Over the years we have seen numerous actors becoming producers and, after working on Lovelace, Amanda Seyfried got very interested in working behind the camera. She told WWD: ”It’s great to get your ideas heard and to have creative input, to be part of the process. At some point, I’d love to produce things that I don’t necessarily have to be acting in.”

The actress said that being part of Lovelace project brought a certain shift in her career: ”Lovelace felt like a big shift in my life and career. That culture is fascinating. I loved the idea of portraying her internal stuff and examining what was going on behind the scenes, that no one saw. Knowing that we were only telling her story made it a lot easier for me — I had to respect her and be her voice.”

Amanda also reveals that she has become fascinated with independent movies. ”Independent films are the ones I find most interesting right now. I like indulging in certain situations which I wouldn’t normally be in. I like that idea, of playing somebody really lost or going through something impossible to understand, because that’s a journey in itself. You come out of those experiences with a richer, broader view,” she said.
