We were joined on the Popternative show by actress Sadie Stanley (Cruel Summer, The Goldbergs), to discuss her starring in the new thriller, At the Gates, which was released in select theaters November 3rd in Los Angeles, and will be released November 10th in select New York theaters. Written and directed by first-time feature director Augustus Meleo Bernstein, the film also stars Miranda Otto (Talk to Me, The Lord of the Rings film trilogy), Noah Wyle (Leverage: Redemption, ER), Ezekiel Pacheco (On My Block), and Vanessa Benavente (The Chosen).
At the Gates Synopsis
Ana (Vanessa Benavente), a housekeeper from El Salvador, brings her teenage son Nico (Ezekiel Pacheco) to help her clean an affluent family’s Los Angeles home. But after someone rings the front gate, her employers, Marianne (Miranda Otto) and Peter Barris (Noah Wyle), inform them that immigration officers are searching for them and convince the pair to hide in a basement closet, demanding they hand over their cell phones as a safety precaution. As days go by under the same roof, each family begins to question the other’s true intentions.
In our interview, Sadie discusses working on the film and with co-star Miranda Otto, reading the script for the first time, and more. Watch the full conversation below.
