elcome, Star Queen Team, and congratulations on making the front cover cover for this month’s Spellbound Magazine Dark Realms edition. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.

SBM: Please introduce yourselves to our readers and describe a little bit about the role each of you took on in this creation, and your journeys to get to this point in your careers.

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): I love using vintage jewelry and garments to complete an editorial shoot. Vintage pieces are a great inspiration due to their unique and often one of a kind look.

BV (Photographer): I’m Beth Veradt, I’m 22 and I’m the lead photographer on this project. I’m based in Rhode Island, USA. TG (Model): My name is Tess Gleason. I am a model based in Boston/NYC. JT (Makeup Artist): Hi! My name is Jordan Thibedeau. I am a certified makeup artist working primarily on the east coast. I have experience in bridal/event makeup, special effects, and working on production sets. For this project, my role was to design and execute the makeup looks that would accompany each outfit change.

At this point in my career, I have mainly been working in the bridal industry. However, what I enjoy most is being a part of photo and video shoots. I try to connect with local creatives and offer my services to any individual/project that I think has potential. I’ve met a lot of talented people this way and it gives me diverse content for my portfolio!

FAIRYTALES & FANTASY

SBM: What inspired each of you to pursue your passions in the creative industry? Was there a specific reason or person that inspired each of you?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): Editorials in magazines.

I wanted to showcase vintage goods in these high-end shoots keeping with the idea of using vintage, recycled pieces and leaving a minimal footprint on the industry and planet. Most of my pieces once used in a shoot are sold in my online shop.

BV (Photographer): I’ve always been inspired by dark fantasy vibes and moody storytelling.

TG (Model): My mom used to model in the 90’s, I have always wanted to model just like her!

JT (Makeup Artist): After graduating high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do as a career. I knew I liked doing my own makeup for fun, so I thought I’d look into doing it professionally. I ended up loving it. I have always been inspired by media. Movies, television, photography. I wanted to use my talents to help create in that space. There’s something about working with a team to make art that I’ll always enjoy.

SBM: What is the concept behind the shoot, and what aspect of the shoot did you want to come alive for this concept?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): The beautiful Star Mask was the initial inspiration for this shoot. I then went looking for just the right photographer to bring my vision to life.I found the perfect photographer in Beth. The Star Queen can be evil and mysterious but she also has a soft, venerable side that she rarely shows. She turns to the stars to guide her when she is not strong.

BEHIND-THE-COVER - WITH STAR QUEEN TEAM SBM: What is the concept behind the shoot, and what aspect of the shoot did you want to come alive for this concept? (continued) BV (Photographer): Carolyn created the storyline for this project and we wanted to portray a queen going from dark to light throughout the 3 looks.

TG (Model): Star Queen has a dark feminine editorial vibe. We all wanted to evoke a dark beauty in our shots JT (Makeup Artist): Beth you’re probably better suited to answer this haha!

SBM: What is each of your favourite aspects of this shoot, and why would you each say it is your favourite?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): Seeing a vision that I had in mind for several years come together. Tess was the perfect model to bring both sides of the Queen to life. The location was breathtaking and of course I loved seeing my vintage jewelry showcased.

BV (Photographer): I love the moodiness of the entire shoot. It’s a dark regal story. Jordan nailed the makeup look and Tess made it all look effortless.

TG (Model): I loved how Beth was able to capture the perfect moments. The movement & emotions in the shots speak for themselves.

JT (Makeup Artist): I think the location for this photoshoot is one of my favorite aspects. It really sells the mood and story of this concept.

The castle screams “regal” which is perfect for what we wanted to convey.

SBM: As this is the Dark Practical Magic Issue, and featured on the cover is a seemingly dark and evil queen – what would you say is each of your favourite aspects of dark magic is?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): I based the Evil Queen on Maleficent as she is the ultimate Mistress of Evil. I think the location, mood and styling clearly bring a dark and menacing look to our Star Queen.

