Be sure to watch out for Isabel’s future projects! Don’t miss her first role with Red Axe in The Trade, coming 09.10.2021!

🪓MEET THE CAST 🪓

T-Minus 3 Days until The Trade is released!!! Meet our leading man, Trevor Nagle and hear about his experiences on The Trade!

🌵What was the most challenging part of filming The Trade?
🤠Most challenging part of filming The Trade was definitely the heat, although that added a sweaty, gritty authenticity that I felt was well aligned with both the Western genre and specifically with Bill's persona and profession.

🌵Bill is a bounty hunter, something that brought in a lot of cash if successful. Do you think this is something he does often?
🤠I don't think Bill is a full-time bounty hunter, although he's taken on that role before. More than anything, he's an opportunist who takes on odd jobs where he can find them. That this sometimes includes bounty hunting is a testament to a skillset developed by living off the land and from his time spent in the Army with the Rough Riders.

🌵Who is someone you’d love to work with in the future?
🤠I would absolutely love to work with Mark Ruffalo or Tom Hanks in the future. Both of them encapsulate wide-ranging acting abilities, as well as incredible filmmaking acumen.

🌵What are you working on next? Where should we look out for you?
🤠Upcoming projects....Before moving (in early October), I got the lead in two short films, one as a Psychiatrist in a psychological thriller called "The Institution" and the other as a serial killer in a horror film. Both should be a ton of fun! Finally, just had a supporting role in a studio film starring Joey Lawrence ("Swim") that was released on Tubi a few weeks ago...so, that's pretty exciting!

Keep an eye out for Trevor’s future projects and be sure to watch his first role with Red Axe in The Trade, coming out 09.10.2021!!

🌲Meet Diana Ramirez who plays Lily in Red Axe’s Film: When the Sun Goes Down🌲

🤖 Who in the cast is least like their character?
I’d say Ryan is probably the LEAST like his character. Gavin is hard-headed and stand-offish whereas Ryan is always willing to lend a helping hand and go above and beyond for others. I honestly don’t believe Ryan has a mean bone in his body.
••
🤖What was your favorite part of making this film?
Getting to make new friendships! I feel like through this process, I really got to expand on both the friendships I already had as well as make new ones. We spent so much time with logistic meetings that by the time we got to filming, we were all already friends and there was no awkwardness. This is such a talented, hardworking crew and I’m so glad I got to work with them all on this.
••
🤖What was the biggest challenge in playing this role?
The biggest challenge was honestly probably the fact that I haven’t done film at all before. Sure, the occasional high school project here and there but I’d never done a short film. And let me tell you, it is completely different from the world of theatre. In theatre, if you have an emotional moment, you do it on stage and then it’s over. One and done. But we have some heavy moments in the script and it was definitely difficult to do the scene over and over in order to get all of the different takes.
••
🤖 If someone was going to make your life into a movie, who would you want to play you?
I...honestly have never had to think about this question. I guess I’d say Barrett Wilbert W**d because she’d be able to handle the various moments in which I burst into song(let’s be real. My movie would be a musical). But I’d also pick Lily Collins. She’s just adorable.

🌲Meet Ryan Gerberding who plays Gavin in Red Axe’s Film: When the Sun Goes Down🌲

🤖Who in the cast is the most like their character?
I would say Diana, she and her character are both very kind and caring and hopeful.
••
🤖 What was your favorite part of making When the Sun Goes Down?
The camaraderie that comes with a project like this. Working toward a common goal with a group of people you like and trust.
•••
🤖What was your biggest challenge in playing this role?
Gavin has a big change of heart in a short span of time, so figuring out where his turning points are and mapping his emotional journey throughout this film was probably the most difficult part.
•••
🤖If someone was going to make your life into a movie, who would you want to play you?
I’ve been told I resemble Freddie Highmoore or Nicolas Hoult, but they’re both much better looking than me, so probably one of them.

🌲Meet Faith Falconer who plays Carmen in Red Axe’s Film: When the Sun Goes Down🌲

🤖What sort of person is going to love this film?
Someone who enjoys B Movies and suspenseful cliffhangers!
••
🤖What was your favorite part of making this film?
Collaborating to write a script was really cool, and filming is always so much fun because then you see your writing come to life. We had a really great videographer, Georgia Agbodjan, who helps bring everything to life as well.
••
🤖What was the biggest challenge in playing this role?
I’ve never acted in something that I’ve written or helped write, so that was interesting and new for me. Also making sure the microphones weren’t in the shot!
••
🤖If someone was going to make your life into a movie, who would you want to play you?
Amy Adams or Emma Stone, but I feel like I look more similar to Amy Adams. It’s a dream of mine that I get to play her daughter in something one day.

🌲Meet Ayanna Anderson who plays Brianna in Red Axe’s Film: When the Sun Goes Down🌲

🤖What’s going to surprise people about this film?
I think people will be surprised that as the film goes on were actually creating a bond through pain, loss, and our own regrets and we might be all we have left and we realize that's worth fighting for.
••
🤖What was your favorite part of making this film?
My favorite part of filming was being able to learn from my cast mates, I was able to see how they work and get into character and to me that was the most rewarding part.
••
🤖What was the biggest challenge in playing this role?
My biggest challenge was having to get into the right mindset my character was in. It was difficult for me throughout filming to get myself to truly let go and just be in the scene.
••
🤖If someone was going to play your life into a movie, who would you want to play you?
If I could have anyone play me in a movie, I'd have to go with Storm Reid. I think she is a phenomenal little actress. She would tell my story beautifully.
