If It Did Exist

Harry Potter alum Bonnie Wright sat down with Total Film and talked to them about her directorial debut short film Separate We Come, Separate We Go and her new film In Want Of A Wife.

On her short film: “’I’ve learnt so much from doing that short. I really respond to putting myself out of my own depth and finding my feet. That idea of going for it – there’s nothing else to lose – the story paralleled the process of making it.’”

On her new acting gig: “’I play a character called Lydia, it’s set in the late 1700s and she starts as a eloped young daughter of a clergyman. She’s eloped with a lieutenant and they go into what you think is a little hotel but she wakes up to find the lieutenant is gone and she’s left there alone and the hotel is actually a brothel.

She’s trapped. She has to pay for the night before that she’s spent with the lieutenant, she can’t go back to her father because she’s eloped – it’s basically how she has to turn to prostitution. ‘“

In other news Bonnie has opened her own production company called, Bon Bon Lumiere. The company is hoping to release more short films later this year.

Wow, Bonnie is really making moves! She is currently at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival promoting Separate We Come, Separate We Go!
