Tomorrow on Abnormal Fixation's third episode, "The Video," Elvis, Season, Bleeder and the team investigate a disturbing video, from a mysterious young woman named "Chesa."
In that "dark web" video, Chesa reveals a harrowing tale, and drops an important clue involving the mystery of the Woodpyre Mill Phantom.
In real life, Chesa is played by the amazing Pauline Allera, a talented graphic artist, and storyteller, who you will be hearing much more from, I'm certain, in the future.
I first met Pauline during the pandemic, when she was a remote student (on Zoom!) in my Public Speaking class I learned of her amazing artwork in class, and I was so glad when she took on the role of Chesa for our indie show.
Last spring, when we started prepping AF, Pauline really did amazing character work for Chesa. She constructed a back story for the character, granting her new depth and motivation. Much of that detail now ends up on screen. It's so good.
After intense rehearsals, Pauline shot her material for the episode first, before the rest of the cast in principal production, and she set the bar high. When we filmed the other cast members reacting to Chesa's video, they were actually watching Pauline's footage!
I can't wait for you to see Pauline and meet Chesa tomorrow, in "The Video."
