Making the psychological survival film “The Aviary” was intense.
“And it was a wonderful experience.”
In addition to the intense weather, getting into the emotional mindset of a brainwashed cult member was tough.

Izzo was often as confused as her character as she tried to differentiate between Blair’s reality and hallucinations.
“It’s so heavily layered,” Izzo explained.
“At any given moment, there’s three different storylines happening in our heads.”

But as anyone in the entertainment industry will tell you: The show must go on.
Izzo applied some of the special ointment that they prescribed to her and continued to focus on becoming Blair.
“That was an actual real painful situation that we laughed about the entire shoot,” she said.
“It was wonderful,” Izzo laughed.
“The Aviary” hits theaters on Friday, April 29.
The film is also available on digital and on demand the same day.
