Judge of Character

For the long monologue Scott Matthew recites at the end, it was part scripted and part improvised. There were written lines that Matthew used as a guideline, but Matthew put the script down and spoke from his heart, adding his own personal experiences of being rejected due to his autism and his perceived limitations. The speech went on for 6 minutes and after the take was over, both Vacarro, the lead actor, and Hansen, the director, were in tears. Only about 2 minutes of the speech was used in the final cut. Some of the Vacarro's teary eyed reactions were seen on screen.
