CYPRESS CREEK - FEATURE FILM


SHANON SNEDDEN ON THE SET OF CYPRESS CREEK
What character did you play?
SHANON -
"My character's name was Jordan. She is one of the four girls who go on a trip to this cabin. Each of the girls are very different, and Jordan is pretty down to earth, sensible, and adventure-loving. She was a fun character to get to play."
How did you prepare for the role?
SHANON -
"It was really fun preparing for this role, because I had to get into many different mindsets. It was probably the easiest to get into the mindset of a normal girl who is excited about going on a trip with her friends. However, the most fun part, was preparing for the horror that came afterwards. Making myself scared was pretty easy, because I get scared very easily. Anyone can just imagine the twisted stuff that the writer wrote for this film, and instantly get scared. I won't go into too much detail about the mindset that I had to get into further in the movie, but that was so much fun to play around it. I enjoyed having my character being completely transformed by make-up effects and blood. It was not hard getting into character while looking terrifying and being covered in that much blood."
How difficult was the shoot and being covered in blood nearly every scene?
SHANON -
"Luckily, I did not have to be covered with blood that much. Jessica Willis' character was covered in blood almost every day, and seeing what she had to go through, I could only be thankful that I didn't have it as bad. Really though, besides sticking to everyone and everything, being covered in blood isn't so bad!"
Any odd stories to tell about from filming?
SHANON -
"Let's just say that there was so much blood being used and played around with, that there was actual choking on blood involved, and drowning. Also, after filming around 4am and going out to eat in what's left of our bloody costumes and makeup, was pretty amusing. By the way, the waitress did not care that there was blood running down my head."
