Storm Reid covers the spring issue of Wonderland, and this is one cover article that is definitely worth the read.
In her interview, the 19-year-old actress spoke about her role as June Allen, in Sony Pictures’ Missing, sharing the small screen with Zendaya in Euphoria, in addition to what we can expect from her production company, A Seed & Wings. Take a look below at a snippet of her interview below.
Storm on her Disney start.
I’m so proud to have been a part of A Wrinkle in Time and the Disney family in general. It really did put me in a certain spotlight and gave me so many opportunities that have led me to where I am today.
Storm on why she, her mother and sister created her production company, A Seed & Wings.
My mum, my sister and I created our production company to not only create multifaceted content that is representative of the real world and to tell the stories that aren’t being told, but to also have the opportunity to employ others and take risks on talented and promising people that haven’t been given their chance yet.
Storm on how they came up with the name A Seed & Wings for the production company.
My mum has instilled within my sister and I for all of our lives, ‘If you have faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed then God will move a mountain.’ And, scientifically, butterflies aren’t anatomically meant to be able to fly, but they don’t know that, so they just fly anyway. So the name A Seed & Wings came from those two reflections, it’s about having faith, taking risks and going after anything even when the odds are so stacked against you.
Storm on sharing the screen with Zendaya.
I’m so glad I got to work with Zendaya and to experience and watch her be so successful. I was always such a huge fan of hers, she was a real role model to me.
Storm on her latest character June Allen in the Sony Pictures’ Missing where she stars alongside Nia Long.
I definitely think I learned a lot — actually, I know I learned a lot while filming Missing. It was a very different experience on set and shooting specifically that I had never experienced before. There were so many technical aspects of it, having to film on a computer or a phone or a watch. But having to get all of the eye lines correct without having a scene partner took a lot of getting used to. It really pushed me as an actress and once I got over all of the technical hurdles, I had a really fun time.
Storm on who she’d love to see herself co-staring with one day.
I definitely want to share a screen with Miss Meryl Streep, that would be really cool. I also think Denzel Washington is incredible, Miss Viola Davis, Miss Angela Bassett. I have a very long list of people I want to work with.
We have no doubt that she will share the screen with all of those on her wish list and more. The future unquestionably holds magic for Reid and we will definitely be there for the journey. To read the interview in its entirety, click here.
