Barbarella chats with some of the Sheroes from SHEROES!

Hello friends. Barbara here. What happens when a Spring Breakers producer writes and directs a movie? Sheroes, apparently. Jordan Gertner's feature debut is now streaming in select theaters and on demand.

Sheroesstars Sasha Luss (Anna), Wallis Day ("Batwoman"), Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphanfranchise) and Skai Jackson ("Bunk'd") as a tight-knit group of friends vacationing in Thailand. A baggage mix-up forces the ladies to confront a local drug cartel, serving as a new PSA to check luggage tags when retrieving your luggage from the airport.

In some ways the movie entertains, however, some really silly inclusions diminish its appeal. With the energy of a music video, the story moves quickly, avoiding boredom, but some later scenes make some of the setups downright silly. Throughout the film, thoughts like "But what about this?" or "Why would you do that?" or "That's stupid" distract me from what's being said on the screen. Conversely, some actions taken by the characters turn out to be incredibly clever, so it's a mixed bag. Despite its flaws, I generally have a good time watching.

I also have fun chatting with Skai Jackson, Wallis Day and Sasha Luss. Check it out!

Barbara: Have you ever encountered anything in a script that was ever a deal breaker for you or you were just like, "I need to talk to the writer or the director and see if they could change that?"

Skai: As far as scripts and chord-breaking go, there's most definitely stuff in the scripts that I've read, and I'm just not up to it. comfortable or with which it might not correspond to what I stand for. I'm not going to do something just to do it. It's not just me who has to worry about it. I also have fans and people watching me who look up to me as well, so I like to be careful what I post, so there's definitely been opportunities like that that I've just been, "It's is not for me."

Sasha: I feel like it's still a collaboration between you, the writer and the director, you know. They want you for this part, and there are times when you could totally say, “You know what? I'm not comfortable with that. Normally, directors and writers know that you are in tune with your character. There's a famous story, I can't remember which actor it was, but there was something in the script that this actor just wouldn't do. He was running away, and at one point the director came up to him and said, "Why don't you do what's scripted?" and this guy was like, "I don't know. My instincts just tell me to run away. They started talking, and they actually found out that this actor was so in tune with his character, that he was following the logic of this character; it would actually be illogical to stay, and they were like "Woah, we didn't think of that", so when you're an actor you always want, when it comes to a character, you are still loyal to him.

Wallis: Yes, I agree. I think it gets to a point where especially on TV you play a certain character for so long, and you have a lot of different directors coming in to direct an episode, I feel like you know your character more than the director, so it's important to be able to collaborate and have that input.

Barbara: One of my favorite questions is, how are you similar and different from your character?

Wallis: I think I'm like Ryder in that I'm a bit of a tomboy, and I like to take risks and play sports and ph...
