Erika Marks Sits Down with Jason Zlatkus on Coffee Break Thursdays

Erika Marks sat down with director and co-writer of SPREAD: Pigs to Slaughter, Jason Zlatkus, for an interview on Coffee Break Thursdays — a series dedicated to conversations with working actors and filmmakers about their craft, their careers, and the projects that define them.

The interview offered a candid look at Marks at a pivotal moment in her career — a working actress with strong commercial momentum, a growing genre footprint, and the kind of specific, intelligent screen presence that makes casting directors take notice. The conversation touched on her approach to the craft, her experience on set, and what drives her as a performer.

SPREAD: Pigs to Slaughter

SPREAD: Pigs to Slaughter is the kind of project that exemplifies Erika Marks’ range as an actress — a genre film with genuine dramatic ambition, requiring the kind of commitment and specificity that defines her work. The film’s director, Jason Zlatkus, clearly recognized in Marks the qualities that make her stand out: the ability to bring intelligence, humor, and emotional depth to roles that could otherwise read as generic.

For Marks, every project is an opportunity to demonstrate what she can do — and SPREAD is no exception.
