Berlinale2023 Sydney Sweeney On The “Honor” Of Speaking To Real Whistleblower For ‘Reality’ Role
Film Festival Saturday evening alongside playwright and director Tina Satter to debut their new featureThe film follows the story of real-life U.S. whistleblower Reality Winner, a former intelligence officer who was given the longest prison sentence ever imposed for the unauthorized release of classified material . Winner had passed documents to the media in 2018 about Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections.
Sweeney continued to say that she took all of her visual research into her audition, which helped her land the part. However, she added that it was the private conversations she was able to have with Winner that best equipped her for the role. “I had the honor and the privilege of being able to communicate with Reality,” Sweeney said. “I was able to Zoom with her. Tina connected us, and I would text her throughout the process.”
She added: “When Tina connected us, I was like, ‘Omg, this is a dream for an actor because I’m actually getting to speak with the real person and dive into their mind and what she’s gone through in her life.” The film opens on a Saturday afternoon in June 2017 when 25-year-old Winner was confronted at her Georgia home by the FBI. The film continues by following the cryptic conversation that took place between Winner and the FBI agents.. Satter wrote the screenplay with James Paul Dallas, a process that she told press in Berlin was laced with inherent difficulties due to the mystery surrounding the real-life Reality Winner.
