"When we started casting we were trying to find a young girl, but someone that also had more maturity. And some were pretty remarkable, and some didn’t get it. And then our lead Shae Smolik came in and we said on the spot that “This is the girl.” And you’ll be amazed that a little 10-year-old can pull it off."
- Michael G. Kehoe, Director of "The Hatred"
Shae Smolik is absolutely incredible. Total rockstar.This girl has acting chops that are going to take her so far in her career. She reminds me of someone like Natalie Portman when she was a child actress. Great talent and a great positive energy on set. When she gets angry during the movie, this 11-year old is more intimidating and badass than I am as the monster!
- Mick Ignis, The Sandman from "The Sandman"
