She also discussed the difficult filming conditions and how she and co-star Gardner came together while shooting.
What was that like for you to portray as an actress?
There’s a lot of discipline because she goes through a lot.
It was a lot of mental gymnastics and very exhausting but very rewarding.
What would you say was the biggest challenge overall?
Did you have to do anything specific to prep for the role?
As you said, there’s a lot of stunt work and things like that.
I’ll try that."

We were one of the first shoots back.
I wasn’t lifting weights in quarantine.
I wasn’t stunt training in quarantine.
And like I said, on set, so much of it was on-set learning as we went.
What was it like for you two to work just the two of you for most of the scenes?
We were a unit.
We need to come down for a break."
Would you ever do anything like that in your real life?
Everyone’s holding your hand through it.
I don’t know about [what they do].
Hunter and Becky are going out in the middle of nowhere alone and have hardly any safety.

Yeah, in a lot of ways.
I said, “I think Becky.”
He was like, “Yeah, I think Becky as well.”
I relate to Becky’s anxiety and how much she’s in her head and overthinks things.
What did you feel was the biggest message that you got from the script and in the film?
That’s what I took away, message-wise.
The endurance of the human soul and the will to survive and overcome against all odds was so inspiring.
They won’t quit.
