我们在一天内拍了一部电影:我们在不到24小时的时间里,行程467英里,到达20个地点,有18名演员。这位女主角没有得到剧本、故事情节,甚至没有她的角色名字。她在酒店房间里“醒来”,没有任何记忆,她唯一的目标是弄清楚自己是谁。我们和17名演员一起排练了3天,直到拍摄日。其他演员也没有剧本,我们永远不知道香农会说什么,也不知道她会有什么反应。其他行动者只能出于目标和动机而工作。我们蒙上Shannon Lucio的眼睛,让她穿上衣服,不允许她看到自己的头发和化妆品。我们把她送到了一个她不认识的城市达拉斯,她不得不“选择自己的冒险”。香农没有第二次拍摄,也没有排练。她所经历的一切,她所看到的一切,以及她做出的每一个决定,都是第一次发生。这是我做过的最难的事情,但也是最令人惊叹的事情。
