When you're studying drama, when you're a young actor, there are simple rules about acting. "Why am I here? What prevents me from leaving? What am I trying to get? How do I hide something?" So when you're making a film like Abel's movie, you want to be thinking about those things all the time. And you wanna be armed with those things, and you hope the other actors you're working with have the same understanding of drama and scene and acting. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I wanna be the smile you put on your face.

Don't that make you wanna fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us

Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you wanna fall in love
