  • They've been put like eyelash glue on our foreheads to make it look like we're peeling like I think I still have.

  • Like what?

  • On my legs?

  • Oh, yeah, They're doesn't see it.

  • We all kind of get our makeup done at the same time and say We have, like, five minutes to being the trailer and get dressed and it's fun because we're all in the truck and like, Well, like talking and laughing And it's actually really nice time to, like, come alive.

  • We have to go on, said E thes are some of the parts that have been used for the different bits and pieces of the plane are big, pretty beat up.

  • Yeah, girl, don't.

  • It was gonna fall apart.

  • It looks pretty bad.

  • E am extremely brand new to this industry.

  • When I first got this, I was like, I feel so like out of my league.

  • The very busy vibe of Set really put me under a lot of pressure, definitely spending a lot of time with rain, and we've had a lot of Congress having someone that's been in this industry.

  • It's like I couldn't really ask for anyone better that knows them are trailers.

  • We call them campers because they're basically campus with the New Zealand accent.

  • The woman I feel like we all bonded as a cast was the mud scene because of however, they made this fake mud.

  • I was actually really stuck in the mud.

  • Everybody really had to use all of their strength.

  • Thio.

  • Get me out of the pit.

  • Everybody, really, because of how hard it was, was really able to live.

  • In that moment, we were able to show each other all of our acting chops, and I was able to admire everybody, which was really, really cool.

  • There's a there's a bed up there.

  • She's always in it.

  • This spots like my spot waken see, because you're using it right now.

  • There's like a lot of imposter syndrome like Should I actually be doing this?

  • E.

  • I deserve to be here.

  • Yeah, Was that good enough?

  • I had this similar imposter syndrome thing, like being the only New Zealand cast member.

  • It wasn't anything to with production was just like in myself, like felt like disposable in a way which was stressful.

  • But I also think for five months, living in a different city.

  • What a home it's gonna be difficult, but I think I forgot that.

  • It's also really, really fun.

  • Yeah, so much fun.

  • How do I even get a guy like me?

  • Oh, that's easy.

  • You just stop paying attention to them.

  • And then they just, like, appear out of nowhere.

  • So this guy washed up.

  • Is it good for anything?

  • E took this role because like it was a challenge.

  • Rachel.

  • It's this character that is constantly in this aggressive state tunnel vision, always moving forward and determined.

  • And I have that in me when I first came here is very difficult for me to adjust in multiple ways, and you kind of feel like you're fighting and you're finally really hard to be heard when this character has this fight scene where she's fighting her environment herself.

  • Everybody that's around her.

  • I kind of was just trying to tune in and channel that that actually played into my scene on the cliff where she was like yelling at the girls like, Why aren't you fighting to get back home?

  • Don't look at me like you think I've lost my mind like I'm some angry girl losing her son for no reason.

  • Really, life is out there.

  • And I have no clue why I'm the only one funny to get it back constantly be in that state was a challenge for me.

  • But I was just preparing myself to get into that mode and then to find out the complexities of this powerful young black woman.

  • That's really, really dope.

  • This is a prop soon.

  • This is everything that we use touch and play with.

  • Wagon e Need these in my mouth right now.

  • Lord, It's like a miracle.

  • Those were so much better than hot Cheetos.

  • Oh!

  • Oh, my God.

  • I will be back at us.

  • They gave us the spit bucket cause they were like, If you don't want to eat the talkies, you could just spit him out.

  • But I had to, like, shovel them into my mouth for the scene in one of four.

  • And I was, like, about two defects Way we're gonna take you Thio Dawn of Ive headquarters said this is where Gretchen played by the lovely Rachel Gryphus Comes to the O we were singing Raise your glass by pink.

  • That was a rough night when we were out there.

  • That was our first time on a night shoot.

  • They were bats flying around their way was like, Get the scene done.

  • Guys with huge light so you can see every Yeah, Rachel, I'm ready.

  • No, e, It's good, I swear.

  • North.

  • Nice fucking free.

  • Dive in open water.

  • Okay?

  • It's definitely the most challenging project I've done in a lot of ways.

  • Like physically, we've pushed ourselves so hard in hindsight and arrival times like when we were in the ocean was the scene from the pilot.

