Kacey Barnfield is co-starring in Steven R. Monroe’s “Jabberwock”, which will be airing on SyFy on September 10th. Kacey has also appeared in the following films “Roadkill”, “Lake Placid 3′ and “Resident Evil: Afterlife”. Media mikes had a chance to chat with Kacey about her new film and also some of her other work as well.
Mike Gencarelli: Tell us about your character Anabel in “Jabberwock”?
Kacey Barnfield: Anabel is one of two sisters who live in a mid-evil village that comes under attack by the Jabberwock. She is also the love interest of Francis which is played by Tahmoh Penikett. She is just a really sweet wholesome girl that really loves Francis. She is kind of battling for his affection as Francis hasn’t really confronted his feelings for Anabel. As the movie progresses you start to see Anabel come into her own and progress as a woman. By the end she turns into a real kick ass woman. She is a nice girl and a great character.
MG: How was it working with Steven Monroe?
KB: Steven is a great director. He knows exactly what he is doing and he is very calm which seems to rub off on everyone. He is someone you really trust and just has that way about him.
MG: What was it like working with a very male dominant cast? How was it working Michael Worth and Tahmoh Penikett?
KB: It was a very male led cast. I was definitely out numbered. It was fun and after three and a half weeks I was one of the guys. Everyone was really lovely and I made a lot of great friends who I still am in touch with. Tahmoh is relatively tall, as am I, so it was nice to act alongside someone considerably taller than me [laughs].
MG: Was it a difficult production to work on?
KB: The actual shoot was a lot of fun and we had a great time. The only thing that was difficult during the shoot was the weather. I think in the 3 and a half weeks of shooting we had every season present. The last week of shooting it was extremely windy and the crew had to work really hard to keep everything together. I hope the fun that we had making the film translates on screen and to the fans. Are heart were really into the project.
MG: You are no stranger to Syfy Original Movies, having appeared in “Roadkill” and “Lake Placid 3”, do you enjoy the genre?
KB: I do working in the genre for sure. I like action and the physical element to those shoots. As an actor genres 
often pick you. You have to stay open to everything. I definitely want to explore other genres and keep continuing down the action path as well.
MG: Tell us about working on “Resident Evil: Afterlife”? How was it shooting in 3D?
KB: That was awesome and it was a huge studio movie. The 3D thing was I guess relatively new and everyone was excited to shoot and then go back and look at it on the monitors with the glasses on. It was a different and new experience. I fell in love with Toronto which is where we shot that film. It was really a great experience with a great group of people.
MG: What other projects do you have coming up?
KB: I am actually working with Michael Ross on another project. It’s going to be an independent project shot in San Francisco. I am doing a lot of auditioning as well and just waiting for the next thing to come up.
