Alexandra Bokova biography

The feedback from Alexander Bokov actress Biography for her first role in the Hollywood film by our countryman Alexander Bokova had to wear a mermaid tail, and when working on the image of his heroine - to consult a lot with his mother and is inspired by the Count’s saved dog. The novice actress told the Victory26 correspondent, with which her fascination with the movie began and how the filming process took place.

And soon she moved to California, began to actively participate in the work of various environmental forums of organizations such as Greenpeace and Ocean. However, she did not abandon the dream of becoming an actress. A month after moving to Los Angeles and several rounding rounds, I got a leading role in the "mermaid on land". Of the thousands of actresses, they chose me for this role, ”the girl shares.

The casting was international. Clanses from many countries sent their videos. The selected received an invitation to Los Angeles. Among them was Alexander. I was preparing, I remember, I called on Skype to my mother, consulted with her how to play it better. As a result, everything worked out. ” Often the scenes were shot at several times. 15 hours a day - on the set, very often in uncomfortable conditions.

For example, in ice and often dirty water. I had a giant tail in which I could barely move, but I had to swim in the frames. Between the shooting I just had to lie on the ground or to sit and freeze without moving, in the water, since getting out of this tail is a whole thing that requires the help of several people. ” In work on the image of the heroine, Alexander was inspired by the dog Count, whom the family saved a five -month -old puppy.

And this became my concept of mermaid - the creature of wild, but harmless. Its initial instincts are not violence, although it is physically strong and capable of protecting itself. She is not fixed on revenge, she simply seeks to return to her natural habitat. The difficulty was to truthfully convey its condition, desire, its inner world not through language, dialogue, but expression, the eye, the eye, the language of the body.

” Despite the fact that they shot a thriller, there was a lot of laughter on the set.

This helped get rid of stress and maintain a friendly atmosphere. One of the guards, actor Dryu Moore Unfortunately, a few months ago he died such a joke! There is a scene where he drags me by the legs in the basement. We laughed so much between the shooting of these frames! Very often I had to start again, because he mixed everyone. And the director Jeffrey Grellman was very surprised and praised me for the ability to quickly switch from a smile and laughter to a serious mood.

” She continues to take castings and take theater courses. But then I realized that you still need to study, as in any other profession, even if there is a talent. Therefore, I began to take classes in the studios of Ivana Chabbak, Scott Kalamby. Now I am studying with Sharon Karnik. " In March, another film with the participation of Alexandra will be released.

Also a thriller, but very different from the "mermaid on land." Meanwhile, the girl continues to go through castings and negotiate the nearest projects for a year. I was terribly worried about the fact that newcomers in the film industry are often available only very banal, the same type. I did not want to be squeezed into a certain category. I want to act in very different films and genres.

And this film, this role does not define me in any specific category. She emphasizes both my personality and my versatility. ” Alexandra Bokova Alexandra Bokova.
