How AlexaDemie helped create one of the most emotional scenes in 'Waves'
A24's latest film Waves, an emotional, all-encompassing coming-of-age film, will, for lack of a better term, fuck you up. Truly, there's no way around it. From the music-blaring opening scene of two teens in love speeding down a Florida highway to its gut-wrenching conclusion some 135 minutes later, the film is start-to-finish a heart-pounding, tear-jerking experience that will, yep, fuck you up. Even its stars have to admit that.
Not that she'd have the time to properly enjoy one now; to put it lightly, it's been a busy few years for the 24-year-old. Demie filmed Waves in the period between shooting the pilot for Euphoria, on which she plays breakout fan-favorite Maddy Perez, and working on the series' full first season. "The producer of Euphoria was the producer on Waves," she explains."He saw me on the pilot, saw something, and asked me to audition. Shortly after, I was in Florida.
Just as the script was handled in a unique manner, so was Shults' directing style. Take that epic opening shot, for example: a 360 long shot of Demie and Harrison Jr. driving in a car, singing along to music, their heads hanging out the window."We did it a couple of times, and it just felt like we were driving," Demie says."Trey was following behind us, and there was a camera attached to our car that he was operating.
For anyone who spends more than five minutes with Demie, it's apparent that she is more of an Alexis."I'm not very submissive," she confirms."In some ways, I feel like I should be a little softer. I've had to grow up with a lot of strength and resilience, and that's just how I've had to be with everything in my life."
