Career and Net Worth

Thomasin's most famous role in her young career was in Leave No Trace. The film is about an Iraq war veteran played by Ben Foster and his little girl who lives off the grid in a huge state park in Oregon. McKenzie was just seventeen and still in school when the taping started in Oregon. The thirty-day shoot included an extreme training camp. They had a fourteen-day practice period in which they invested a ton of energy with survivalists in the Oregon timberland. They had classes on figuring out how to make fires, figuring out how to stroll through the woodland, going obscure and not upsetting nature, not upsetting the plants and nature. While McKenzie procured a lot of genuine aptitudes in pre-production, she increased significantly more information on set working intimately with the instructors.

Leave No Trace got praise applause, and the obscure actor certainly surpassed the high desires set for her. McKenzie's heartfelt and sincere performance was named for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female and she won the renowned National Board of Review Award for Breakthrough Performance.

Thomasin's longing to recount significant stories drove her to a film called Jojo Rabbit, which won the People's Choice Award in the wake of debuting at the Toronto Film Festival. Directed by New Zealander Taika Waititi, the movie is set during World War II and conveys his trademark comical inclination, yet interlaced with genuine issues of isolation and visually impaired patriotism. The film is an account of a little youngster, Jojo, and his fanciful companion Hitler played by Waititi himself. The film investigates Jojo's relationship with McKenzie's character, a Jewish adolescent whom he finds is being covered up in his storage room by his mom, played by Scarlett Johansson.

In January 2020, it was announced that the film, Jojo Rabbit was added to the Oscar nominations list for the Best Picture category. Thomasin has a leading role in the film as Elsa.
