The Lone Survivor
Amidst all this bloody chaos, there was but one person who survived the production unscathed. Kyalo Mativo, a Kenyan native, was a member of the cast who had appeared in a few German films in the past.
Motivo’s role was of a friend who helps the protagonist in cleaning the house before his trip to the airport, which he also helped him with. Unlike Marshall, Mativo knew the cats deeply. He would abandon the set when his scenes weren’t being filmed, and would only return when needed. “Where I come from, we don’t kiss or cuddle wild animals; we respect them, care for them, but we don’t expect them to be gentle caresses.”
