An Exclusive Interview with Velvet Datsopoulou

Velvet Datsopoulou Talks About the Projects She Takes On and Her Tips for Staying Healthy

Hi Velvet, tell us about your latest project:

I just finished writing a script about people with severe addictions and I will be also producing a black comedy about modern love in New York -alongside Mireya Rios, an LA based actress and producer.

What drew you to the storyline to be involved?

I am intrigued by the idea of addiction and wanted to learn more about it and hopefully shed the light and create awareness that will lead to a positive change in lives.

Do you know when you want to do a project straight away? Or does it sometimes take you a while to think things over?

It all depends on where I am in my life and how much a story inspires me.

What are the preparations you take when you take on a new production?

Pre-production that focuses on the script, budget and location.

What is one of your favorite places in the world where you have filmed?

New York, Paris and Brazil.

Is there a type of project you have yet to tackle, that you would like to?

I am very interested in biopics and hope to do one about the family of ranch dressing, one day.

What is your key to staying sane and healthy in such a hectic industry?

I work out, eat healthy and meditate.
