In writer-director Chad Crawford Kinkle’s moody horror drama Jug Face, Lauren Ashley Carter plays Ada, a pregnant, panicked teenager who tries to escape her backwoods community when she realizes she may be the latest person to be sacrificed to a mysterious pit that the townsfolk believe has healing powers. In real life, though, Carter is a young New York City actress paying her dues and just starting out in her career climb, which means there are still commercial auditions for ads about a feminine hygiene product superhero. I recently had a chance to talk to Carter one-on-one, about Jug Face, horror movies, stage fright, auditioning and more. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
