As a filmmaker, I am interested in working with non-actors, where I build on their own life experience, in order to connect them with the imaginary world of a story. In this way, the course with director Scandar Copti was an invaluable opportunity to pick up on a rarely taught technique on how to evoke the right emotional responses for a prewritten script. It considerably expanded my knowledge and confidence in sustaining an hour-long performance with a non-professional cast.