BV (Photographer): I’ve always been obsessed with the dark Disney villains, female villains in Harry Potter and any dark feminine energy!

JT (Makeup Artist): I think my favorite aspect of dark magic is the aesthetic. I am typically drawn to darker imagery in fashion, makeup, art, etc. Morphing that with a fantasy aspect definitely transports you to another realm. It also makes me think of powerful feminine energy, which I love to celebrate.

SBM: As a team, what is the most memorable aspect of this shoot for each of you, and why?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): Seeing my vision come to print is always exciting and to work with such a talented team of women was a highlight for me. This was truly a collaborative effort from Beth, Tess, Jordan and myself.

BV (Photographer): I loved working with an all woman team. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other behind the scenes as well.

TG (Model): Always such a treat connecting with new creatives. All the women on this team made this shoot possible!

JT (Makeup Artist): For me, the most memorable aspect was spending

FAIRYTALES & FANTASY

the day collaborating with each other. It takes a lot of work behind the scenes to create these images. Both Tess and Beth are so wonderful to work alongside. It was great to see how committed we all were to get this final product. I think I was out of my house for 10 or 11 hours!

SBM: Can you give us an insight into your individual projects coming up, is there anything you can share with us on what is next?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): I continue to work as a stylist here in So California and run my Vintage Jewelry Business. I currently have three upcoming projects: a 1960-70 transition shoot (very color-mod driven) , a Retro 1970’s shoot- and a nude shoot that will feature only jewelry as the “garment” for the model.

BV (Photographer): I will be continuing my deep dive into the world of dark high fantasy.

TG (Model): I will be off to NYC this summer to continue my modeling career– this is just the beginning.

JT (Makeup Artist): As of now I am still focusing on bridal! I hope to start working on more creative jobs, specifically in New York City this year. I’ve done a few here and there, but I’d like to set aside time to go and work again. I am hoping to add some NYFW jobs to my resume soon!

SBM: Finally, what advice would you all give to those who have a passion and want to pursue similar interests in the creative industry?

CDC (Creative Director and Stylist. Owner of Vintage Jewelry Lounge and Stylist at VJL Collection): I started styling in my early 60’s so I will say it is never too late to pursue a dream. I work with peers that are much younger than myself. The wisdom that I can give in the industry and the benefit of the energy of my younger colleagues brings a very unique perspective to a project. I say... believe it and just go for it!

BV (Photographer): Chase the dream. If you have the passion, the world deserves to see it at its fullest.

TG (Model): My best advice to anyone wanting to pursue modeling is to shoot as much as possible. Getting in front of the camera is the best practice!

JT (Makeup Artist): Keep practicing and pursuing your craft. Even if it doesn’t pay off right away. It will get you accustomed to the freelance schedule, and repetition will make you improve. Do things you don’t particularly enjoy just to push yourself. You also have to be your own advocate and own boss. You can’t be scared to go after things!

SBM: Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions! We are sure the readers will love learning the insights from this Star Queen team!

Spellbound ‘Spellbinding’ Show Watch Out

Willow | Disney Plus - Released in 2022

An epic period fantasy series with a modern sensibility set in an enchanted land of breathtaking beauty, “Willow” features a diverse international cast with Jonathan Kasdan, Ron Howard, Wendy Mericle, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan serving as executive producers. The story began with an aspiring magician from a Nelwyn village and an infant girl destined to unite the realms, who together helped destroy an evil queen and banish the forces of darkness. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world.

