Ella Balinska and Pilou Asbæk Talk Run Sweetheart Run

After this film, you’ll reconsider any blind date!

Run Sweetheart Run takes you on the hunt of your life following the bloody night of a single mother, Cherie. After being convinced to go on a date with her boss’ client Ethan, her night takes a huge turn when she discovers Ethan is not just a charming businessman but a deadly womanizer. After getting away, she spends the rest of her night on the run in an endless game of cat-and-mouse as he hunts her by the stench of her blood.

I spoke to the woman on the run herself, Ella Balinska. She shared with me what she enjoyed most about playing Cherie.

“I would say being put in a place where I was invited to go to these emotional extremes, and encouraged so much by the generosity of Pilou’s performance, was something very fulfilling as an actor.”

I also got to talk to her worst nightmare, the man who plays Ethan, Pilou Asbæk. He talked about what led him to play Ethan.

“It had such a beautiful playfulness to it. It had so many scenes for me to go, oh here’s the psychopath, here is charming, is seductive. I had all these elements and I just thought it was so much fun.”
