“And if you tell a good story, it feels is. A couple looked at this film and said it was the first time that they had ever felt that as they watched something, that they felt as if what they were watching was happening now rather than in the past.

There was a familiarity. And that is what we wanted. We wanted to remove the distance between us.”
