Interview with actress Alice Amter, an established film and television actress who has worked with
George Clooney and Benjamin Bratt. Alice performs a cameo appearance in 9909 as a hospital attendant.
How did you become involved with the movie?
AA: I became involved after casting director Ricki Maslar had cast me in another horror film called Penance.
Tell us about your role in the movie.
AA: I play the role of the hospital attendant where Sarah Prescott (Kelly Pendygraft) resides. I preform a cameo appearance in the film, appearing in only one or two scenes. There's very little dialogue and my character is more of a looming presence, keeping a watchful eye on everything. She represents the instutiuion, authority, possibly more.
What is the film about?
AA: I'm not at liberty to say, you will have to go see it.
What was it like working on a low budget film?
Low Budget is always tough but you just deal with it. In a low budget situation I always try to help out by doing my own hair and/or make up or by providing wardrobe (which I did in this movie) and by being very involved in coming up with the look of the character, particulary if there's no or very little dialogue. In this film I wanted my character to look sleek and futuristic and just a tad memacing. I think we succeeded in that.
Where there any interesting obstacles and/or creative quick thinking on the set?
AA: I just had the flu so really I felt lousy the entire time....
Did you learn anything about yourself or others from the experience?
AA: I'm sure I will when I see the film. There's a lot of gren screen in it, so the FX will be interesting.
What was you favorite moment working on the film?
AA: Mary Kate Schellhardt, who plays the Reporter, and I just kept cracking up in-between takes. I dont even remember why.
