muse from the inception of the project.
Fortunately, the OLTL alumna was
game for the challenge of playing an
aquatic creature. “She’s already in great
physical shape, but I’ll be working to get
some more strength on her,” Lowder
reveals, “and then we’ll get her in the
water with the tail and teach her how to
swim with the thing.”
The tail itself is heavy and custom-
made for the wearer, but it was also
practical. “Visually, it’s gonna be stun-
ning — we have an incredible director
of photography,” Lowder insists, “but
we wanted to focus on the characters
and the stor y and not draw the attention
away with [high-tech]” effects.
While the producers are still tr ying to
decide between multiple pending distri-
bution offers, Lowder is happy to an-
nounce that “we’re slated to release it
this holiday season.”
