As for her Sundance film, Tallulah, the film sees Page as a drifter who kidnaps a newborn because she thinks her own mother, who has a drinking problem, is ill-equipped to take care of the baby. Of the experience filming this story, Page said that it was, “Honestly, it’s one of the most special acting experiences I’ve ever had.”
She continued: “Needless to say, but it presented a new challenge because your first thought is, ‘This baby needs to be OK, it needs to be safe.’ I want the parents to feel OK and acting is a little bit secondary to that. You could never predict what your little co-star is going to do. That forces you to be so, so, so present and so open. I just felt connected to her.”

As for whether or not it made her think about having her own kids, she said that even though she was nervous at first about handling a baby, she said that she and the baby bonded, which put her at ease. That said, Page doesn’t seem like she wants a baby tomorrow.
Aside from her work as an actress, since Ellen Page came out at the Time to Thrive conference in 2014, she has been an advocate for LGBT rights.
In October, she accepted the 2015 Vanguard Award from the Human Rights Campaign. In response, Page said, “When people are [called] brave in regards to playing LGBTQ people, that’s borderline offensive. I’m never going to be considered brave for playing a straight person, and nor should I be.”
Of her moment of coming out, she said she was happier than ever. “You feel excited about life, and motivated and inspired. You want to do more. You want to go on adventures.”
