Jonathan Miles (Justin) & Bjorn Anderson (Michael) - This was them the FIRST day on set (And,no - this was not a scripted thing - this is between takes) - granted ,this donated beautiful Porsche (donated by the Bergerson family) to pretend was theirs for a few hours - I guess this was the crossing the threshold?!
The point being - this was them on DAY ONE - I get questions all the time about their chemistry. They were two prepared, professional and amazingly kind men - they came to set and NEVER gave less than 100% (even on days when they could have justified it) They not only did their part - they held each other up and gave everything they had to one another. It is that magical give and take that make a "couple" believable.
THEY are a huge part of the reason we have the film we have!
TRUE STORY - due to personal reasons I released the man who was going to play Justin originaly, the next day the man who played Michael contacted me to say he was no longer available to be on set the planned final week of shooting. I lost both leading men in 24hours - 3 months before filming was due to begin - I thought, this could be a sign that this movie was not supposed to be made. I was convinced to hold ONE OPEN audition. I met 12 incredible men at the audition - but I KNEW, as soon as Jonathan did his first audition piece (he was actually there to audition for Michael - that's another story : ) that HE WAS JUSTIN! Then Bjorn did Michael's monologue - and again it was instant understanding!
Then they read together - and there was NO MISTAKING this was the pair!
I think back to what the film was going to be VS. what it became because of who was now the core characters -
I still find myself in awe and INCREDIBLY BLESSED BEYOUND MEASURE THAT FATE STEPPED IN!
