last year also saw Marysia taking part in the Mystery of
Britannic, a mini-series by Maltese film company u-film
Productions. filming took over a month and official release is set for
next year.
“i can’t say that swimming in the open sea in april was great
fun, but the crew was really great. they took very good care of me,
especially as the swimming bit took some battling of fears. i’m not a
fantastic swimmer at the best of times!”
although the series was privately premiered a short while ago,
Marysia had to miss it – due to being on honeymoon.
right after the Britannic series, another juicy role showed up –
that of Carmen in Love to Paradise.
“yep it’s been busy, although things have quietened down
somewhat now. that’s the nature of the business; it’s full of ups and
downs. sometimes i barely have time to do the laundry, and at
others i have to get creative to fill my time. i had some time to
travel to the us, the uk, Cannes film festival and more and to
catch up on expending my skills in between the jobs.”
Marysia in fact makes it a point to fill up her ‘between jobs’
time with useful endeavours.
“i try to upgrade my CV whenever there’s a lull in work.
learning a new skill such as dance, taking new coursework... it
always helps. if you want the opportunities to come a-knocking, you
need to put in the effort. you can’t control which opportunities
present themselves, but you can control how prepared you are for
when they show up.
But back to Love to Paradise, which is doing incredibly well.
Marysia tells me that she first saw the call for casting advertised by
Julian galea online. there was only one snag: casting was taking
place in los angeles, while Marysia was in Malta.
