"I was enticed by the dual perspectives and delving more into that reality because that is how we operate," Wright says. "That is the human condition. You perceive [something] in a different way than I do. We’re all a hero of our own story and of our own perspective, but we could be the villain in someone else’s perspective. That’s what happens with Cherry and Laura. Jealousy turns into a power struggle."

So you had to forfeit certain shots so you could keep others. That was a challenge. You always want more time," says Wright.
