Heidi's Actress Bio.

 We asked Heidi Stoll, who played Aunt Ailionora, 
a few questions about her life.  



How do you interpret your character?    
       She was self centered and pretentious.  She was rude and abusive.  Yep, a real genuine bad lady!  ("Mom, You're The Bad Lady!" according to my 3 year old daughter, Charity)
When on the set of Mo Chara, what did you enjoy most?
       I loved fainting and being caught by my real life daughter Grace.  Mo Chara was my first movie acting experience.  I found so many fascinating things about the whole process.  I also enjoyed seeing 7 of my real life children perform and use their God given talents.

What are your other acting experiences? 
       I have been in School and Church plays.  I was Rose in Sweeny Todd and Mammy in Lil Abner.  I love performing comedy skits that make fun of everyday life.  I work part time at MSU's Learning and Assessment Center as a simulated patient to help teach future Doctors, Nurses, and Veterinarians.
What about your scholastic life? 
       I am so glad to be done with School!  I graduated from MSU in 1993.  We've homeschooled our children since 1999.  I love seeing them learn and grow!  I believe we should always continue to learn, especially from life experiences!
Besides acting, what are you interested in?
      I am married to my husband, Matt, going on 19 years and we have 8 beautiful children (ages 3-17 yrs).  I have devoted my life to serving God and taking care of my family, which takes a lot of time these days.  I loved being in Mo Chara!  I had a great time and hope to do more acting in the future.
What else are you passionate about? 
      My relationship with Jesus, whom I try to walk with everyday.

Sydney's Actress Bio

       Epic Summer Movie interviewed Sydney, age 16, who played Cadence and asked her about her experience in Mo Chara; her life and interests.

“I love my character, she is a loving and strong woman that is willing to do anything for her family.
I enjoyed being able to hang out with some awesome people over the summer (on the set of Mo Chara), also my costume was amazing! 
    I am interested in drawing, painting, acting and writing. Last year I was in Homeschool Performing Arts’ production of the Wizard of Oz.  This year I am in their production of Honk!.  I have also taken acting lessons on the side at The Studio in Lansing.
     My favorite subject is history.  I love to learn about ancient civilizations.  My favorite thing is being with my family and friends.  I am so blessed with awesome people in my life, that no matter where we are, we always manage to have a great time.” 

Amber's Actress Bio

       Amber is 16 years old.  This is not her first time appearing on camera (she played Adora in Epic Summer Movie’s “Ransomed” as well as acted in several homemade movies). She has also been in Homeschool Performing Arts’ “The Wizard of Oz”.  
This year in Mo Chara, Amber beautifully portrayed Lile, Aibhlinn’s cousin.  Amber thought that Lile was a good friend that truly cared about her cousin.  

While on set, Amber enjoyed hanging out with friends and was often seen napping at various locations due to film exhaustion.
In school Amber’s favorite subject is Art.  She also loves reading and listening to music.
The thing that Amber adores most is boots (she owns a ton;).

How would you describe your character? 
     I think Aibhlinn is trying to find out where she fits in the world.  She is stubborn and a little melancholy, but I really can’t blame her. 
When acting in Mo Chara, what did you enjoy most? 
     Getting to know a ton of amazing, talented people.
What is your favorite thing? 
     Spring, right after the winter thaw, when the grass is starting to turn green and the sun shines all the time.
