Interviewing actress Leanne Melissa Bishop



1-. How was your childhood?

I loved growing up in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. As a kid I was able to foster my imagination through playing in nature. I’m very fortunate for this.

2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV?

I always wanted to be an actress, but living in a small town it never felt like something you could do as a career. I was involved in high school drama and community theatre, but it wasn’t until later in life that I moved to New York City to attend The Neighborhood Playhouse School of The Theatre and really pursue my career full time.

3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress?

Yes, so fortunate to have parents who believed in me.

4. - What was your first appearance on the screens?

My first appearance was in the film Focus Group Therapy.

5. - What was the role you liked the most?

It’s so hard to pick just one! But if I had to pick … Regression or The Weight of Perfection. I love flawed and multi layered characters, and this is what I played in both of these films.

6.- What do you think led you to fame?

The never give up attitude!

7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?

Characters that are layered, characters that are real … flawed just like in life.

8-. What actresses and actors do you feel comfortable working with?

I love actors that bring their A games, have done their homework, but are ready to let go of it and live in the moment.

9-. In what other genres of art would you like to participate? (Works of theater, music,among others)

Film, TV, Theatre … let’s see what happens next!

10.- Do you have any anecdotes that have marked you in your life and as a person?

Growing up in a small town, I always loved acting but did it on the side. I actually became a CPA, still acting whenever I could. Eventually I took the plunge and moved to NYC, but I believe it’s my business background that’s made me so strong in all I do. I love creating. I act, write, produce and direct.

11.- What has been your greatest achievement?

Taking the leap, and allowing myself to change careers and embrace what I truly love, the film industry.

12.- What projects will you make next and which ones do you have in mind?

I am shooting the feature What If winter 2025 in Canada. I’m super excited to be staring opposite Lea Thompson, Kevin Pollak and Aaron Ashmore. This one is special, it’s a project I’m also writing and producing.

13.- Would you like to make a movie in Spain?

YES! Sign me up!

14.- you like spanish cinema?

Love it.

1-. How was your childhood? Coming from a musically inclined family, from an early age I knew I was passionate about music and the arts. My childhood was really defined by my creativity. I spent countless hours singing, diving into books, and writing my own short stories in the sanctuary of my room. Those were the activities that brought me joy and helped shape who I am today. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? When I was around five years old, my mother took me into a local music store one day, and while we were there, I saw a voice lesson in progress. It looked like so much fun to me and they were singing songs that I loved. My mother told me that I wouldn’t stop talking about the music store or the voice lesson for weeks. My parents saw how passionate I was about pursuing singing so they decided to get me lessons and I haven’t stopped singing since. My dedication to the craft of music, became the foun...

1-. How was your childhood? My childhood was a whole journey on its own. A big rollercoaster with big highs and very low lows. When I was born I used to live with my mum, my grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle. And honestly, it was the best period of my childhood. I have fond memories that helped me build amazing relationships with my family. I was the only great-grandchild who met my great-grandmother and I love to be that one. Amazing warm Christmases, laughs and karaoke, playing in the backyard, enriching myself with our backgrounds. Everything we did seemed like a long-lasting warm hug. But you see I was born an actress, I just didn’t know what I was doing. I would spend hours and hours creating incredible worlds. I would save Antarctica, come back from the 18th hundreds, have 10 children, and need to save them from chaos or a princess who saved herself. I would memorize my favourite movies, go through my wardrobe to get matching outfits, and recreate whole movies ...

1.- Hi Sarah!!!! A pleasure to interview again. How has it been for you during this time? Hello! Thank you so much for having me again. It’s been a year since we spoke last time which is crazy! Time goes by so fast. I’ve been doing well, grinding away like always! A lot has happened since we spoke last year. My partners Dir Marcel Walz, Writer Joe Knetter, and I have completed 2 new features under our production company KWF Productions, formally Neon Noir, which we’re super excited about! The first one we shot last year is a film called, “Garden of Eden”. It’s a very A24/secret society style film that is beautiful, gory, fucked up and we like to call it our religious horror film. Its centers around this religious family that is very well off and they have garden parties to give back to society where you can make your most wished for dreams come true. But some dreams are nightmares for others. The second film we made we just completed and recently had an industry screenin...
