thought, ‘ya know… what ever I’ll just do it,’ and I realized how vulnerable I felt just sitting there exposed not to mention I’m getting beaten really hard,’ he laughs, “and I said after the first take I said, ‘alright do one more, but do it again as quickly as possible please.’ And we did one more take and I had to go off into the corner again and just break down. My emotions hadn’t really caught up with my mind until I got in there and was actually doing it so I didn’t realize wholly what I was walking into. But it was definitely a creative climax for me.”
It’s hard for non-actors to imagine putting ourselves in that situation as we always think of the lives of actors as being very cushy and comfy. But as we’ve learned here that’s not always the case. “Ya know, when they made the Blair Witch Project the director said to them, ‘your safety is my concern, but your comfort is not.’ And I agree, you make sure everyone feels that they’re not going to be hurt but they don’t necessarily have to feel comfortable. So we definitely got into places of discomfort.” For Rosario Dawson, long time friend of Director Talia Lugacy it was an easier journey to that place of complete trust and understanding. For Chad, who had just walked into an audition as an actor, that road was a little bit tougher to venture onto. “I didn’t know them at all, so it was definitely walking into a very odd machine that had started long before I came around,’ he says, “It was very fascinating to be a part of that because those girls have sort of a short hand that I eventually became in on, but yeah they are both very courageous, ambitious, lovely people and I think they’ll both continue to do some pretty remarkable things.” Walking into this situation it was automatically necessary for the group to bond on a very real level before any shooting could begin. “We really had to create a bond of trust which I think is the reason why when I felt that I had hurt her I was so scared, because I felt that I had violated that bond of trust that we had to have to go all the places we went, and that was shot fairly early on in the schedule, so I was rally concerned that she wasn’t going to feel comfortable with me after that. That’s the reason I had such a reaction to that because as a professional that’s one line you don’t cross because you have to be able to trust each other.” And trust they did, the group went on under grueling conditions to complete filming and ultimate end up with an amazing film that is honestly unparalleled in modern cinema. But achieving this certainly wasn’t without its toll on the actors themselves. “I feel like we all went to Iraq,’ he says, “and we came back and ... |
