Hilary explains her role as Shasta, the “major flirt”, in Stay Cool. One of the reporters at the festival says that Hilary was very gracious on the red carpet, making sure to talk to each of the reporters in turn. To this reporter, Hilary talks about how sometimes she wishes there was an “off” switch for her life, saying she’d sometimes like to be more anonymous and do what she wants all day. That said, Hilary “would never change” her life.

And here’s a more candid video of Hilary at the Stay Cool afterparty (so loud!):

Hilary Duff changed out of the mini skirt and tank she wore for the premiere and opted for a more casual look for the after-party. According to a conversation Hilary had at the party, Hilary Duff shared that her experience at Tribeca feels very short!

“I just came to the premiere and I have other stuff to do. I don’t get to hang out and watch a lot of movies but of course I enjoy this part of it (the partying). It’s just exciting to have another movie here — one of those memorable experiences.”

Hilary Duff says she’ll soon be on Twitter!! Her assistant just set up an account for her, which she plans to start using soon:

“I didn’t start Twittering yet… I’m really slow. You should see me on the Internet. I’m really bad on the Internet. If I have to find something or look something up, Mike has to be, ‘I’ll show you!’”

Can’t wait! The only existing “Hilary Duff” twitter accounts already have lots of updates, so I’m not sure if those are the “real” ones yet!

Hilary Duff & Mark Polish in ‘Stay Cool’

This will be the World Premiere for Stay Cool. The festival, which runs April 22 – May 3, has not yet announced the final lineup for premieres. However, we do know that Stay Cool has been entered in the World Narrative Feature Competition along with 11 other films, each telling “tales on life, death and all the various forms of love in between”. The 12 films will compete for cash prizes amounting to $100,000. The 12 films in this section will compete for Best Film, Best New Filmmaker and Best Actor and Actress prizes.

Hilary Duff plays Shasta O’Neil, a sexy high school senior who flirts with a successful visiting author (Mark Polish as Henry McCarthy) in town to give the commencement speech and invites him to prom. The same author must deal with another unrequired high school crush (Winona Ryder as Scarlet Smith). The film is pays homage to the 1980s and has a fantastic soundtrack you can preview.
