Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bateman shot this in real-time with no rehearsals, creating what she calls 'emotional documentary'—each sitter's only direction was to sit with their actual feelings.
The 'Sitter' numbering system deliberately de-centers star power; you won't know which beloved character actor appears when, forcing pure present-moment engagement.
