   Yeah, that guy looks familiar. So natural. I kind of remember him from something, but he seems shorter here.

   Yes, my thought was he looked small — tiny — like a miniature or something.

   But maybe that’s part of his amazing acting skill. There’s something about him.

   Also–I love this glimpse into the process.

   Every actor I talked to was amazed at the efficiency and spirit of the crew, and in fact each of them mentioned wanting to use them for their projects.

   That’s so good. The sign of a perfectly selected team. I don’t think a lot of people realize how rare it is for someone to be able to choose the right people and plan the process so well as to create that kind of environment. Amanda Mae is remarkable.

   She and her producers put a lot of effort into that. And this crew is committed to each other.

   The young fellow has a kind of — what do they call it? — a kind of brooding intensity. That’s it. A kind of brooding intensity.

   He’s kind of one note. And apparently shrinking.

    He’s small but cute.

    Yay, Amanda! Hello, Deron!

    He was in the script as Standing Man. The role eventually went to Bauman after months of selective auditions were held, and re-titled as “Eunice”. A celebration of Special-Ness.

    Standing Man is a more dignified role than Diminutive Man.

    I keep trying to explain to people how I got 40 skilled people to work for free, because it seems to blow everyone’s mind. I think “well, I worked for free for all of them and with all of them.” At some point the goal is to give everyone else work. That’s why we all are staying together and working our best for each other. That’s the only reason to go to film school, to give yourself the infrastructure. You’re not gonna learn a damn thing in film school, but you will meet people that you want to honor and support and everyone I spoke to on set so quietly laughed and told me they saw me completely in the script, through and through, mentioning particular lines and so on. To know, and to be known.

    Wanna make them all rich, and make good things forever.

    I’ve had tastes of such camaraderie, Amae, curating exhibits and such with people who get it. It’s a great thing.

    Here’s to lots of it and lots of it.

    So magic. Does it seems like a dream, Amae?
