Theyre skittish, says the filmmaker of the animals.
They only respond to the laws of chaos and sometimes a raw chicken.
I also was able to experiment with many new things, the challenges of many firsts.

It was a huge challenge, but Im glad to take it on.
How cold did it get?I think it got down to negative thirty Celsius.
So, super cold.
I became temporarily sort of impervious to it.
The actors, though, you may want to ask them for a different story about the cold!
How did the project come about?I believe Macon got his hands on the book through CAA.
He was intrigued by it, found it compelling, and immediately thought of me for the helmer.
Weve got this rapport, weve got this history, and the development process was very easy.
Macon was faithful to the novel.
The novel reads very cinematically.
It has gravity, it has momentum.
It was alluring in the fact that it was not traditional and theres no formula to it.
Have you screened it to audiences?
There [were] audible gasps in the theater.
You see it in their eyes and its pretty fun.
