Actress Ally Maki On Playing A Major Dramatic Role In Award-Winning ‘Seagrass’: “Page One, Hooked”
Ally Maki stars in 'Seagrass,' a role that allows her to take her acting career in a dramatic direction.
A fraying connection to her husband Steve (Luke Roberts), a handsome but emotionally constricted white guy, prompts the couple to head to a resort in British Columbia with their two young daughters – Stephanie (Nyha Breitkreuz) and Emmy (Remy Marthaller). The film, set in the 1990s, contains several moments when white characters utter racially insensitive statements, like Carol describing Judith’s interracial children as “exotic,” or a throwaway comment from Steve during a tetherball match with Pat, when he compares his opponent to Jackie Chan. In one scene in the film that takes place in a karaoke bar, Maki gets to display her impressive vocal skill (very early in her entertainment career, she sang in a group called The Valli Girls).