Spellbound ‘Spellbinding’ Show Watch Out

Peter Pan and Wendy | Disney Plus - Released in 2023 A Disney+ Original movie, “Peter Pan & Wendy” is a live-action reimagining of the J.M. Barrie novel and the 1953 animated classic, directed by David Lowery (“The Green Knight,” “Pete’s Dragon”), streaming 2023, only on Disney+. Directed by David Lowery (“The Green Knight,” “Pete’s Dragon”), the film introduces Wendy Darling, a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind who meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell, she travels with Peter to the magical world of Neverland. There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever. The film stars Jude Law (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”), Alexander Molony (“The Reluctant Landlord”), Ever Anderson (“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter”), Yara Shahidi (“Grown-ish”), Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering (“A Discovery of Witches”), Jacobi Jupe, Molly Parker (“House of Cards”), Alan Tudyk (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”), and Jim Gaffigan (“The Jim Gaffigan Show”).

“Peter Pan and Wendy” is directed by David Lowery from a screenplay by David Lowery & Toby Halbrooks (“The Green Knight”) based on the novel by J. M. Barrie and the animated film “Peter Pan.” The producer is Jim Whitaker (“Pete’s Dragon”), with Adam Borba (“A Wrinkle in Time”), Thomas M. Hammel (“Thor: Ragnarok”), and Toby Halbrooks serving as executive producers.

“Peter Pan & Wendy” is streaming since April 28, 2023, only on Disney+.

“Growing up in the ’80s, ‘Willow’ has had a profound effect on me,” says Chu. “The story of the bravest heroes in the least likely places allowed me, an AsianAmerican kid growing up in a Chinese restaurant looking to go to Hollywood, to believe in the power of our own will, determination and of course, inner magic.

So the fact that I get to work with my heroes from Kathleen Kennedy to Ron Howard is bigger than a dream come-true. It’s a bucket-list moment for me. Jon Kasdan and Wendy Mericle have added such groundbreaking new characters and delightful surprises to this timeless story that I can’t wait for the world to come along on this epic journey with us.”

The series, which is Lucasfilm’s first venture into non-Star Wars storytelling since 2015, takes place years after the events of the original “Willow” film. It introduces all-new characters to the enchanted realm of fairy queens and two-headed Eborsisk monsters, and welcomes back its namesake hero, Willow Ufgood, performed once again by the unmatchable Warwick Davis.

“So many fans have asked me over the years if Willow will make a return, and now I’m thrilled to tell them that he will indeed,” says Davis. “Many have told me they grew up with ‘Willow’ and that the film has influenced how they view heroism in our own world. If Willow Ufgood can represent the heroic potential in all of us, then he is a character I am extremely honored to reprise.”

Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Jon M. Chu, Jonathan Kasdan, Wendy Mericle, Ron Howard and Imagine Television will serve as executive producers, with Roopesh Parekh and Hannah Friedman as co-executive producers. Additionally, Bob Dolman will serve as consulting producer with Julia Cooperman as producer.

Harry Potter TV Series is officially moving forward at Warner Bros Max (formally known as HBO Max) - bringing the search for a new cast on!

According to The Times, casting is set to begin in the next nine months, with Hero Talent Group founder Nicole Tasker telling the publication that a handful of actors will be picked through open calls.

The series will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved “Harry Potter” book series by author and executive producer, J.K. Rowling. From Warner Bros. Television, the new Max Original series will be available on Max in (US) and globally once produced.

The stories from each of Rowling’s Harry Potter books will become a decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and

care this global franchise is known for. The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over twenty-five years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.

“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO & Max Content. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”

“Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I’m looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series,” said J.K. Rowling.

About the Wizarding World In the years since Harry Potter was whisked from King’s Cross Station onto Platform nine and three quarters, his incredible adventures have left a unique and lasting mark on popular culture. Eight blockbuster Harry Potter films based on the original stories by J.K. Rowling have brought the magical stories to life and today, the Wizarding World is recognised as one of the world’s best-loved brands.

Representing a vast interconnected universe, it also includes three epic Fantastic Beasts films, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – the multi-award-winning stage-play, state-of-theart video and mobile games from Portkey Games, innovative consumer products, thrilling live entertainment (including four theme park lands) and insightful exhibitions.
