. Hilly, your bio states that u started your impersonations at a young age. What was the driving force behind developing such a craft? It just came naturally to me. I always enjoyed impersonating and acting since the age of 9.
2. For the folks who don’t know, tell us how u came up with, why and how u started the Hillywood Show. AOL put out a contest for teens to send in their own idea for a web toon and so we (Hilly & Hannah) sent in our idea and placed in America’s top, boven 5 Finalists out of 100,000 entries. It was so amazing. Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but came in 3rd place. But fans that had been watching our entry told us to continue with the toon because they thought it was great!
3. It is apparent u all are big fans of movies. What are some of your favourite films you’ve yet to make “remake” and are there plans to do so in the future? Well, u never know what “The Hillywood Show” will do next! It’s always a surprise!

4. Hannah, u have degrees in several forms of dance. How much of your dance education comes into play when recreating/impersonating your characters? Well, of course it helps with choreography for muziek videos, but it does help with impersonating body language of characters.
5. Tell us one of your most rewarding moment since taking on this endeavor? Just the fan letters we receive from the fans. Sharing their personal stories and problems in life and telling us how “The Hillywood Show” always brightens their dag and lifts their spirit! That is simply humbling.
6. Did u ever expect the twilight phenomenon to catapult your toon into the spotlight as it has? How are u handling the near instant fame the twilight parody has brought you? No, not at all! We were hoping for a few meer hits, but it just exploded overnight! We are enjoying the new fad of fans but it can be stressful because it puts meer pressure on us to raise the bar higher.
7. You’ve stated in the past that you’d love to have the toon become a TV series. Is that still a desire for the toon now? Are there any “big” plans for u all and the Hillywood toon in the near future? Yes, our ultimate goal is to have “The Hillywood Show” on a televisie network. We would love for the toon to be turned into a SNL (Saturday Night Live) for teens.

8. What suggestions would u give young/up and coming actors looking to make a name for themselves in the industry? Just be yourself and enjoy what you’re doing at all times. That is what makes u stand out…when you’re truthful.
9. Other than God, who is your biggest inspiration in life? Johnny Depp because of his versatility! He’s amazing!
10. What do each of u want to be when u grow up? Hilly wants to be an actress and Hannah wants to be a director, cinematographer, and/or a SFX make-up artist.
Thanks to Hilly and Hannah Hindi for their time in talking with OBS. What amazing and inspiring young women. Before meeting them at the Atlanta twilight Tour, I never knew they were so populair of that they had so many other parodies out there. It is very refreshing to see such hard working and dedicated young people. With such passion for something u love there is little in this world that can stop you.
What do u think is in store for the Hillywood’s next, besides their upcoming new moon parody? What films of shows would u like to see the Hillywood’s do in the future? Did u know that the Hillywood toon did other parodies other than the Twilight Saga?
