"The most beautiful challenge of the entire short film was the very first shot.
We were filming in a public area where you’re not actually allowed to shoot, and we didn’t have any permits. On top of that, we had a full art direction setup in place.
Just as we were ready to roll, a woman who worked at the location came over and intentionally stood right in front of the camera so we couldn’t film. Honestly, it was a pretty smart move on her part.
Then, out of nowhere, an older tourist approached us. He loved what we were doing and immediately noticed the situation. He stepped in and said, “Hey boys, can I take a picture with you guys? It looks so cool with me in it.” Caio Silva, director
