Jesse Andrews:
How involved were you in making sure the actors' portrayals of your characters were authentic to the source material?
Jesse Andrews
i was very involved in the whole movie-making process—BUT it was as much about giving the actors and everyone else room to interpret the material, and contribute as artists, as it was about fidelity to the book. the book is the book and i'm proud of it—but what i'm proudest of in the movie is that i was able to make room and get out of the way and let some incredibly gifted and generous artists add themselves as fully as they could.
