Asked about the unexpected and delayed appreciation for the film, Alessandra surmised that the timing of the release likely played a big part.
Last July, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film, which was shot in Iceland and also stars Paolo Contis, became the No.1 most watched title on Netflix. Now she can call it a success.
Alessandra is tentatively set to start working on a project with Viva Entertainment in October. But she had to be honest: If the coronavirus shows no signs of slowing down, or if cases continue to increase by 1000 to 2000 a day, then she’s not going to take the risk. “Just thinking about dying from COVID-19 is really scary. I will be like, ‘Can it be for another reason? The kind that will still allow my loved ones to visit me or embrace me.’ I don’t want to die alone—that’s not in my plans!” she said, only half in jest.
Alessandra knows that bills won’t stop coming in and she will have to work sooner or later. But for now, her health is her priority. “I keep it honest with people offering me projects: I need work. But I just feel that my life is more important than whatever I stand to earn,” she said.
