"She understood that this needed to be an extreme survival experience. And in order to make that believable, you have to convey suffering and pain," the filmmaker said.

"This is a movie about a transformation – about a girl becoming a woman – and you need to really feel the intensity of it."

He also noted the physical challenges brought about by the movie's filming locations, which included "an elaborate labyrinth of caves" that made much of the film's environment quite dark and forced Millie to navigate a different style of acting.

Damsel begins streaming on March 8.
