Krista Hedins
ACTRESS
How did you come across Vertical Dramas?.
I had seen some castings floating around while I was still in school for acting but I hadn’t applied to any as I didn’t have time while in school but quickly after I graduated I got offered to audition for one and I just thought “why not? I have rent to pay lol” and I got the job as the lead in a love triangle vertical.
What is your favourite project you have worked on so far?
My favorite has to be Dark Passion! It was my first period piece which I LOVED and I had amazing co-stars/crew members! It’s available on Dramawave 🤍
Who is your unsung hero? Someone in the industry who should get more credit?
Honestly I can’t name just one role/person. Like I said, everyone on set works so hard and I think everyone deserves credit for that. It’s a collaboration.
What do you wish more people knew about verticals?
Probably that they’re supposed to be super dramatic and a bit crazy at times. We know that a lot of the storylines aren’t super realistic but that’s the point! It’s a place to escape reality. Also, every single person on set works really hard to bring the stories to life, it’s often really long days and it’s a lot of work. I don’t think everyone realizes that.
What developments would you like to see in the industry in the year ahead?
Equal pay for male & female leads, less violence and disrespect towards the female characters and more diversity
What are you most proud of?
Moving alone to LA from Iceland to pursue acting!
