Doing television and series broadens your way of looking at a project. It makes you feel a little bit more involved in the pace and way of shooting. I wouldn’t say it shifted my approach in making films, it was more of adding more experience, knowledge, and perspective in the process. A highlight though: Nadine even made her own analysis of the character before I even gave her the character sheet for Nicole. She made a very detailed and concise study of her character, we got most of it, tweaked a little, and it ended up how you see Nicole in the final cut., in a nutshell, is a story of vengeance. Without revealing any spoilers, how do you think the film turns that very familiar plotline on its head, if at all? at its core is a loving mother’s story.
