“I think I love the acting side of it because you get to take on this completely different character,” she told Goss.ie.
The Hit Producer tells the story of Katelin (Michelle) a struggling movie producer who gets herself into a tangled web with a gang-lord.
“There are similarities, she is protecting her family as well and I’m a bit like that if anybody went near my family,
“I’d be like do not but I suppose we’re all a bit like that, protect them as much as we can” she added.
The Hit Producer will hit Movies at Dundrum on the 17th of October.
