Wilde recalls the first time she saw the young actor wearing the relevant prosthetics as “pretty jarring.
I was like, holy s—!

Yeah, the prosthetics were amazing, that team was incredible and some of it was quite confronting.”
“But practical effects just add to the realism of it.”
“It was honestly the most surreal experience of my life,” says Wilde of attending the festival.
“But there’s so many original projects that we’re wanting to bring to the world.
It’s a unique one I’m curious to see if we can get it picked up.”
Let’s hope someone lends them ahandwith that.
