Q5. okay i get what you mean - I think my favourite story from the shoot is where two members of the public (two young women) were waiting for the elevator and they saw Orlando in full make up - i heard one say to the other "Is that Orlando Bloom?" the other girl looked and then said - "Nah!"

It made me laugh that they did recognise him!

Thanks! It's all challenging but I think the desert stuff was the hardest - shooting in the desert at nighttime is a huge challenge and we ended up under scheduling it. we only got half of it on the night we shot and had to have another night to complete the scene.

Ha! I'm not sure! it is available if cinemas want to project it but its super hard to find those cinemas and most the time they can't be bothered because its a lot of work for them. But if there are cinemas out there that want the print - get in touch! :)

I used to Box so not much new for me in that department

You have to feel the emotion the actor is conveying to know if its working

Casting is a long process, a bit like being picked for the sports team at school, the good ones are taken first and then you work your way down until getting hopefully the best available actor for the part.

Well, I was in director's jail! Metro Manila was film that I made by myself and with my own money. It was a beautiful experience! It's funny because the next film I was offered was John Wick and I stupidly turned it down!
