Mackenzie Davis on how filming ‘Station Eleven’ helped her process the pandemic. Read on here:
I really loved the vision that Hiro [Murai] and Patrick [Somerville] laid out—this counter-narrative to every apocalyptic story that you’ve read or seen. It wasn’t the dusty, dry, ravaged land being walked aimlessly, but this fertile, fecund reclaiming of the earth. In light of all the “nature is healing” tweets of 2020, it feels dorky. But at the time, pre-pandemic, it was a beautiful concept and is really beautiful in the visual language of the show.
I think in the book, Kirsten is our guide in a lot of ways. She’s the person through whose eyes you see the aftermath of this event—you’re thinking her thoughts. We had to figure out how to take that avatar for the reader and make her into someone that exists. The heartbeat of the book is fully in the show. The tone, the ethos, and earnestness are woven into the DNA of the show and they share that.
I’ve never had the experience of making anything before—which is not a judgment on things before, or after, it’s just a fact—where I’ve been so consistently and inexhaustibly moved by the material. I found the trauma, grief, and embodying and experiencing that a relatively unhindered place to access. It was quite immediate for me. I marveled at it with Patrick.
