director Yoko Okumura and stars Midori Francis and Jolene Purdy about the upcoming thriller. The trio discussed female friendship and implementing consistent tension. Paramount Home Entertainment releases“Two women form an unlikely connection when a depressed gas station clerk Sam, receives a call from Emily, a nearly blind woman who is running from her murderous ex in the woods,” reads the film’s synopsis. “Emily must survive the ordeal with Sam being her eyes from afar using video call.
Midori, like Yoko said, there’s a strength to your character and I love that you weren’t just a damsel in distress. You’re not just helpless, you are whooping some ass in the beginning of the movie. While you need assistance, there’s still a lot of strength to this character. What did you like about Emily being proactive in the script?Yeah, man, it’s funny.
And I do want say, Midori, you looked like a superhero while I was watching you shoot. You absolutely — scaling walls, climbing through bushes and trees — you absolutely looked like a superhero. I just was in awe of your strength. Physically, yes — getting up the wall, but like, just in the elements and just powering through everything and your work ethic and you were just … you’re Superwoman.Oh, thank you.
Like, I’ve actually thought about that. Now, Emily’s more visually impaired than I am, for sure. But that experience of feeling like … when I wake up in the morning, I hate that moment, actually. Because I need my contacts, you know? So what would it be like to live in that space? I actually got to practice a lot. When I got cast in the role, I went out into Central Park without my contacts and just experienced the world in that way. I would do that and just try and take little glimpses of that.
