According to Variety, Andrew Garfield shared how Chastain and Searchlight Pictures executive David Greenbaum made crucial accommodations during filming.

“What was amazing was that [Searchlight Pictures’ David Greenbaum] and Jessica rearranged the schedule last-minute — put filming on hold [in North Carolina] for a few days so that I could go back [to England] and be with my mom for 10 days,” Garfield revealed.

The co-stars developed a meaningful routine during production, with Garfield describing their Sunday visits to Heritage USA, the Bakkers’ former theme park. “It was a beautiful ritual. Every Sunday, we would go down there,” he shared. These visits became particularly significant as Garfield dealt with his personal loss, noting, “We would have deep conversations because we were both getting to know each other as people. I’m really very grateful for that time with her because it was the time when my mum was really sick and ultimately passed away.”
