Summer Bishil on acting
In the film “Towelhead,” Summer Bishil plays 13-year-old Jasira, a Lebanese-American girl navigating through her adolescence, including challenges with identity, sexual awakening and self-esteem.
In our interview, Summer, who made the film at age 18, and is now 20, talks about a number of her perspectives on her work.
“Acting is a way for me to just kind of work through whatever I’m going through,” she commented. “You do it in front of a camera, and it’s an art, so it’s constructive. But it’s also therapeutic.”
