A father and his teen daughter attend a pop concert only to realize they’ve entered the center of a dark and sinister event.

I was 45 when I shot it.

So, I found that to be the toughest physical thing I’ve ever had to do.

Emotionally and psychologically, maybe some of the stuff in this fits into that category.

It wasn’t nice.

But to be able to put it to good use and make this a fun ride was great.

I think thats a really hard challenge.

Those scenes were fun because they were a tightwire.

I love a challenge, but it was definitely daunting.