  • We were rescuing Jeanette layer from the water and just like sprinting in and out of like, waist deep, crazy ocean for like five hours, it was so draining, but like, exhilarating, exhilarating.

  • Whenever we're on the island, there's definitely another character of the weather and just the environment and the speeches, particularly water scenes.

  • I find that I just get out of my head because there's actually an obstacle that you're working against.

  • You just kind of have to give over to whatever that is.

  • No acting necessary.

  • What we're about to show you is the dorm room where we get interrogated later by agents where we are trapped.

  • Each character, it's mainly the same, but like things get moved around a little bit like colors like I don't know, I don't have orange and sometimes this isn't there.

  • I'm pretty sure this they take the walls out.

  • Depending on what angle they want to shoot on.

  • They can move everything around a place to sleep and think about the torture we've been through its emotionally and mentally stressful.

  • But like I really feel like that's going toe.

  • Bring this element toe life that adolescence is a struggle.

  • Thes characters go through some really hard situations, and just trying to tap into that was incredibly challenging.

  • The stuff that don't have to do with her father.

  • Those were the most difficult ones trying to figure out that parental relationship and just hard stuff.

  • There was really no kind of real prep that I had to do right before the scene, because I had such a good connection with Greg, who played my dad.

  • He'd start and I would just bull instantly.

  • There was a scene where I was talking to my dad, having to like, be afraid of a father figure.

  • You get yourself all riled up and then you do the take and I'm like, OK, great, we're gonna do that again, like Okay, so you have to stay in this zone.

  • You can't let it go.

  • You have to hold on to it.

  • I think that I could just go home like take my costume off.

  • Just resume.

  • Life is always, but then it's hard to like sometimes drop it and let it go.

  • Sometimes you just have to, like, push through and like, find a way whether that's physically like whether it's a big physical gesture of like shaking the feeling out of your body, or just like putting a hot towel in your shower something showers, I find, like putting my jewelry back on like the jury that I wear a lot of time, like I never take these rings off.

  • So when I come home at the ritual of putting the rings on, like connecting back with like my life and who I am, hardest scene I had to film was with my mother.

  • When I find her just stepped up and had to clean her up, I felt myself like really feeling it as if it was happening to me, and I could feel myself getting emotional, and that was like the scary part.

  • I cried for a good 10 minutes.

  • I did mine went side straight to my trailer, and I just like I've never liked this too.

  • And I felt so bad.

  • I like.

  • So I shut the door and I was just like, e feel like the hardest scenes that were the most rewarding because they're so challenging and you just accepted that challenge.

  • And when you kill it, it's like, walk away from it Like E looked at myself.

  • I was like, I have that in me.

  • I have that determined, aggressive part of me where he's like, no bull.

  • You know, that conversation with yourself to really you could do it.

  • Okay, I know that I do this, that this is a part of me.

  • Biggest thing that I learned on this job is that, like House in May, it's all within its A within May.

  • It's like the most rewarding feeling like this is like the one time I could be like I did it like I'm proud of myself.

  • What drew me to this was like how powerful these women are, like there on this island, and they're still joking and adapting and finding their power in this really difficult situation and the strength shines through each of these women and things that go on in the female experience, as we're growing up really traumatizing.

  • Honestly, I see a lot of elements in everybody's character of myself.

  • I would really love for the audience to really understand that you're not alone in some certain situation.

  • That's kind of what I want for people that watches, like especially young women.

  • You are so powerful.

  • I didn't like everything that you think and have to say is so important.

  • You should never feel like you can't because of societal pressures on.

  • Then at the end of the day, you come out here and you know you have all sandy and like dirty from the day.

  • And then you just get to like, uh, come back to yourself moments right before we start rolling, when they're still standing up cameras and stuff and one person will start singing, someone else will join in.

  • We have a lot of singing parties, chicken pretensions so high the material is so sensitive and so it's like it's just so nice toe have that comedic way.

  • Don't have to take this so seriously.

  • okay.

  • Like it's all good.

  • This is Ed Wild, director of the Wild with Toilet mover Prop man.

  • Hey, does it usually when we're on set, you know, it's like, very go, go, go.
