1. How did you get involved in The Coming of Org movie?

Davina asked me.

A kind of fallen angel. A bloke who had seen better times. I patterned him after an old man I knew as a boy who played drafts all day on a porch at Marchand, and in the evening went home to beat his wife.

3. What was the experience like, working on set with the director Davina Lee?

Fantastic. I would gladly do it again. Davina is an excellent director. I trust her judgement implicitly.

4. Did you have any acting experience before the movie?

Lots. Don't ask to begin.

5. Any stories from behind the scenes that you can share with us?

Five Questions with Actor Ian Mitchell

Ian Mitchell as 'Terrance'

This week we highlight one of the great actors in The Coming of Org, Saint Lucian Ian Mitchell, who plays Terrance.

1. How did you get involved in The Coming of Org movie?

I saw a casting call on Facebook and I figured I should give it a try. I went to Davina's office at the time which was at Rodney Bay Marina and Katherine (Casting Director) and Davina gave me a few lines to read from one of the scenes. They seemed to like the way played the part, or maybe they were scared of me while I read it... either way, it was a good thing. A few days later, Davina informed me that she wanted me to play Terrance...
