Writer and actor Antonia Campbell Hughes put a lot into her latest film Cordelia. She co-wrote it with director Adrian Shergold, rewriting and shaping the entirety of Johnny Flynn’s cello-playing Frank. She stars as not only the paranoid, trauma ridden titular character, newly taken with her upstairs neighbor, she plays her twin sister.
When I sat down with her to talk about the film, her effort and her passion for the project shone through her every word. We talked about writing with Shergold, the how playing twins works on a technical level, and what she learned from Cordelia for her directorial debut. Though delayed by the pandemic, Cordelia is available in theaters and VOD now.
