Riley Davis, the red-haired villain of ShortMax's The Alpha King's Chosen Mate, on vertical dramas, playing the bad girl, and her country music. She opens the werewolf drama by ripping out her…
So what, um, Verticals are... interesting uh some of the some of the topics some of the perspectives some of the titles as we've already looked at are are very uh unique and not always not always the the best perspectives especially when it comes to uh how they treat women especially um what what went through your mind the first time you you did a like you were you got a like a small background of one.
I, so the first, the like first like vertical that I did where I was like the villain, um, I was totally bullying the girl that was bigger than me.
And the director's looking at me and she's already done a few and she's like, yeah, whatever.
And I was like, what is happening here? I'm like, what did I walk into? And I think like from that point, it was like, I looked at the script and I was like, this is a little crazy, but I know that people talk like this because you see it on the internet all the time.
And it's like, and if I can relate this story in a more truthful way because it's something that does actually happen like okay maybe we're not everybody's not models and on magazine covers and walking down runways but you know we're walking to the coffee shop and there's somebody that makes a comment about your outfit or what you're wearing like you know or you post a picture on social media and And somebody comments something really, really awful.
So just trying to relate something that is very dramatized and trying to find the truth in it, that kind of helps me kind of ground the vertical scripts.
Verticals just take it up like they take that notch and they just turn it like like one little one little number or two higher on everything that just to make you go.
I feel like when my grandmother was alive and we watched Days of Our Lives, that was was no different like the stories like now like looking back and thinking about it I'm like some of the stories are very similar like you know yeah it's, it's maybe, you know, cause it's a different network and things like that.
