And, 406 00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:49,179 I think but I think 407 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:50,940 those 408 00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,600 were and especially the one, I think, the 409 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,779 one particular kind of climax, 410 00:15:58,795 --> 00:16:01,774 in the scene Mhmm. Was a little difficult 411 00:16:01,835 --> 00:16:02,975 just because, 412 00:16:03,514 --> 00:16:05,695 like, me and Anna Marie who plays, 413 00:16:06,315 --> 00:16:09,295 Monica, she's a wonderful actress. Yeah. 414 00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:11,169 She like, 415 00:16:11,710 --> 00:16:13,710 we just had such a great friendship on 416 00:16:13,710 --> 00:16:16,110 set. So it was like like, that felt 417 00:16:16,110 --> 00:16:18,669 like we were both, like, dreading just because 418 00:16:18,669 --> 00:16:20,669 we didn't want to have to get into 419 00:16:20,669 --> 00:16:21,409 an argument. 420 00:16:22,830 --> 00:16:25,065 Right. So that was, I think that was 421 00:16:25,065 --> 00:16:28,105 the maybe tough part. Okay. And I think 422 00:16:28,105 --> 00:16:30,184 also just the the first day of set, 423 00:16:30,184 --> 00:16:32,504 just, you know, the nerves of Yeah. You 424 00:16:32,504 --> 00:16:34,044 know, of of 425 00:16:34,504 --> 00:16:36,365 creating that having that 426 00:16:37,065 --> 00:16:37,565 character 427 00:16:38,024 --> 00:16:38,524 that 428 00:16:39,389 --> 00:16:40,990 and and and portraying that on the first 429 00:16:40,990 --> 00:16:42,550 day, I think, is always challenging just because 430 00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:44,750 of the nerves of first day of shoot 431 00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:45,250 and, 432 00:16:45,710 --> 00:16:48,910 you know, getting that that particular establishing shot. 433 00:16:48,910 --> 00:16:50,870 I think it's also super important to him 434 00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:51,970 who forms the entire 435 00:16:52,384 --> 00:16:54,384 rest of the character in the film.
