I think that scope and visual effects and things, it's not that difficult. I think the thing that is a challenge that I'm focusing a lot on set is to try to make sure that the emotional journeys of the actors, of the characters, are authentic. People are talking to me about intimacy, but I think it's more... Everybody, all the directors are trying to...

to bring the intimacy, the inner world of the characters, their inner journey on screen. But it's about the inner logic, the authenticity of that journey to make sure that it feels like genuine human reactions. And I think that's where the strong emotional impact comes from, when you feel that there's something that feels real, that feels like you can relate to.

It's something that I think that I'm really focusing as I'm writing, when I write or when I read the screenplay or when I participate in the writing process of a screenplay, I try to focus on and with the actors as well to make sure that that journey feels like grounded.
