Even if she can’t pinpoint herself in the sequence, Lindsay has fond memories of the four-week shoot that took place at the end of April and early May of 2022. On an elaborate set built in a vacant lot beside the Calgary Film Centre in the city’s industrial southeast, the scene reaches a horrifying, nail-biting climax when hordes of the infected come scurrying out of a pit and attack a group of ruthless “rebels” who had ambushed our heroes in the abandoned and soon fiery cul-de-sac.
She was Jaime King’s stunt double in the Alberta-shot Netflix zombie thriller Black Summer and Kate Beckinsale’s stunt double in Guilty Party. In The Last of Us, she appeared in several scenes. In the first episode, she was the stunt double for a neighbour who has to dodge being hit by a car just as the pandemic first strikes.
