Jessica Ellerby on her love for directing and playing 'someone nice for once' on 'Living the Dream'

With a love for the stage that developed at a young age, and also an active interest in yoga, Ellerby's latest creation is another short film, which also happens to be a horror.

From playing the 'hideous' Jane on Netflix's 'Lovesick' to the overly 'nice' Stacee in 'Living the Dream', Jessica Ellerby has been a lot of things. Apart from acing such polar opposite roles to perfection, Ellerby is also a creator of 'The Hungry Games' which has specks of some absolutely impeccable content in the genre of social, observational comedy, as she herself puts it. With a love for the stage that developed at a young age, and also an active interest in yoga, Ellerby's latest creation is another short film, which also happens to be a horror. Speaking to MEAWW, Ellerby shared her varying interests in such diverse genres, and how different being on the stage or screen is from being behind the camera. Here are some excerpts of her conversation with us:
