On paper that meant splitting up the “film by” credit, sharing it with the full cast and crew. In practice that meant breaking down certain divisions between pre-production, production and release, working together with the film’s leads as much today as over the past few years, essentially making the finished film a sort of byproduct of a larger – and ever ongoing – journey.

If we didn’t screw it up, and we got a movie, I would expect that a similar level of attention would come to these guys. For them to want to go forward, they did it for this moment.”
Both before and after each shoot, the team would take their time in group therapy sessions to prepare the reenacted scene and then process it after the fact. But when the leads got into costume and the camera started to roll, it was a different story.
