Kasia shared, As an actress, I’m constantly driven by a profound passion for storytelling. It’s the heart and soul of what we do, the ability to immerse ourselves in the lives of characters and narratives that both challenge and inspire us. When I first encountered ‘Mood,’ I was immediately drawn to its profound exploration of mental health. The opportunity to portray ten distinct personalities within the film was nothing short of transformative. Each character became a canvas upon which I poured my heart and soul, delving deep into research and emotional exploration to authentically represent the multifaceted experiences of individuals living with dissociative identity disorder. It was a journey marked by both daunting challenges and exhilarating moments of discovery. Maintaining the authenticity and nuance of each personality, while ensuring continuity throughout the film, was a monumental task—one that required unwavering dedication and an unyielding commitment to the craft. Yet, with every scene, I found myself delving deeper into the complexities of the human psyche, unraveling layers of emotion and truth that resonated with audiences on a profound level.
The recognition that ‘Mood’ has received at prestigious film festivals is a testament to the power of storytelling in shining a light on important societal issues and sparking meaningful conversations. To see the film resonate with audiences and critics alike is incredibly humbling and gratifying, reinforcing the importance of using our platform as artists to effect positive change in the world.
Throughout my journey in the entertainment industry, I’ve always been guided by a simple yet profound mantra: to stay true to myself and to the stories that speak to my heart. It’s this guiding principle that has led me to nearly 40 films, each one a unique and transformative experience that has pushed the boundaries of creativity and challenged me to grow as an artist. Whether it’s a compelling character, a thought-provoking narrative, or a talented creative team, I’m always drawn to projects that inspire and challenge me, that ignite a fire within me to push myself beyond my limits and delve deeper into the human experience.
