Graduation Spring 2022 - Agla Þóra Þórarinsdóttir, Acting

Agla Þóra will be graduating on June 4th from Acting with her film “White carpet”

Bríet is experiencing things that have happened,or are happening, in her head

What is your first memory related to films?

Disney movies and "Stikkfrí" that were on VHS tapes at my grandmother's. I mostly watched "The Little Mermaid" and "Fantasia". Otherwise the first time I went to the movies it was "Horton hears a Who", it was funny

What fascinates you about film making?

Everything I think, which sounds very cliché of course. But acting is a favorite and so is the music

Why did you choose Acting?

You know when you are small and adults ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and everyone says "Rock star, actor, pop star". Well, I just never changed my mind. There's nothing else I want to be, no plan B. Except maybe a director but it does not come close to Acting

Anything that surprised you? 

Yes, the physical part of it. Knew this was partly physical but not so much

And what does the future look like?

100% relaxation hahaha ! But otherwise it's just soldiering on. I am writing a short film. Then maybe I will have a look at more acting studies abroad. Lots of plans, you just have to execute them
