I even helped choreographer a striptease dance that Ani makes for Ivan [interpretado por Mark Eydelshteyn]”Mikey recalled in an interview with Helo!
“All of this was based on the intensive training I did to be able to perform a lap dance from beginning to end. I’m not a big dancer, so it was great to challenge me.

“It was a striking experience… Knowing and understanding the community of sex work. I talked to some amazing consultants who managed to bring a lot of honesty and life to Ani, and I could integrate into the movie what I learned. So put me in your places – or rather, in your ‘jumps’, to be literal – it was really fun. ”
