   Eliza Dushku On ‘Jane Wants A Boyfriend,’ Her Creative Growth And Giving   
   Back!   
      
   Over the years, we have watched Eliza Dushku blossom as an actress. She   
   continues to push her creative limits and challenge herself with every role   
   she takes on. Her latest project is no exception to the rule.   
      
   ‘Jane Wants A Boyfriend’ teams her with the collective talents of director   
   William C. Sullivan, writer Jarrett Kerr and an amazing supporting cast in   
   the form of Louisa Krause (‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’), Amir Arison   
   (NBC’s   
   ‘The Blacklist’) and ‘Gabriel Ebert’ (Ricki and the Flash). The film   
   centers   
   around Jane (Louisa Krause) – a bright-eyed young woman in her mid 20’s   
   living with autism – and her overprotective, and recently engaged older   
   sister, Bianca (Eliza Dushku).

   Q:    We had the pleasure of watching you grow up and grow as an actor on   
   screen. What excited you about your craft early on and set you on this path?   
      
   Eliza Dushku:   You know, it was really kind of a happy accident. I was so   
   young when I started. I actually tripped and fell when I was at my brother’s   
   audition and got my first role in a film.   
      
   In my next film I was working with De Niro and DiCaprio and it was really a   
   totally random, exciting adventure that my family and I certainly never   
   anticipated. It was probably after I played the role of Faith on “Buffy The   
   Vampire Slayer” that I remember starting to get fan mail and having young   
   women and men contact me to tell me how much the character had affected,   
   saved them or changed their life.

   Q:    You made some great choices! Your latest project, “Jane Wants A   
   Boyfriend,” is a testament to that and your capability for powerful   
   performances.   
      
   Eliza:    Awww, thank you!   
      
   Q:    What was it about this project that captured your imagination and made   
   you pursue it?   
      
   Eliza:    I have personal friends that have autism and/or Asperger’s   
   Syndrome.   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Q:    What did you bring to this character that wasn’t on the written page   
   originally?   
      
   Eliza:    When I first got the script, I was a little concerned that Bianca   
   would come off as mean, controlling, audacious and would lack compassion. I   
   didn’t want it to be that.   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Q:    The story told in the film captures the beauty of all these   
   relationships and the challenges involved. What were the biggest challenges   
   of the project and the biggest lessons learned?   
      
   Eliza:    Working with the writer, Jarrett Kerr, and our director, William   
   Sullivan, was a great experience.   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Q:    You worked with your brother on a documentary called “Dear Albania.”   
   What was that experience like for you and will you be teaming up again in   
   the future?   
      
   Eliza:    Yeah! We are so proud of that movie!   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Q:    Do you think we will see you stepping behind the camera to direct at   
   some point?   
      
   Eliza:    These days I am learning to say anything is possible!   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Q:    I know you lend your voice to some great causes. What can we help   
   shine a light on for you?   
      
   Eliza:    I am heading to Africa tomorrow for THRIVEgulu. You can learn more   
   at www.thrivegulu.org. It is a trauma center for former child soldiers and   
   victims of the Joseph Kony war.   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Q:    We will definitely help spread the word! We wish you continued success   
   in all your endeavors!   
      
   Eliza:    Thank you so much!
