Actress of the Day: KEYANNA SAWYER

ACTRESS OF THE DAY - KEYANNA SAWYER

Keyanna co-stars in Trick of the Witch playing the role of Courtney - one of the fashion models stranded at the mansion. Her character is lucky to find a way out of the mansion before all the mayhem begins. Problem is... something is waiting for her in the desert! Will she escape the madness? You will have to see the movie to find out!

Keyanna came to our attention through auditions we held during pre-production. On paper, she had the right look we wanted for Courtney, but what made it even better was that when she walked into the casting room, she had such a charming personality we instantly clicked with. Right then and there we knew we found our Courtney!

Filming with her was a blast! She brought such a great energy to the set and did amazing! She even asked to come to the set during the days she wasn't scheduled because she was having a great time being there with us and the other actors.

We added a bunch of stunt work into her role that wasn't in the script to make her scenes a bit more action packed. She took it like a trooper and blew us away with her SuperWoman fight moves! She is definitely an actress to keep an eye on!
