And so these charcoal drawings became a kind of obsession in,

And in no small part kind of inspired by the character in Close Encounters, you know, someone who uses art to understand their minds in some ways.

And so I did a lot of that and I put them up on the wall.

And then I think I invited Eve Hewson over for...

uh for dinner to meet her and to chat about the film and she walked in and she looked so mortified by this quite alarming wall with which had straight it looked like a like a crime scene and so we i sort of very quickly took that down so it is in a scrapbook but it wasn't supposed to be a scrapbook it was supposed to be a kind of like crime scene wall yes but yeah it exists i mean they sort of live and die um with the film

I've been telling the story, but I feel bad telling it because in some ways it plays out.

It was the perfect... It was one of the greatest notes I've ever received.

And I feel bad it being an accident because it makes Stephen sound like...

you know, the greatest note I ever received was by accident.

He also gave fantastic notes on purpose.

So I'll just preface it with that.

You know, Stephen and I would have these conversations

every day really, um, about the scene where, you know, in front of us, but also looking ahead in the schedule and going, okay, we've got this moment coming up.

Like, let's talk about that.

Let's try and analyze that.

And Stephen makes himself so available for those conversations, which is tremendous and really helpful.

Um,

And so there was a scene coming up, you know, in I think it was like in two weeks time.

We were away and we were texting and I was looking at the scene, which is essentially Daniel Kellner being vulnerable in a way that we hadn't we haven't seen up until this point in the movie.

Um, and my question to Steven was like, how vulnerable do we go?
