Interviewing actress Eve Alas Morán

1-. How was your childhood?

 From an extraordinarily young age, my childhood was defined by a remarkable pursuit of excellence across multiple disciplines. My journey began at just four years old when I picked up the violin, marking the start of what would become a childhood filled with artistic and athletic achievements.

By age five, I had already distinguished myself as a national-level gymnast, demonstrating the exceptional physical talent and dedication that would characterize my early years. This athletic foundation expanded at seven when I added ballet to my repertoire, creating a well-rounded foundation in both competitive sports and performing arts.

My intellectual pursuits were equally demanding. While managing the rigorous demands of a bilingual school program—complete with extensive homework and challenging examinations—I began studying French at nine years old, later adding German to my linguistic skills at fifteen.

The competitive arena became a defining aspect of my childhood. At ten, I achieved the prestigious title of Pan-American champion, followed by becoming Central American champion at twelve. These victories came as a result of intense preparation for both national and international competitions, requiring a level of discipline and time management that was remarkable for someone so young.

Despite the demanding schedule that would challenge most adults, I describe my childhood as "very busy but fun." This reflects my genuine passion for these pursuits rather than mere obligation. This unique combination of artistic refinement, athletic excellence, linguistic ability, and academic rigor created a childhood that was as exceptional as it was formative.

2.- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV?

Honestly, I didn't know I was going to become an actress at all. My journey began as a musician, athlete, and dancer, and that's the path I thought I would continue on. I went to college to pursue a BFA in dance in New York, fully committed to that direction.

It was actually during the COVID times when everything changed for me. I had the opportunity to produce a film for one of my classes at Hofstra University in New York, and it was at that moment that I knew I wanted to produce and act in films and be part of the television and film industry. It was like a lightbulb moment—I suddenly saw this whole new creative world that I wanted to be part of.

However, I was very aware that I wasn't educated in this area and that I needed to learn the proper techniques. I knew I had the passion, but I needed the skills. That's why I decided to pursue an MFA in Acting for Film at the New York Film Academy.

Once I joined the program, that's when I truly learned that I had the skills for this career. What I discovered was that all my professional training in music and dancing had actually been preparing me to become an actress without me even realizing it. The discipline, the body awareness, the emotional expression, the performance experience—it all translated beautifully into acting. My background gave me a strong foundation to pursue an acting career professionally.

3.- Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress?

My parents have always been incredibly supportive of my acting career. They've been my biggest fans, but they've also been my most honest critics, which has been invaluable for my growth as an artist.

My father is an artist himself, so he really understands the creative journey and the challenges that come with pursuing a career in the arts. It's been amazing to have that shared artistic perspective in our family, and we've actually been able to collaborate on some of my music projects. Having his experience and insight has been such a gift—he knows what it takes to succeed creatively and has been able to guide me through both the artistic and practical aspects of building a career.

My mother has a huge passion for dance and acting, so she's been equally invested in my success. She's always sharing her thoughts about my acting based on things she watches in the shows she's passionate about. Her observations and feedback from what she sees in different performances really help me think about my own work in new ways.

I think having parents who not only support your dreams but also actively contribute to your growth makes all the difference. They understand the industry, they respect the craft, and they're willing to invest their time and energy into helping me succeed. Their

support has given me the confidence to take risks and pursue this career path wholeheartedly.

4.- What was your first appearance on the screens?

My first appearance on the screen was a student project I did for my school, which was a scene from the movie “Crazy, Stupid Love”. It was something more for education purposes but I saw it on the big screen at my school and it was an unforgettable moment.

5.- What was the role you liked the most?

The role, Claire, from my recent short film called “Not by Choice”, which is about a young dancer who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

6.- What do you think led you to fame?

I don’t think I have reached fame; however, I would say that fame is something that I am not focused on. I am focused on my craft as an actress and portraying the characters as best as I can and be able to understand them.

7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?

I love drama and superhero movies, so anything in that realm. I also like the science fiction world, which I have done in the past.

8-. What actresses and actors do you feel comfortable working with?

I love working with everyone, as long as we are in a space where we can be vulnerable and open in order to perform our characters as best as possible that is important to me.

9-. In what other genres of art would you like to participate? (Works of theater, music, among others) 

Thankfully, I already work in a lot of the areas in the artistic world. I have my own music on Spotify and Apple Music, and have about six singles already being my most recent one being “Enamórame”. I also have performed as a dancer and am also a film producer, editor, songwriter, and screenwriter. I am very lucky I had the education I had.

10.- Do you have any anecdotes that have marked you in your life and as a person?

I have many anecdotes from my journey, but I think something that has really taught me the most about being an artist is learning to believe in myself and my work. This is probably one of the most important lessons I've learned.

Early in my career, I realized that not everyone will like what I do, and that's completely okay. We simply cannot satisfy everyone—every person is so different, with their own tastes and preferences. What I've learned is that the important thing is to put your work out there, be bold, and stay true to your vision.

Of course, I always listen to positive, constructive critiques and apply them to my next project. That feedback is invaluable for growth. But I've learned to distinguish between helpful criticism that can make me better and opinions that are simply about personal taste.

I think that's what makes a successful artist—being unique, original, and authentic to your art. When you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one and losing what makes you special. The confidence to put yourself out there, knowing that some people might not connect with your work, but believing that others will—that's been a defining realization for me.

This mindset has shaped not just my approach to acting, but how I approach life in general. It's taught me to be more confident in my choices and to trust my instincts.

11.- What has been your greatest achievement?

Becoming an artist has been the best achievement I have ever had.

12.- What projects will you make next and which ones do you have in mind?

I have a short film in the works that I am writing with director Gabriele Maria Bussetti and have much more music in the works. I am also releasing a new music video mid August.

13.- Would you like to make a movie in Spain?

Absolutely. It would be so much fun but also I would have the opportunity to meet much more artists.

14.- you like spanish cinema?

I have seen a little bit of Spanish cinema but yes so far I have enjoyed it.
