Liv Hewson on "Let It Snow," Representation, And Feminism: BUST Interview

Liv Hewson is having their moment. Following their fan-favorite role as Drew Barrymore's daughter in Santa Clarita Diet, Hewson shines in two new films: Let It Snow, out now on Netflix right now, and Bombshell, in theaters this December. Let It Snow follows a group of high school students whose lives, friendships, and relationships are forever altered when a snowstorm hits their small midwestern town on Christmas Eve.

I'm constantly impressed by everyone, I think. A friend pointed out recently that I do this thing whenever we watch films together where I lean forward, with my elbows on my knees, whenever something or someone grabs me. I like to be drawn in. I'm the most impressed by actors who can speak without saying anything; people who are comfortable playing with silence. I think that's really special.

Phenomenal. You love to see it! I hope we get to see it more often. This shoot in particular had a wonderful collaborative energy on set that I found really special. There was a freedom to explore, try things out, suggest ideas. There was a feeling of being trusted, being encouraged to explore as much as possible.

I always want that, in every genre, in every film I see. More LGBT people in media is something I've always wanted very badly. If our film can be a part of encouraging that, nothing would make me happier. Outside of film, you’re involved with several organizations in the LGBTQ+ community, one of which is Wear it Purple, an Australian-based organization for which you’re an ambassador. Can you tell me a bit about why Wear it Purple spoke to you?

For me, it's about sitting myself down and asking myself what I'm doing, physically, logistically, to take care of the people in front of me. Talking to people, caring for them, connecting them to help if needed, making myself available when I can. Asking for help if I need it. Recommending books, helping a friend find the right therapist, cooking for people. Telling someone when they do something harmful and making sure they understand why. Listening when I get told the same thing.
