You know, you've been on sets since you were a kid.
00:02
I was wondering if there was a specific thing
00:06
that you feel like you've gathered
00:07
that you really wanted to bring to this specific set,
00:10
in terms of, also, like, in terms of, like,
00:11
bringing the suspense and tension
00:13
that the actors have to feel.
00:15
Absolutely.
00:16
I mean, I think, learned so many things, I think,
00:20
through my opportunity to sort of observe
00:24
my dad on sets and things like that.
00:26
I think the process of, yeah, creating suspense
00:30
is a very difficult thing and requires,
00:35
yeah, like, a lot of kind of curation, almost,
00:38
and then release to create something
00:40
that feels very naturally scary.
00:42
I mean, I very much operated under the belief
00:44
that sort of it's whatever's outside of the frame
00:47
is always scarier than what's in the frame,
00:49
because it's your imagination running wild.
00:51
So I tried to sort of play with that feeling
00:54
throughout the movie.
00:56
Yeah.
00:57
I mean, I think, yeah, I think it's very, very true.
01:00
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:02
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:03
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:04
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:05
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:06
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:06
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:07
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:08
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:09
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:10
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:11
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:11
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
01:12
I mean, I think it's very, very true.
