<<< In addition to her work in television, Bianca will make her big screen debut in the highly anticipated Universal Pictures thriller Ouija, directed by Stiles White (The Sixth Sense, Knowing) and produced by Blumhouse Productions (Paranormal Activity). Based on the popular board game, the film will follow a group of teens that connect with an evil spirit. In the film, Bianca plays Isabelle, a life-loving teenager trying desperately to close the door they’ve opened into a foreign spirit world. The suspenseful film is set for a theatrical release on October 24, 2014. Bianca says that for her, working on both television and big screen projects, the differences are minimal save the amount of shooting time. She will continue to pursue both in her career since her focus is creating a great product that people will enjoy! While like her character Isabelle, she has always been afraid of tampering with the supernatural. “I’ve always gotten this strong sense of “don’t mess with it” around those types of things. In that sense I was able to naturally play that up. I think there is a spirit door and I think people either care to enter it or they don’t. Me, not so much!” ianca’s strong passion for performing is giving her the tenacity to work in an tough industry known for chewing and spitting you out. Her childhood included attending acting camp and heavily involvement in school theater productions. Though her college focus was Psychology, Bianca has returned to acting, requiring heart, passion, and a vision which she utilizes along with her degree and the study of the human condition to transform into a variety of characters. “If anything my degree in psychology has helped me see the likeness in people versus the neurosis which I think most would assume. We’re all on a spectrum of crazy so in essence, we’re all the same but with degrees of differences. It helps me tap into a character easier because I just have to keep in mind what degree to crank it to. I am the opposite of a method actor. I’m my own species.” Santos centers herself on two major qualities. Integrity and kindness. These she hopes most would possess, especially in a world of fronts and facades, believing it is absolutely vital and refreshing to come across a working success that operates with those qualities in mind. It makes her appreciate, believe in and want them to go further. They’re the type of people she prefers to see at the top of the A list because we should admire good people who deserve to be where they are. Because Bianca is predominantly inspired by Truth, she notices the everyday little things like a phrase or a friendly chat with a stranger reminds her why she’s on her journey as an actress bringing reality to life. In the end, Bianca wants to be able to do as many different roles as possible. “That’s the dream right!? To be able to play pretend in all sorts of skins. I’m lucky I haven’t fallen into a type. It just means there’s so much more ahead.” www.MOST mag.com || F A S H I O N M A G A Z I N E || 49
