Kaley Cuoco is best known for playing fun-loving Penny on The Big Bang Theory, so her latest role in new indie drama Burning Bodhi was quite a departure from her usual work.


“It was cool for someone to take a chance on me, to do something other than comedy,” Cuoco told PEOPLE at the movie’s world premiere at the Austin Film Festival in Austin, Texas, on Sunday. “I mean, I auditioned for it, I went through the whole thing to get the job. So I was really proud of myself, and I dove into a whole different world that I am not used to.”


The actress, who announced her split from husband Ryan Sweeting on Sept. 25, added that she was “kind of in a dark place” while filming.


“I only shot for nine days, and I was kind of there the whole time in my head,” Cuoco said. “The town was a little dark, the whole thing, the energy just made you feel that way.”


“We had so little time, so we just tried to get the work done, so I would say this is kind of one of the more serious work experiences I’ve had,” she said.
