Film Courage:  What’s your connect to the film tonight?  You are in this movie [THE EAST].  What made you say “yes” to the role?

Danielle Macdonald:  It’s an amazing script and I would never turn it down.  The experience was even better than the script.  It was just one of those things that made it an incredible experience with such a great group of amazing actors.

Film Courage:  [Referring to the theme of the film THE EAST regarding anarchist groups known for executing attacks on major corporations] In terms of anarchy, how far would you go for a role such as, what would you do to obtain information for a role, or get yourself seen in front of a casting director? What type of extreme measures would you take?

Danielle Macdonald: [Laughs] I mean…I’m not very extreme.  I’m a little more on the flip side.  I want to go in there and do the best that I can do and if that’s right, that’s right.
