Epix’s new science fiction-horror television series FROM premieres today, February 20, and we chatted with Avery Konrad who stars as Sara Myers. Check out what she had to say below about the series and her acting experiences.

What can you tell us about FROM on Epix?

Avery Konrad (AK): FROM is a contemporary sci-fi horror series set in a nightmarish small town in middle America that traps all who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest — including the terrifying creatures who come out when the sun goes down.

What can you tell us about your character?


AK: I play Sara Myers. Sara is one of the residents caught in this nightmare town along with her brother Nathan. Her older brother is her anchor and what keeps her motivated to get out of this place. When you meet her you quickly realize that the weight of being trapped in this town is causing her to crack much like shattered pieces of broken glass.

When did you decide that storytelling and acting was something you wanted to do?

AK: I caught the storytelling bug at a young age. I was infatuated with it from the moment I started, and I feel the same about it to this day. I made a promise to myself I would follow that feeling until it goes away…I don’t think it ever will.

What advice would you give to people pursuing acting?

AK: The first piece of advice would be to take a class. The second would be to do it because it fuels you and not because you want to be in the spotlight. That will only take you so far.

What do you enjoy the most about acting?

AK: Bringing stories to life of course! It’s the closest thing we have to magic in my opinion.
