Meet the Cast & Crew: Brittany Flurry

How did you get started in acting?

At three years old I started telling people I would be an actress when I grew up. I began studying more seriously at the age of 12 and have been pursuing it ever since. ​

How did you first get involved in the short?

Molly approached me with the script early on in her writing process, and I fell in love with the idea. And the message. And the character. When she asked me to play Maya I was floored. Completely honored, but absolutely floored. It's been a privilege and joy to watch the piece evolve and I'm so excited to help bring it to life. ​

How has its message about finding yourself through breath affected you?

I live with PTSD and anxiety, and going back to my breath and mindfulness has made this manageable, and has made my life better. Taking myself back to my breath roots me in the present... and what's actually happening in this moment, not the noise and patterns my brain creates.

What do you think about crowdfunding on Seed & Spark so far? Best parts? Worst parts?

I love that Seed & Spark is specifically for filmmakers. I feel supported and part of a community instead of sort of shouting into a void, like I have felt with crowdfunding in the past. ​

When do you feel worthy?

When I'm in pure creativity and in the moment. I feel like the universe is bursting from my chest and I'm connected to everyone/thing and that feels worthy, as well as humbling. ​

If you could change anything about your last breakup, what would it be? 

I'd pull off the blinders and walk away sooner. ​

If your character could give you life advice, what would they say?

​Don't wait to make that change, take the jump.
