DEADLINE: You’ve described working with Zack as being of a different kind of experience for the other actors because he’s really living the scenes and his performance is extremely present.: I think it brought a spontaneity and a realness to all the scenes. Every actor responds well to different things, and it was our job to create a space where Zack could do really well, and Shia could do really well, and Dakota could do really well. And all of them needed slightly different things.
We had so many people there that day. There was Tyler and I in our journey going from guys that had made a short film to somehow convincing these really wonderful producers to help us out, to then being on set. We had Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson, John Hawkes, Thomas Haden Church, two wrestling legends and our friend Zack who just wanted to be a movie star. And these local wrestlers from Macon, Georgia that actually do backyard wrestling. Then we were shooting it like an opera in slow motion.
