Film Red White And Blue

When you're subjected to some of the film's brutality, how did it affect your performance that each segment of the film was shot from a different perspective, and in the case of some of these scenes, specifically someone else's point of view?

Fuller: I don't think anything makes that easier. You know, we shot all of that as if it was happening in real life, so regardless of thinking of it as a film or from what perspective it was, it was just like Erica in that situation. And when it comes to being hog-tied and all of that, it was difficult. After a couple of weeks of crazy shooting, exhaustion and heat, to be hog tied – have you ever been hog tied?

Thankfully no.

Fuller: Neither had I, and I was like, sure, do whatever. Because they honestly had me tied in a different way at first and they thought about it, she could get out – this isn't real. I was like, if we're going to do this, then do it right, so whatever you're going to do, do it! So they did the hog-tie thing and within a minute, your limbs go numb. Ten minutes of it, I started to think, "I'm actually in danger." So [I said], "We really need to stop and break," but the point is that by the end of that night, I really felt like I really went through that. A lot of it was taken out of the film, which I think was good because we didn't need to show too much of it, but we shot a lot of it.
