Kate Moran On Her New Film “Savage State,” Filming In French, NYU, Future Plans & More
A new film hitting on-demand and digital outlets on January 29, 2021, Savage State was written and directed by David Perrault (Our Heroes Died Tonight) and stars Alice Isaaz (Elle The Gilded Cage), Kevin Janssens (Revenge, The Ardennes), Déborah François (Cezanne Et Moi, The Monk), Bruno Todeschini (Ismael’s Ghosts, Son Frere) and Kate Moran (Knife + Heart, You And the Night). With the new title — a Samuel Goldwin Films release — the American Civil War has broken out and a family of French colonists, settled in Missouri, decides to go back to France. Edmond, Madeleine, and their 3 daughters have to cross the whole country to reach New York. They are led by the mysterious mercenary Victor.
Actress Kate Moran has been billed as “a cult figure in auteur work,” living and working in both Paris and New York since receiving her BFA in acting at New York University conservatory Tisch School Of The Arts. She has worked with Yann Gonzalez since his first short film, appearing in multiple films for Gonzalez, starring opposite Vanessa Paradis and Nicolas Maury in Knife + Heart. One of her most talked-about roles was in Philip Glass and Robert Wilson’s opera, Einstein On The Beach, as created in 1976 and remounted in 2012; Moran was cast in the lead role originated by Lucinda Childs.
On January 25, 2021, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kate Moran via Zoom, as embedded below. We spoke about Savage Stage — which received major critical acclaim from its North American premiere at last year’s Fantasia International Film Festival — and plenty more, including her multi-faceted career as a bilingual performer, future plans as an actress and dancer, life during COVID-19, and her NYU studies. More on Moran is online at www.instagram.com/katemoranofficial, while more information about Savage State can be found here and here.
