00:00I heard that you had a fear of cats when creating this film and I heard that you went to a form of cat therapy
00:06So what about that cat therapy helped you overcome your fear and how did you take that into this film?
00:11So by the time I got to making this film
00:13I was over my fear of cats because there was no way for me to play Sam without being over my favorite cat
00:18She has a cat with her the whole time
00:20but
00:22what the cat therapy took was just exposure to the cat and and
00:26Having that exposure with someone who could break down cat behavior to me in a way that made sense and was
00:33Patient enough. I think it was that being patient enough to ask the questions
00:37Here are the answers and gain confidence in the fact that this cat was not gonna scratch me or eat me
00:42And it took some time but by the time I was in
00:47The UK to start filming this movie. I was I had more confidence and by the end of it
00:53I was madly in love with the cats and I got myself one very quickly
00:57I know there's not a lot of dialogue in this film. There's a lot of eye acting is what people are calling it
01:02Oh my god. Do you have any specific choices that you made for your character to kind of make that eye?
01:08Acting to life. Oh, well, you know as human beings were always communicating with more than our words
01:13So for us as actors when we're reading a script, we're always looking for what's happening between the lines
01:18So then you just get rid of the dialogue and all you have is what's between the lines and there's a
01:23Certain kind of liver liberty that comes with that
01:26It's liberating to not have to speak and to explore character in that sort of primal
01:32Immediate way and then when you have a scene partner as great as Joe Quinn to go on the journey with
01:38It's so fruitful because it's spontaneous. It's fresh. It's exciting and it's dangerous. You don't know what's gonna happen in the scene
