the young actress.
“She was just very striking in
her look and the way that she
carried herself,” he recalled.
“She seems to carry a little bit
of silence in a lot of her performances and it struck me within
the first few minutes of watching that she was the one. In fact
I was a little disappointed in
how beautiful she was because I
didn’t want MacKenzie to be so
beautiful. But it worked out and
the more I got to know Ella over
the course of a year and a half
the more obvious it was that she
was perfect for the part. When
we got to actually filming the
movie and saw the dailies we
knew we had something great.”
Wildlike does a wonderful job
of telling a story about sexual
abuse in a way that is unlike
an after school special on television. It’s a gripping tale in
which the vast miles of Alaska
almost serve as another character MacKenzie is running from.
