“At the beginning we watched some interviews, testimonies of people whose faces were blurred, people who were talking about their everyday life. I quickly realized that I didn’t want to go down that path. The most significant part of my preparation was running every morning, like meditation. While running I was asking myself questions to which I had to answer, like why I was making this film, so as to be able to answer the questions journalist and the audience would ask about this film. And this is how I found answers. I also wanted to completely avoid any cliches. It was important to me to do this person justice without betraying him, to understand how he feels so that the audience wouldn’t be afraid of him but rather understand him. And of course it was good to have someone who trusts me. For me the most important thing was the confidence I felt in that situation. I don’t have the technique, I haven’t been to drama school, it’s always about a situation that you work out together (with your director). As long as I have trust I’m willing to do anything and open myself up.”
