Movie Pitchfork
LD: The most challenging part of the shoot was definitely the basement torture scene with Ma and Pa.
We shot it over the span of two full days. To stay true to the scene, I chose to rarely leave that chair.
I think I was tied up and immersed in Ma and Pa’s stench (sorry guys love you) for maybe about 10-12 hours a day.
I remember when we broke for lunch, Brian Raetz (Hunter) and I chose to stay tied up in the basement.
Pitchfork was there too pacing in the background, yelling and hitting the walls.
Brian and I caught a glimpse of each other and just started balling.
Despite the cameras, everyone really committed and it made the scene feel so real.
Ma and Pa were twisted 110% of the time. I thought I would never get out of there.
The horror that took over my body the second day of filming that scene when I walked back down into that basement was an anxiety I’ll never forget.
