Game of Thrones star in new film: 'The best I've experienced in my career'
Bella Ramsey expresses enthusiasm for her role in the independent film "Sunny Dancer," calling it a high point in her career during a press meeting in Berlin.
In the new film "Sunny Dancer," Bella Ramsey stars in a coming-of-age story about a 17-year-old girl who survives cancer and is encouraged by her parents to attend a summer camp for children undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Initially skeptical of the film's concept, Ramsey thought it would be a clichΓ© and potentially embarrassing experience. However, after reading the script and engaging in a Zoom meeting with director George Jacques while working on "The Last of Us 2," she became convinced of its merit.
Following a fulfilling six-week shoot in Scotland, Ramsey could not contain her excitement, declaring that "Sunny Dancer" represents the best experience she has had in her career thus far. She emphasized that the project validated her decision to pivot away from major Hollywood productions in favor of low-budget British independent films. This shift reflects a broader trend among artists seeking meaningful narratives over commercial success in the film industry.
Ramsey's reflections during her press appearance in Berlin highlight the emotional depth and personal significance of the film. She described the unique qualities of independent filmmaking and how they resonate with her sensibilities. By embracing projects like "Sunny Dancer," Ramsey is carving a niche for herself while advocating for underserved narratives in cinema, demonstrating her commitment to powerful storytelling beyond mainstream entertainment confines.
