“A month into the 2020 pandemic, Taylor and I were spending hours on FaceTime with our producing partners and now housemates Jazlyn and Chris,” says Sivert. “With nothing but time on our hands, we decided to make a movie. The story started as a mother and daughter finding their way back to each other and ended up becoming an origin story of the superhero we all needed.” Jazlyn’s family offered their cabin as the primary location, and Jazlyn herself learned to throw axes for the role. “She began practicing a couple months before principal photography,” says Sivert. “In the film she is actually throwing the axe AND hitting the target. We are all still afraid of her to this day. The trick is to run away in a zig-zag formation.”
