Tell us a funny anecdote or a memorable moment from creating this film.
Our first day of filming was the dumpster scene outside it was Jan 19th which happened to be the coldest day of the year, 30 degrees with the wind chill.

It was just me and Timmy in a car with pages of monologues. I was nervous and excited about learning the lines and making this character come to life.
