Follow your dreams, NOT the ghost

Ilse sits down with actor and storycreator Lorena Gonzalez to talk about growing up in a legitimately haunted house, quitting a job to chase a dream, and getting told by an all-white conservatory that she didn’t “have it.” (Spoiler: she definitely has it.)

They get into gratitude on set, the struggle of starting late in the game, and the spirit who maybe doesn’t like men. Plus: haunted toilets, shadow figures, and a coconut exorcism that didn’t go as planned.
