He called me up and he said will you, you know, will you come do a role? And I didn't even have to read it to say yes.

Aaron, come over here. Come on. I follow you on Twitter. It's the least you can do.

Kinsey here with Young Hollywood at South by Southwest. I am with the beautiful and brilliant Joey Lauren Adams. Thank you so much for being here.

Thank you for having me.

Have you been to South by Southwest before?

No, this is my first

This is your first time. This is your first time. I'm actually surprised that you haven't been here yet. You were born in Arkansas. You shot your movie in Arkansas. Um you live in Mississippi. And you shot this movie apart right outside of Houston. Right. So, is it safe to say that you love the South?

I do love the South. And I think that it's like the seventh film I've done in Texas. Oh, really? I've done four in Austin. So, yeah, it's shocking. I had not been to South by Southwest.

And how do you stay so connected to Hollywood living in Mississippi? Are you constantly on your BlackBerry? Are you on the email all the time?

Um you know, with um yeah, I mean, you can email. If I have to audition for something, I put myself on tape. Sometimes I film it with my friends. With technology like these tablets that are coming out, like the Playbook and and things like that, it does give you a new opportunity to work from Mississippi and get, you know, in front of Hollywood.

Do you think that it gives actors all over the country um more opportunity to

I think so. I mean, you know, cuz I I was at the Arkansas Film Festival recently, which was it's a great up-and-coming festival. And just the the shorts program of the Arkansas filmmakers. I was so blown away by just the talent there in Arkansas and how many people are there not in Hollywood, never been to Hollywood who are making films.

What attracted you to such um a dark thriller like a part? What I'd like to do with your mom's permission is meet with you once a week and just talk about the things you see. Does that sound okay?

Well, honestly, uh the writer director, Aaron, who's

Oh, is that handsome guy?

Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Um, he was um the assistant editor on a film I wrote and directed called Come Early Morning. Yes. He called me up and he said, will you, you know, will you come do a role? And I didn't even have to read it to say, yes, I will do anything for you, Aaron. Aaron, come over here. Come on. I follow you on Twitter. It's the least you can do.

Okay. Being um a writer and a director is is technology, these tablets that are these things that are are helpful to you.

I remember reading an interview with David O. Russell a long time ago where he said that he doesn't write on a computer because he feels like you think it's too perfect writing on, you know, writing on that. He still writes longhand and I tried to do that for a very long time, but you can't do that anymore. You just have you you need to be on a computer and you need to be so plugged in. And and especially trying to promote a movie. Like, you know, I've got all my Twitter account, my Facebook and Tumblr and all of that stuff open up constantly.

You are a writer, you're a director, and you're an actress. Is it fair to say that you love what you do?

I do love what I do. Yeah. I do. I love having, I love being able to flip around, you know.
