ACTING STYLE
Although referencing a script, the performance was heavily improvised. Except for very few rare 1 or 3 exceptions, monologues and other commentary pieces were filmed live, always in a single take, often while action was taking place behind 'WATERMAN'.
Directing / acting working style adheres to that of UK's Mike Leigh ('Vera Drake' - Eddie Marsan, Imelda Staunton and Daniel Mays). Steve Martin's 'Bowfinger' also directly inspired the tone and style of 'real people' inserting themselves into real life around them to create a fictional story.
