I think there is a general unrest or curiosity about what a human future is going to be like, and whether the way we're living is even sustainable.

I think you get to see, through the different cult members, why people are attracted to a group like this. Everyone is there for a different reason and from a different background.

I'd love to do anything that is outside of my comfort zone, that I've never done before. Whenever I think about something that I want to take on, I like it if it makes me a bit nervous, or makes me feel like I don't know exactly that I can pull it off.

Sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical. I'm more interested in the kinds of movies where the science fiction world has a set series of rules and you operate in it because of, maybe, constraints in the budget.
