It reached No 3 on pre-order
on the iTunes store, surpassing
even Wonder Woman
“i’m quite determined though. i got in touch with Julian and
emailed him, saying that i would like to send him a self-tape. so i
did and, happily, i was cast. the male main role was taken by us
actor myko olivier and the cast came to malta to film on location.”
because one of the best things about love to Paradise,
marysia tells me, is the fact that it actually showcases malta as
malta.
“you know, i’m fed up of seeing malta doubling up for
morocco or wherever. it’s lovely to be able to show off malta for
what it is. it’s one of the things that really attracted me to the story.”
and the story is certainly pulling in the punters, centreing
around an unlikely romance between an american tourist and a
maltese artist.
“i didn’t expect it to be this big. it reached no 3 on pre-order
on the itunes store, surpassing even Wonder Woman. the film got
its european premier recently, and side street films at the eden
Cinemas showed it for about a month. i went to watch it with my
husband, even though it did feel somewhat weird, it being a
romance and all. but i value his opinion bigtime, he is always very
honest in his feedback,” she tells me.
talk moves on to her modelling assignments; marysia has
done stints in China, Japan, hong Kong, ukraine, malta... well all
over, really. she explains that she started modelling as a teen in
ukraine, feeling it was the next best thing to acting.
“there wasn’t much of an acting scene in the ukraine, back
then. but modelling was popular. i was skinny, tall, had big eyes... it’s
what they’re usually after, so i figured why not give it a go?”
and give it a go she did, with very successful results too. she
says that her fave modelling location is Japan; things are more
laidback there, with models expected to shoot only about five to six
looks at a go.
“in China you have a whole lookbook to shoot, in one sitting.
oh yes, and in Japan they’re always feeding you. it’s always: here,
have another chocolate. and there i am, shooting lingerie, trying
not to get bloated!”
both marysia’s chosen industries involve spending a significant
time in the limelight. her self-confidence must be stellar, i observe.
“only in front of the camera, because i can pretend and i can
be that which i’m not. in real life i’m actually shy. but when i’m
pretending to be someone else...then that’s no problem,” she
concludes with a smile.
