Spotlight on Pizzaman Cast: Jenna Kuerzi

Can you believe we are only six weeks away from the production of Pizzaman! Leading up to our film shoot taking place on November 8-10 we will be sharing a spotlight on the cast and crew. We asked ‘em five questions and they gave us the answers! Follow along and if you feel so inclined, please send us some dough via our crowdfunding page here. We appreciate the help old sport and may your cheese always be stretchy!

Name: Jenna Kuerzi
Role in Pizzaman: Winnie the Pizza Heaven Employee

Lucky for us, we knew Jenna through a friend cause we got some… oh how can we say this … saucy plans for her. Fortunately she read the entire script and is on board! So to us that makes really rad, to others they may question whether she has bats in the belfry. One thing is for sure, we can’t wait to work with Jenna and are so happy she joined the cast of Pizzaman as Winnie.

Where's your favorite pizza place in Philadelphia?
FrancoLuigi's

What is your favorite pizza topping?
Jalapeno and pepper is NEXT LEVEL, but a nice cheese slice is also a classic.

What aspect of the Pizzaman production are you most looking forward to?
The grit and fun nostalgia that comes with filming an 80's slasher film in a modern world.

What's your favorite film and why?
Hedwig and the Angry Inch because it's wild, funny, beautiful, and poignant. PLUS it's a musical featuring a complex, and entirely unique, central character. It makes the jump from stage to film beautifully.

Do you have a favorite slasher flick? If so, what is it?
Scream. It's the OG meta film and I love films that are aware of their filmness.

What do you love about making movies?
It's a bonding experience. Being on set for long hours over a few days is different than doing a play where you spend a lot of time with the same group of people over a longer time frame. And craft services. We love a good snack spread.
