Natalie Moon Interview

Welcome, Natalie Moon. You’re part of the cast of *Backrooms*, one of the hottest films of the moment with a major box office hit. Can you tell us about your role?

I play Phil's wife, Abby, in the film. Phil is played by the incredibly talented Mark Duplass, who is truly a champion for independent film and filmmakers and It was a joy to act beside him. We also had two young actors playing our on-screen sons who were brilliant, capable, and so professional, I have no doubt we'll be seeing more of them. Kane had a very specific vision he was bringing to life, and I felt lucky to be a small piece of that puzzle. Interestingly, the scene originally had a lot of dialogue, but Kane's decision to make it silent was inspired and it added so much to the creepy nature of the film.

What do you think fans can expect from *Backrooms*, directed by the very young Kane Parsons?

Can you share an anecdote from the Backrooms cast that particularly amused or impressed you?

Among your television projects, you’re one of the stars of The Audacity; your character, Jen, appears in four episodes. It’s a series that explores human relationships and their conflicts set in Silicon Valley. Who is Jen? The character you play.

Jen is an unapologetic incredibly rich mother with a child at the same school as Jamison (Ava-Marie Telek). She is so out-spoken about her wokeness that it could easily actually be construed as racism. Her wealth has given her such a lack of understanding of the real world and of people not in the same financial situation as her, much the same as the rest of the cast. She was so fun to play and I'm excited for season 2.

Who is Natalie Moon when she’s not on set? Does she have any hobbies?

I am a self proclaimed tea addict, and enjoy snuggling up with a good book and my little dog Ozzie in my lap. I may or may not have a Lego addiction and I love a good puzzle - be it at trivia night, video games or deep in the depths of an escape room. Ooh... Backrooms escape room, anyone? When I'm not acting I'm an accent coach, I'm currently helping cast members in two shows filming in Vancouver.

Is there a character you’ve played that you’re particularly fond of?
