Stephanie Andujar -A:Yes, it’s a lot. Since I was 12 I’ve been performing and as I got older and a bit wiser, I figured it was time to launch my own family based Production Company, Andujar Productions. Honestly, everything I’ve been through and what my family has endured, is what motivates me to do what I do. My fans are also the driving force and why I’m still in this business.
Q: Do you have a selection of top 3 favorite actors, filmmakers or directors that you admire and want to work with in the business?
Stephanie Andujar -A: Well, Darnell Martin, who directed the film “I like it like That,” she did a cool job with that movie. Quentin Tarantino, with films like “Kill Bill,” “Pulp Fiction,” he seems like an actors Director. Michael Almereyda, who directed me in the film “Marjorie Prime.” Even though I’ve already worked with him, I wouldn’t mind again (lol).
