Cast (implementation)

         After all the preperation leading up to today, we finally saw our cast interact while in character. As I was planning for my swede, I knew that Liam and Mr. Ardilla would have a good dynamic because their charcter roles mirror their actual student-teahcer relationship. While we were filming today, I really saw that intensity in Mr. Ardilla that Damien Chazelle saw in J.K. Simmons. The way he delivered his lines and how he held himself proved that he was the right choice.

        When it came to Liam's role as Andrew, his acting was on par with Miles Teller's. The timid responces combined with the fearful emotions really brought this film to life. In addition to this, Liam's drumming skills were exactly what my crew and I were hopeing for. In my recent planning post, I discussed how Liam was a good fit because he's a great drummer- lets just say these expectations were delivered. While filming, Liam seemlessly played the drums while delivering emotion truly taking this swede one step further.
