He also talks about what makes this so much more than a survival film.
The Big Picture [Editor’s note: The following contains some spoilers for On Fire.]From director/co-writer Nick Lyon, the indie drama On Fire follows a family that suddenly finds their ordinary life threatened by an encroaching wildfire. When Dave Laughlin is forced to escape through the enflamed surrounding countryside with his pregnant wife and their son , they must rely on the guidance of a 911 operator long enough for the fire department to get them to safety.
Collider: Just a few years ago, it would have been scary to imagine finding yourself having an experience like this. Now, this film is scary because we’re too familiar with fires like this. How did this story speak most deeply to you? What was it about this that you most connected with? FACINELLI: I have to give credit to Ron Peter and Nick Lyon for writing the script. All of that was mainly in the script, as far as the journey the characters go on, and I’m sure there was research there. For me, as an actor, there are times when I have to do lots of research and learn a new skill, and some characters are further away from me. With this one, I’m a dad and can use my imagination to understand what it would be like for my family’s lives to be at risk.
FACINELLI: Yeah. There are little moments that always stand out to me when I watch it. There’s a moment when the dad is under all this pressure trying to get his family through, and the son says something, and the dad snaps at him, and the mom calls the dad out on his bad behavior, so the character ends up apologizing to his son for that. We’ve all been in those stressful moments where we’ve snapped at our loved ones, and then had to reset and rethink.
What was it like to figure out the movie magic of it all, when it came to shooting the scenes with fire? What was it like to bring that to life? It sounds like you weren’t expecting to step in as a director on this film. What do you remember about getting that bit of news, that it was something you would need to do? Normally, when you’re directing a project, you have time to prep and visualize and know exactly what it is you want to do, so what was it like to have to do it, in this way?
