What is your favorite memory from set?

Jen: Lunch. And not just the food, but the times Icould sit down randomly at a table and have real, meaningful conversations. I might not have known someone's last name twenty minutes ago, but we unpacked some real stuff in that time! I think the material brought out the realness in people and I love that. Human connection at its best.

Rob: A big thing for me is the empathetic education I received. We all knew this was an opportunity to understand one another and we all wanted to. If I got someone's pronoun wrong, I was mortified, but the grace shown to me was beautiful: I was corrected, I apologized, used the right pronoun, and we moved on. No shame, as long as no harm was intended. It sounds so simple, but I've adapted it to many areas of my life.

From a filmmaking standpoint, the fireworks scene was a highlight. Ihad watched fireworks with my daughter and thought the reflections of explosions in her eyes would make an amazing shot. I took some pictures, and showed them to my D.P., Justin Yaroski, who loved the idea. When we found the Immersion Room in Toronto, an interactive projection facility, I thought we might just be able to pull it off.

In low budget filmmaking, you get used to settling sometimes, or not making "the perfect the enemy of the good", but this was an instance where Justin and his team and Matt and his team at the Immersion Room exceeded my expectations with that shot.
