and the rollercoaster that is social media. “I definitely think social media can be both good and bad,” Anne says, “I don’t think it’s going anywhere any time soon so the best thing to do is making sure you’re using it for positivity and making sure it’s a good platform for everyone. I’m very active online and I notice everyone’s sweet comments and it’s heartwarming to see all of that.” Back in September, Anne started production on her latest project, Night School. The Universal Pictures film also stars A-list actors Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Rob Riggle. “I’m so excited for this movie,” Anne shares, “It’s definitely a different pace that what I’ve been doing and I’m excited to show
off a more comedic side to me. The cast is really incredible and I’ve been having so much fun filming this.” As for what Anne has going on for the rest of the year, the actress is happily booked until the new year. “When I finish filming Night School, I’m going back to Oakland to finish filming 13 Reasons Why. After that, I start work on Zac & Mia with Kian Lawley for AwesomenessTV; we’ll be filming until Christmas and then I’ll be headed home, [to Texas].” During her (rare) free time, Anne’s favorite pastime involves watching movies that star badass women. “I would love to star in an action/thriller movie,” she says, “I just recently watched Wonder Woman, Kidnapped, and Atomic Blonde and am just obsessed with how empowering and badass those women are in the films. I would love to do that. Honestly, I just want every new role to be different than the last one. I just want to keep going and growing; every project that I’ve been apart of has been really fun and challenging. I think if I just continue to do what I’m doing and keep an open mind about everything, my ‘dream role’ will just come to me.” NKD NKDMAG.COM
