Char: In Day of the Dead Contagium, What director did you work with?

Jackeline: There were two directors, Ana Clavell and Jim Dudelson, it was a fantastic experience.

 Char: How did there style differ from other director’s ?

 Jackeline: Every director has their own style, I’ve never worked with two alike, but some do have similar styles.

 With Ana and Jim, it was unique, they had two units shooting at the same location. One day I would work with one director and the next day, with the other one. I f you know your character well, you just adapt and take directions,a nd they both knew exactly what they wanted from the actor, but they also let you be creative.

 Char: When did you come to the United States ?

 Jackeline: I arrived here six years ago, prior to that I spent sometime working in Europe and Japan and then I descided to go back to my first love, Acting. That is when I came to the U.S.

 I started in Florida and had a friend living in Los Angeles, so I came by to visit her and descided to stay.

 Char: Do you have brothers or sisters?

 Jackeline: I have only one sister, she lives in Brazil. She’s 12 years older than me. I’m the baby of the family

 Char: When is your date of birth?

 Jackeline: Oh, my that’s a difficult one. I was born on September 29.

 Char: What are your hobbies?

 Jackeline: I love going to the movies, theater musicals, restaurants with great food, traveling to exotic and mystic places. But I also enjoy staying at home reading books or watching movies.

 Char: What do you enjoy most about being in this business?

 Jackeline: What I don’t like about the business, is that for a lot of people, it’s nothing more than just a business not a passion.

 What I enjoy most is you can be whoever you want, get out of your skin and be somebody else for the day or sometimes for months. Also, when somebody sees you on the screen or on stage, they let you know what they felt for that person character. So if I  can reach and touch an audience, then I know I did a good job and that is the most rewarding part of it.
