At only 18, Ellie Zeiler has already achieved massive success in the social media world.
She has over 10 million followers onTikTokand well over a millionInstagramfollowers.
What made you want to start doing that?
I’ve always been very interested in acting.
In this scenario, Brat TV is so open to new creators and new actors and actresses.
Do you feel like you want to pursue acting going forward after this experience?
I ended up absolutely falling in love with acting.
I’m so excited to get to hopefully explore that more in the future as well.
Are you excited to have your fans and followers see you doing something so different?
I feel like, because my followers see me as me, I am myself on social media.
Going into the role, did you know what to expect?
Do you feel like you were just along for the ride?
I was so nervous, so scared.
The first week of filming, I was so nervous every single day going into it.
It was such a fun experience.
Do you feel like there was anything that was more challenging than you expected or different than you anticipated?
[One thing that I thought was going to be difficult] was memorizing lines.
That was a challenge for me, but by the end, I totally got through it.
Oh, that’s cool.
You developed the skill as you went on?
How Ellie became her character
What would you say was your favorite part of acting?
To be honest, the whole experience was amazing.
Also, the cast and crew, in general, were so nice.
We all bonded and became a family by the end of it, and so it was really special.
I related to her in the sense that she dealt with a lot of people judging her in school.
I really related to that moment specifically.
Yeah, I really related to Ari.
The other half didn’t necessarily have social media, but they were actors.
On set, they’d be teaching me how to really get into a role and into a character.
We were both learning from each other, which was fun.
Did you feel like it was a big learning experience for you just being on the set in general?
I learned so much.
What are Ellie’s plans for the future?
More TV shows or movies?
What would be your dream part?
I would love to work on a movie because that’s one thing that you get to watch.
Hopefully, a movie is in my future.
I’m manifesting it now.
You’ve already accomplished [so much].
You have all your social media following, and now you’re acting.
Yes, of course.
Continuing social media, too staying on track, that’s my goal.
Oh, it’s been great.
She really stuck to her beliefs and … staying true to herself is very important.
Again, very cliche, but she really showed that by the end of the season.
I’m excited for people to get to see that at the end, too.
Oh, my God.
That scares me in general.
I have to think of that one person that’s watching me and venture to relate to them.
It’s scary, but it’s [once] you get over it, it’s fine.
I grew up doing theater and always wanted to be an actress in the back of my mind.
I’m so grateful for it.
Season 3 of Crown Lake is available to stream now on Brat TV.
