Key Quote: “I was just thrilled to get to be a part of Dominic’s work. The first thing I saw of his was the film he did with Samantha Morton [I Am… Kirsty]. That just completely blew me away. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I couldn’t stop feeling it. And so we started talking about an idea. Dominic would go and write a bit, and then he’d share it and we’d talk about it. The next thing we knew, we were on set, improvising this whole movie, and I was having one of the most special and unique experiences I’ve ever had as an actor — if not the most.” – Elliott Page
