In her latest independent feature, 'She Dies Tomorrow,' Amy Seimetz used her own anxiety to fuel the narrative

“Well, with most of my work, there are versions of me or emotions that I’m dealing with, and then I create them into characters,” Seimetz explains. “By removing the artifice of a different name and a different character, I was able to allow Kate’s character, which is Amy, to be me. There was no, ‘I really want her to do this, but this character wouldn't do that.’ It was like, ‘I really want her to do this and she can because it’s an extension of me.
So what was the first kernel of the idea for this movie? What happened that made you say, “I better write this down”? I really appreciate how you aren’t hiding the fact that Kate Lyn’s Amy is based on you. You can often tell when a director is drawing on their own life, but they’ll try and disguise it by doing something obvious like changing the name Kevin to Kenneth. What led you to be this transparent as far as the Amy character is concerned?
With Kate and Kentucker, specifically, I just find them incredibly alluring and incredibly charming. And to me, Kentucker has — and this what I felt when I put him in— this sort of modern Paul Newman-esque charm to him when he’s on the screen. And all of these people have such a sense of humor. I need people with a sense of humor on set, and they have very bizarre senses of humor. And Kate, to me, is the Meryl Streep of our time. Her face is just unbelievable.
If I’m feeling really indulgent and want to be nostalgic and maybe shed a tear, I put on “Clair de Lune.” Like everyone. I feel like that’s so cliche. But I was, during the time actually, listening to “Requiem” a lot. I was trying to find music to write to, and then it really took hold. While this movie was solidifying in my head, I was listening to “Requiem” over and over and over again.
