A Day on the Set

This weekend I spent a day on the set of the new film, "Adam", the story of a young man named Adam who is living with Asperger's and his life & relationship with a young woman named Rose. I have been working with the actor Hugh Dancy on playing the character making sure he is as authentic as possible. I must admit working with him has been tremendous fun & watching him on the set going through rehersals & shooting I know I must have done something right! But I also know that Hugh certainly absorbed everything I was able to offer. More importantly, he really understands that he now has a certain responsibility in playing this character that extends to the larger disability community.
I look forward to spending more time on the set but I am even more excited to see the final product!

Please share more tidbits! This is excellent. I run a Hugh Dancy website and know of the project you're speaking of. If you can spare more, I'd love to hear. Even privately - anna@hughdancy.info
