On an early Zoom call before beginning production on her filmwas asked if she’d consider casting sometime else in the lead role as Ann, an awkward, aloof and unassuming 30-something who drifts between multiple BDSM relationships. One of those asking was the filmmaker, an executive producer on the movie, but Arnow stuck to her guns.
BAKER: The Letterbox’d reviews are amazing because there’s just no filter. They get right to it. I’ve never asked you this, so it’s okay if you don’t want to go there. But the BDSM community. I assume you’re a part of it. I don’t know to what degree.
ARNOW: So far, everyone I’ve heard from who is involved with BDSM or the community in some way has responded really positively. I think there’s also just a non-judgmental-ness in the community which I really appreciate. There’s certain scenes where Elliot, the character who’s into the fuck-pig stuff, asks Anne if she needs aftercare every time. I feel like that character gets interpreted very negatively in certain reviews.
I’m like, “Why am I doing this to this poor filmmaker? I’m supposed to be supportive and yet I’m pushing this just for the sake of commercial value.” You were pretty stone cold. And then you just said, “Guys, no. I’m playing this role,.” And I was like, “Good for her. I’m an asshole for even pushing it. She knows what’s best for this film.”
