00:00I heard this is your first major feature film, right?

00:02This is, you're correct, yes.

00:04What was it like being on set and working on this movie?

00:07Oh, it was...

00:09I mean, I would look back at pictures on my phone that I took while I was on set

00:15and I would go, I cannot believe that that actually happened.

00:19I think I'm still processing it,

00:21even though it's been, I think, over a year now that I've stepped off set,

00:26but it was incredible, you know, the big sets

00:30and getting to work with such an incredible cast and crew,

00:34getting to work with Fede.

00:36I really loved Don't Breathe right before getting this role.

00:42Someone introduced me to it and I was like, this is incredible.

00:45And then a year later, I was on set with him.

00:48I was like, wow, this is a dream come true.

00:52How would you say this movie compares to the other alien films we've seen before?

00:56Well, you know, this one features, I think for the first time, a really young cast.

01:02And yeah, I think it's going to be a lot harder to watch

01:06younger people suffer like that.

01:09So I'm really excited for the audience to experience that.

01:12I know you filmed the movie in chronological order.

01:15How did that affect your process as an actor?

01:17Yes, we did.

01:18And props to Fede for really pushing for that

01:21because, you know, as an actor, like,

01:24you have to jump around so much when you're filming for the script.

01:28And getting to film chronologically made the world of differences.

01:32You know, you could really track your character's journey

01:35and the journey of the entire crew that's in the film.

01:40And yeah, it made us bond a lot more.

01:43Finally, how does it feel to be here today at a big Hollywood premiere

01:46and celebrating the movie?

01:47I'm loving it.

01:48This is incredible.

01:49I mean, look at this.

01:50And I love being back together with everybody.

01:53I missed everyone very much.
