Jenna Ortega’s latest movie helped her through a difficult time.
At the premiere of Hurry Up Tomorrow on Tuesday, May 13, in New York City, the actress, 22, tells PEOPLE that she felt “lost” when she began shooting the film, which also stars Abel Tesfaye – better known as The Weeknd – and Barry Keoghan.
“Honestly, it was quite a strange time in my life,” she says. “I felt very lost, so it felt very in tune with the production that we were having.”
Hurry Up Tomorrow features Tesfaye, 35, in his first leading film role and serves as a feature-length companion to his sixth album of the same name. In the psychological thriller, he plays a musician with insomnia as he is “pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence,” per the synopsis.
