substance is having on your brain, you don't really take the time to unpick it because you're so hurt by it and you're so hurt that it has been chosen over you. And so I think I spent a lot of my life carrying that around with me. But it was, yeah, it was scary. It was scary to hone in on this. It just brought up a lot of pain for me, I suppose.

What was that like? I love to swim in cold water. I've been doing that since I was a kid. So that's like my happy place. That was not a challenge at all. If anything, it was a challenge to pretend that it was freezing cold, like so cold that I just wouldn't get in. Am I a sheep farmer? I am not. And I was not before this experience.

However, since then, I have gotten in touch with every farmer I know in Ireland and Scotland and been like, let me know when lambing season starts, guys, because I'm ready. It was the most insane experience I've ever had on a film and just in life. It's so intense. And we actually shot... the lambing sequence before we started principal photography.

So it was probably about five months prior to us starting the production because lambing season in the Orkney Islands starts in like sort of April time. It's a little bit later than the mainland. And then I was thrown straight onto the Orkney mainland and had my hand up a ewe and was pulling a lamb out. And I did that seven times.

And I was sort of coached by different farmers that I met in Orkney. And they were incredible. But the really interesting and really humbling thing about it was that sheep don't sort of stick to a schedule necessarily. And so we had to bend our shooting schedule to nature. I would get ready at like 4am. We'd go into the shed and we would just wait and the camera would be ready to go.

And sometimes you would go in and there wouldn't be a ewe that would go into labour that day. Other times they would. And as soon as they did, Kyle, our farming consultant, was just like, OK, go get her. Go tackle that you to the ground. And he would coach me through it from off camera. And it was just the most amazing experience.

So that really sort of set the tone for the rest of the movie, I think.
