about.me
Did me a little study of a scene from AFTERSUN.
Film hit quite hard in moments. This here is one of it. I plan to do another one at least. And Frankie Corio and Paul Mescal are absolutely phenomenal in this film.
Shoutout to director Charlotte Wells and cinematographer Gregory Oke.

Had a good class tonight. It's really a win-win when the options are nailing it or learning from mistakes. Sometimes both can happen even in the same night.

When it's really cold and my character is canonically wearing white, and the only white I have is short-sleeved and the only suitable thing to pair with it are leggings - not exactly the warmest thing in the world. Ah, and of course the environment the character is in is hot.

Ya girl's about to FREEZE in dedication to the character/art/craft!

A peek into my process - I just went back to the beginning of the script and read all my character's lines aloud up to and through the actual scene that we'll be doing for class.

Such a sassy character. I won't have to push for that. Also an effortlessly intelligent character - flip a coin on that one. Dedicated to doing the job right although unwanted (though not right away).
