Obviously, Katie Rachel and Christina's relationship is quite fraught as we see throughout the movie.

But, you know, you can feel the real love that there is there between the three of them.

I wondered how did you work with each other and Natasha Leon as well to kind of build that rapport we never met before the show started.

And so the movie started and do many things in the, in the show.

And so, but, but I think we understood that by virtue of the fact that we all signed up for it and it was so clearly laid out on the page what it was.

We knew who we were getting like we knew everybody was gonna show up.

We had three weeks to film it.

We had to be open and vulnerable and prepared.

And I think we all knew that we respect for each other.

We knew that's what was going to happen.

And then we had o of built in about 34 days, something like that of a combination of rehearsals, um camera tests.

And so we had that time to work through facts that are simple that we need to understand about timelines of our past, um, living together, not living together, uh, whose parent died when, um, and, and so there and then also to find a rhythm with one another, um, was a big part of those rehearsals.

And in a way, we got to start learning about one another as people as well and have that time, there wasn't a day shooting that I didn't come back on like, wow, what a gift it was.

They just kept delivering.

I think that they are brilliant.

They were, you know, I knew that they were brilliant but then when you see them coming and giving you everything that they have each day coming so prepared before shooting, just treating the project with such respect.

And then, you know, pretty much every day, I'm asking them to like, uh, to take out their heart, put in their palm and like raise it this angle and that angle and hold it up to the light.

That's what it felt like.

And they were like, yeah, we're, we're up for doing that.
