Now we are ready to start. Presenter: Hello everybody and welcome to our daily program Five Minutes With A Star. Today we have Sandra Smith with us, a young heroine of the smashing blockbuster Winter. Hi, Sandra! Sandra: Good afternoon. It's a pleasure to be here with you today. Presenter: So my first question is: what were the first steps of your career? Obviously your role in Winter wasn't your first one, was it? Sandra: Of course not. I've played in a number of smaller skill films, but all of them were high-quality stuff—the stuff of which careers are made. I got noticed after spending three seasons in a sitcom playing a disobedient daughter. Now critics say my work in Winter, portraying a character who is at once youthful, innocent, maternal, child-like, compassionate and with an almost poetic restraint, has signaled my true arrival. These comments have inspired some not-so-subtle murmurs of Oscar-worthiness along with them. Presenter: So what's your story right now? Are you headed off to do another movie? Sandra: I've got a bunch of things going on. I'm doing a movie called The House. But you know, whenever I really want a part, I'm not sure what to do. How do I let the director know how obsessed I am and willing to do anything for the movie? Once I wrote a director a handwritten note, but I'm afraid to scare directors off if my behavior is too straightforward. Presenter: I don't think it should scare directors off. Sandra: If I were them, it wouldn't scare me off—definitely not. I think if anybody comes to you and says, “I'd like to be in your film,” it's never good to dismiss them or make fun of them because they're passionate and driven enough. They very well might find a way to be in your film. Presenter: I see. When you go from movie to movie, do you do so with a larger plan in mind or is it really just about what speaks to you in a given moment? Sandra: Both. I mean I'd like to think that I have a plan, but you can't really pick what scripts you're going to get or what movie is going to come along. So I'll have the idea of like, “Well maybe I should do something lighter now” or “Maybe I need to do something with a bigger budget.” It's more about whatever script speaks to you and whatever part is available to you in any given moment because you don't really have the kind of control where you can plan. But I suppose you can have a general idea of where you want to go. Presenter: Can you see any pattern in the choices you've made and the parts you've been attracted to? Sandra: Yeah, they are all dark. And I think there's something of an artistic value about them. I know certain roles are important to me. I know that I really want to play them and I know I can do a good job. It's just I can't put it into words and it may seem it's an accident. And actually none of it is an accident really. Presenter: That may disappoint your fans. Sandra: I don't want to disappoint people. Maybe I should just say, “I'll know in ten years.” I honestly think there's something to being curious about anyone's choices. Sometimes you really don't understand why something is important to you until you get halfway through the movie or maybe even all the way through or until you see the finished film—like it was with the film Winter. Presenter: And finally, what do you like about Winter? Sandra: God, I love that movie. It's just such a beautiful film. I love the fact that there isn't this big narrative plot. It allows the characters’ lives to sort of unfold in front of the camera. Presenter: Thank you, Sandra. 5. What does Sandra do when she wants a part in a certain film?
