00:13that he actually wrote the screenplay for Pugh during the pandemic while the two were living

00:17together. I was thinking about all those things and it was the pandemic and it was time to write

00:22something and my own experience with with grief is what kind of bubbled up and that's what I wanted

00:28to write about it was just kind of there in front of me and it seemed like the logical thing. Pugh

00:32said it's no secret that she gravitates towards intense roles and has never picked a role unless

00:36she was scared of it. It's about studying it properly and making sure that you're not going

00:40to upset anyone that you take it seriously that you're making it for the right reasons and that

00:44is exactly what we did. Braff doubled down on Pugh's acting abilities saying quote it's like
