I have friends that are still dating and using apps to meet people and they’re going on these virtual dates through FaceTime. Well, I think about kind of what’s happening now and how we spend so much time using FaceTime and Zoom to connect to people. When you say heaven now, you don’t know if that’ll happen, but with this you’re like, yeah, it’s a for sure thing. Nora’s dad wanted to meet her mom in heaven. If something like this were to happen, there could be love that happens between the dead and the living and it’s kind of weird, but finding your forever partner could be the new normal. The ending got kind of weird where I was in love with Nora and Nathan’s relationship, then it just hit me, I was like, wait, Nathan’s dead. That totally hit me and it makes me wish we did have something like upload in Lakeview to stay in touch with the people that mean so much to us. As I’ve gotten older and so have my parents, I too would be like, of course I want to stay connected to my loved ones forever. I mean, for me, Nora’s mission is getting her father to upload because she wants to stay connected to him forever. Have you ever consciously dealt with those things in real life? Has being part of this show been transformative for you at all? The show definitely plays on the idea of existentialism and human’s natural fear of death, paying to live a little bit longer. With all the technology and the way that things are going on, for sure. I think about like, man, I feel like I am living Nora’s life right now. It feels like this could be a reality, this could actually happen. I also noticed the different classes and I feel like you’re right. I feel like everybody’s probably obsessed with Nora and how down to earth she is, and like, not so perfect, but trying to make it. When I read the script, I instantly connected with her and I was like, “Oh, I’m obsessed. Well, I really love sci-fi and I’m a sucker for romantic comedies and the script just….the world that Greg built is so layered and so balanced, it kind of has the best of all worlds and the characters are so, so beautifully crafted, especially Nora. Shortly after it was announced that Upload would be renewed for a second season, Uproxx spoke with Allo about the ever-evolving human experience, music, and what kind of digital afterlife Prince would be into if he were an upload. Now, she plays an angel in Upload and though she has another acting project titled 2 Minutes Of Fame coming out this summer starring Kat Williams and Keke Palmer, music is still a priority. “I think he knew before I truly did of the potential I had,” Allo recalled of her time working with Prince. Before Prince, she banged out as Allo and the Traffic Jam on Sacramento’s bustling historic J Street. Not only that, her 2012 sophomore debut, Superconductor, was executively produced by him and she has released a total of five albums with Prince as her mentor. I am positive that I’m not the only one who has been immediately enchanted by Andy’s charm - the late, great, Purple One, Prince, was captivated by her charm too, as he embraced her as a guitarist and vocalist for his backing band, the New Power Generation, in 2011. Though set in the future, the setting was all too familiar I could relate and was easily able to put myself into Nora’s shoes. The gorgeous presence of Nathan Brown (played by Robbie Amell), was just icing on the cake. Blige song “Family Affair” playing as Nora got off a crowded New York City subway train to get to her call center job that made me stay. For two days, my phone was down, and my attention was fully on the life of Nora Antony, played by Andy Allo, an Angel at Horizen, who helps privileged dead people adjust to their new lives in a digital heaven. It’s about the afterlife, the future, and seemed to be a little disturbing while also romanticly comedic, so it fit right within my taste. On a quest to fill my stay-at-home time with something good to watch, I chose a show called Upload on Amazon Prime.
