00:00You know, you've been on sets since you were a kid.

00:02I was wondering if there was a specific thing

00:06that you feel like you've gathered

00:07that you really wanted to bring to this specific set,

00:10in terms of, also, like, in terms of, like,

00:11bringing the suspense and tension

00:13that the actors have to feel.

00:15Absolutely.

00:16I mean, I think, learned so many things, I think,

00:20through my opportunity to sort of observe

00:24my dad on sets and things like that.

00:26I think the process of, yeah, creating suspense

00:30is a very difficult thing and requires,

00:35yeah, like, a lot of kind of curation, almost,

00:38and then release to create something

00:40that feels very naturally scary.

00:42I mean, I very much operated under the belief

00:44that sort of it's whatever's outside of the frame

00:47is always scarier than what's in the frame,

00:49because it's your imagination running wild.

00:51So I tried to sort of play with that feeling

00:54throughout the movie.
