Jaz Sinclair Readies for ‘Gen v’ Season 2 and new album ‘Selkie’

In anticipation of the second season “Gen V’s”, Jaz Sinclair confirms: fans will see a new side of Marie Moreau.

“Thinking of Marie in season 1 versus Marie in season 2, she does change. She will evolve. We will certainly get more moments of lightness with her, but the circumstances are still intense,” she reveals at the Monte-Carlo television festival.

“I don’t know if ‘luckily’ is the right word, but in season 1 Marie did not know how to be normal. She did not know how to be a teenager, because her experience was so extreme. In the course of that season, and now in season 2, she knows how to feel friends, feel love – and how to tell jokes.”

In Amazon’s spin-off of “The Boys” fever in September after the tragic death of actor Chance Perdomo last year, teen super heroes at Godolkin University. There are mysteries that need to be solved and battles to fought, but above all a lot has grow up.

“I mean, isn’t that just the truth? Isn’t that what every child is experiencing right now? It is elevated with the super hero items, and then it’s political, and then they just try to sort things out,” she says.

All ‘Gen v’ characters are poor, admits them, not only by debt-plagued Moreau. And that’s what she likes about it.

“They always have something to do with something and sometimes they have to deal with it. It makes it relatible. Looking superheroes who are perfect would be less interesting to look at. But watching a normal person trying to struggle with super powers? That is why this show works so well,” she underlines.

“We root it in reality; it in love, carrot, root, in ‘good versus evil’ and uncertainty. I absolutely work from the ground with regard to Marie. I concentrate on her relationships and her pain, and then I add the super hero element. She feels a lot of shame. Emma. Emma. Emma. [Meyer, played by Lizze Broadway] Also feels a lot of shame, and Jordan too. They have parts of themselves, they hide and then learn how to love each other. ‘

The show is also praised because of the display of periods. Moreau is hemokinetic, able to control blood with her mind. Her powers manifest herself during her first period.

“I love that scene. It is clearly violent and frightening and terrible [Moreau accidentally caused the deaths of her loved ones]But they didn’t shy away from her period. Should we be ashamed of your blood or tampons? Every woman bleeds. ‘

“It is amazing that we can look at this ‘taboo’ topic and make it a little less taboo. When will you ever see something point related to TV? Almost never. It had absolutely feminist tone.”

Sinclair accepted the Golden Nymph for the most promising talent on the Fest and said: “I know how much I wanted to see people who looked like a child on the screen when I was a child. To play powerful roles such as Marie Moreau, in the skin I know, that women around the world see that power and resonate with it, so much for me.”

She added: “There is nothing in the world that I love more than telling stories. Stories are timeless and through them we can use feelings and experiences that we may otherwise have problems to understand.”

She already baptized her toes in indie films in Amanda Kramer’s ‘Please Baby Please’.

“I want to do more of that. I would like to work with female directors and Amanda’s a wild lady. She is a freaking rock star. It was strange and beautiful, and it enabled me to branch professionally. I would like to do more character work and play some adults, you know?”

Directors and production can also rise on the horizon.

“If ‘Gen v’ continues for five seasons, I want to direct [some episodes]. I think I would be a good director of actors. People tend to hang a box. They say: ‘I like you if that and only that. Do it forever. ‘But we are multidimensional and versatile and capable of so many things. When I tell an artist, it makes me enthusiastic. ‘

Speaking of branches – Sinclair is currently a new album with the name “Selkie”.

“It is really a good representation of my musical taste. It is a fair exploration of heartache and rebellion, love and sorrow. And humor. Always a little humor.”

The album, made with producer Jaron Crespi, is an “eclectic and multi-genre project that is as sexy as it is sad, hopeful and defective. I am a creature of contrast and this project expresses that well.” She will release the songs this year.

But Sinclair will also allow itself more downtime than when she first drove through the country at the age of 18 to strive for her dreams.

“Nothing could have stopped me,” she laughs.

“I think a lot about this now that I am an adult and get afraid of things. When I drove there, I wasn’t afraid. I just thought:” It’s going to work. I don’t know how or when, but there is room for me. ” It’s funny because I’m so different now “

“I am much more interested in leading a full life, having deep relationships. I don’t think my identity is bound or others consider me enormously successful. I hope for exciting things, but I also want to be happy,” she notes.

“Life is meant to be lived.”
