Georgia Eyers is an Australian actress from Brisbane who has gained some serious recognition recently following her impressive lead role in the supernatural horror film Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism alongside Dan Ewing and Tim Pocock. Prior to Godless, Georgia appeared in the WA film, The Xrossing, and recently reunited with that film’s director, Steven Mihaljevich, for his surreal and unsettling psychological drama, Violett. In Violett, Georgia plays a sick Mother who fears unspeakable evil will soon snatch her 11 year old daughter. With both The Xrossing and Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism now available to watch via different formats, a brief cinema release was recently announced for Vioeltt here in WA via Halo Films. Screenings for other states are set to be announced early next year. In this interview, Georgia takes us back to the beginning of her career and how she got started in the industry. She also discusses being embraced by the horror community, and tells us about the impact making two psychologically demanding horror films back-to-back can have on a young actor. Anyway… enjoy.
