At the recent Palm Springs Film Festival, a rising star made quite the entrance—arriving in a bubble, no less! The actress joked about the choice, saying, “I thought it was not too on the nose. No, it’s perfect, and it’s not pink, and it’s not big. It’s just small, understated… very understated.” Of course, the reality was much more glamorous, befitting the honor of receiving the Rising Star award.

Reflecting on her achievement, the actress shared how much it means to her. “It really does. I was so grateful just to be able to do the work. This has been a dream of mine—working with such an incredible director and alongside Cynthia Revo. Playing the role of my dreams is surreal, and I’m so grateful every day,” she expressed with genuine humility.

When asked whether she ever imagined receiving such recognition, her response was candid. “Not even for one second. Not one dress, not one thought. I never expected anything like this.” The actress emphasized her focus on the work itself, rather than the accolades, underscoring the surprise and joy of this unexpected honor.

Fans have been overwhelmingly supportive of the film, and the actress admitted to keeping an eye on fan edits and memes. “I see some of them—they’re really fun! I even have to show you one; it’s from one of our interviews. Look at this insane drawing! I was like, okay, I love our heads—our faces look a little nuts, but I love the artistic interpretation,” she laughed.

The conversation then shifted to fellow actress Selena Gomez, who was also attending the festival. Selena recently announced her engagement and received acclaim for her performance in Amalia Perez. The Rising Star didn’t hold back her admiration, saying, “I’ve congratulated her. I love her, and I’m so happy for her. I’m thrilled to see her happiness and the recognition she’s receiving for her work. We sat next to each other at the Women’s Academy event, and we had such a great time. I’m genuinely so happy for her.”

As the interview wrapped up, the actress was congratulated once again for her achievement. The camaraderie and warmth shared between the festival attendees highlighted the supportive environment of the film industry. As the actress prepared to enjoy the rest of the festival, she expressed gratitude not just for the honor but for the fans and the opportunity to pursue her passion.

This festival appearance and the Rising Star accolade mark an exciting milestone in her career. It’s clear that the actress is focused on her craft and grateful for the recognition, all while maintaining humility and a deep appreciation for her fans and fellow actors. The future looks bright for this talented artist, who continues to inspire with her dedication and authenticity.
