![]() So between us, this kind of poetry mixed with a kind of coolness of Alice I think is – I really loved working with her, and I really love that dynamic and that kind of merging of two flavors. She sets a scene and it's very clean and clear, and I think I'm a little bit more lyrical. When she writes dialogue or writes a moment in a scene, she manages to really find a truth by kind of turning it around on its head in some ways. I also wanted to talk a little bit about your experience working with Alice because another thing that I read is when you were developing the story together, someone noted, “our different modes of storytelling felt like a really interesting mix.” What were those different modes, and what was it about them that paired well together?īELO: Alice is a really beautiful formal writer. ![]() Some of the greatest real-world heroes are mothers, even without an apocalyptic scenario. So for me, I wanted to talk about what it would be to be a hero in the really true and honest and earthy way. And also I think I knew that this film would have to be completely its own tonally, and it had to talk about the internal world of new motherhood and let the outer world mirror that in some ways, so try and flip it around in some ways. But I wasn't sure whether it was adaptable if I'm honest, and then Alice Birch wrote this beautiful script. MAHALIA BELO: I read the book probably quite soon after my first child. When you read it, what were some of your top priorities, the things that you thought you could bring to the project that maybe no other director out there could have? PERRI NEMIROFF: One of your producers said that when you were approached for the project you read and loved the script, and you were very clear about what you wanted to do with it. Hear it all for yourself straight from Belo in the video interview at the top of this article, or you can read the interview in transcript form below. Belo revisited her collaboration with Birch, emphasized the great value of the trust Comer had in her as an actor's director, explained why she was especially grateful for what Katherine Waterston brought to the production and loads more. Shortly before The End We Start From’s world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, Belo visited the Collider media studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to discuss her experience bringing the concept from page to screen. The trio leaves the city and seeks refuge at his parents’ home in the countryside, but soon after arriving, it becomes clear that it’s going to be quite the challenge to outrun the flood and the resulting social collapse. Right at the same time, Jodie Comer’s character and her partner played by Joel Fry have their first child. Adapted from Megan Hunter’s 2017 novel, the film penned by Alice Birch sees a catastrophic flood devastate London forcing all residents to flee.
