expensive, cult-indoctrination setting. The shape of the large triangle table allowed for Jordan to be the head of all the tables with the guests' attention toward her. Pulling it off was a collaborative effort for all departments. Sourcing and modifying the tables, welding together a throne chair for Jordan, dressing the table scape, mushroom dishes, including edible foam in a built cart, the fire pits, background actors, multiple cameras…it was a fun scene to set up. For Jordan's courtyard, location foreman Baha Hallaby and his team replaced the existing doors, installing large French doors with a concrete door surround to allow for an open view into the main space during the hostage scenes. The concrete surround allowed us to add exterior sconces on the columns for the night scenes. The curved- shape wall Paul climbs over to escape was built to a specific height per stunt coordinator Charles Grace Yun, Production Designer Michael Hersey, Art Director Danielle Levesque, Christina Phensy, A J. Cisneros, Assistant Art Directors Alanna Dempewolff-Barrett, Brandon Hake, Set Designers Zirao Zhang, Concept Artist Michael Richey White, Graphic Artist Kellie Jo Tinney, Set Decorator Grisham and designed to match the existing walls of the location with its shape and board form concrete texture. Episode Ten This is the moment when Danny and Amy wake up from their accidental hallucinatory episode, thinking they had died. I'm dressing in pieces of branches to camera and pointing where to pour more fake vomit. It feels earnest, absurd and hilarious all at once. From the start, Sonny talked about the finale as being a kind of exposure therapy for Danny and Amy, facing the truth of each other, facing the truth in themselves. A seismic shift of profound connection. I made special connections on this show. So many deep and ridiculous conversations we shared. So many we continue to share. Grateful to feel exhausted, sun-baked, soot-covered, invigorated. ADG F D E
