Director So Yong Kim talks about Prime Video’s new show Wilderness, about a young woman (Jenna Coleman) intent on killing her cheating husband
In her effort to punish Will for his crimes, Liv inadvertently kills someone early on in the show. The murder sends Liv on a chaotic trajectory where she becomes more and more immersed in a series of lies and cover-ups. Shooting the murder scene was challenging because it takes place in the woods, at night, in heavy rain that was faked for the production and required Coleman to channel a serious bout of rage.
“As a character, she’s making a journey into the wilderness and the storm [to look for Will]. She has to build the momentum and the energy,” says Kim. “It was the very last thing we shot in Vancouver after some 60 days of shooting. So really, she was releasing tension that had been built up over those 60 days. She’s not completely sober — she’s in this blurry metal state — but she intends to kill him.
Although Liv set out with the intention of offing her husband, she is far less calculating than you might assume.Kailey Schwerman/Prime VIdeo “She doesn’t quite have a plan,” Kim explains. “But I think you can look at it like she let it happen. Or she was in charge of making it happen. In the cosmic world of everything, you make one decision and it ricochets into another obstacle, and then she has to make a choice of following path A or path B. So you could say she either created her own situation or she just let things happen to her. It depends on how you view her actions. It depends on who you are.
“You can say in figurative speech, ‘Oh my God, I want to kill that person.’ But then what if that does happen to you?” Kim says. “How would you cope with that? What are the after-effects? What is the emotional damage you’re going to incur by doing that act? The intimacy of that experience being shared with the audience is very important.
