“I had probably a scene release every
week for a year in 2020. And that’s
really where my star took off.”
“The story is personal, so being able to dive deep into the character with her meant a lot to me.
“That climactic confession she cried through—her first time doing it on command—was so
sincere and emotionally grounded. I’ll never forget it.
“Helping actors fully lose themselves in their characters is one of my favorite parts of directing,
and she was phenomenal stepping into her first lead.”
Luna, who has “the strictest limits of anybody” in the business, says becoming an Adult Time
brand ambassador was a defining moment in her industry journey.
“I felt like finally somebody sees me,” Lexi tells me. “Because the worst thing is constantly
chasing the roles that you’re never getting. And that’s what was happening to me for a while.”
Mills explains that Luna “feels like an extension of our internal team.”
”I absolutely loved working with Lexi this year,” Bree continues. “She brought such a strong
mix of talent, enthusiasm and professionalism to every role, and she was always eager for a
challenge.
“My favorite example was casting her as the villain in Escape From Camp Conversion—a
total anti-type for her. Because she’s so often sweet, maternal and nurturing on screen, it felt
exciting to push her in the complete opposite direction. And she was so down for it. Watching
her completely transform for that role was honestly one of the highlights of my year as a director.”
Luna taught kindergarten through fourth grade for more than five years in Indiana and Florida
prior to adult. Armed with a degree in elementary education, she took the job seriously but
realized it was unfulfilling.
“I didn’t feel like I was getting feedback that was helpful or constructive,” Luna says. “I was
just doing the same thing every year and feeling more and more lost, drowning in the sea of
work that is teaching.”
She taught in both charter and public schools, working with all socioeconomic levels.
“I gave it a really good chance,” Luna adds. “And at the end of the day, it just wasn’t making
me happy.”
