been her idea to have a scar from that scene that would play later in the story. However, we would be shooting it in two days from the time we dis- cussed. I ended up using 3rd Degree to create it. It worked out really well and everyone was happy. It was a big part of her armor. There was a constant influx of new cast to be established. There were days when we would have up to 50 actors and stunts coming through the main trailer alone. This was an epic adventure. Some of our memories are hunkering down in Alice's house— waiting for the lightning storms to roll through that would delay shooting for hours. Waiting out rainfall in the La Belle bar with no lights that eventually took the bridge out. The memory of Frank Griffin and his gang in a full gallop through a canyon wash when Jeff Daniels' horse decided to veer right almost unseating him, when the stunt rider beside him plucked him from his horse onto his own saving Jeff from a fall. Of course, that shot was used in the scene. We would do it all over again. We could not have accomplished all that this series was without our team. We are so incred- ibly grateful and fortunate to have had such a hardworking and talented group of artists to implement our design and vision. On a personal note, this is Geordie and my 18th show together. When you find a partner who has your back, who supports you and fin- ishes your sentences, it's a rare find. We clearly have had other experiences and don't always get to work together. But when we can, we do it with each other. It was with so much heart and soul and an incredible amount of work that Godless came out the way it did. We are so grateful this came to us. We feel very fortunate to have been a part of Godless; we like being a part of telling a story and we couldn't be more proud of it. It took a lot of people to make this happen. I couldn't be more grateful for Geordie and Betsy Heimann, and our whole team we put together. You don't do this by yourself, that's for sure. We couldn't have done it without our people. What a journey. We are going to treasure it for a long, long time.• Top two rows: Photos courtesy of Tarra Day
