Caitlin Stasey who plays "Laura Weaver" discusses the smile

"The smile was developed just by me, like looking at myself in the mirror and smiling until I freaked myself out. 

When Laura is smiling, her eyes wide and unblinking, there's just a cruelty in it...there's a chaotic evil...like totally humanless feeling about it. 

It's a really fun role for me, because I'm playing somebody who is like at least appears that they are not in their right mind."

Sosie Bacon who plays "Rose Cotter" discusses Smile

"I think that people are constantly going through life kind of covering up emotional pain with social niceties in life...maybe that's what's Rose has been doing up into this point...

A smile is based on context.. is the person being real, authentic, or are they faking?" 

 Gillian Zinser discusses her character "Holly" in Smile

"Holly's so obnoxious.  Holly is so easy to hate. She's a narcissist...she's the worst.  I love playing her."   

Director Parker Finn discusses Smile

"The smiles in our film, the ones you got to watch out for are the unnervingly wide toothy smiles..."

"A smile is meant to be a warm, friendly gesture that is welcoming and inviting...We learned to smile as babies before we even learn to speak.  I wanted to see if I could take that, and flip it on its head. Turn a smile into a threat something that feels dangerous, and evil."
