How rigorously did you stick to the script while shooting?
Andrea Malandra: I'm used to being very practical on set. And therefore I usually follow the screenplay for a 60/70%, the other 30/40% are solutions that I take with the director of photography and the actors depending on the obstacles I encounter in the staging, trying not to distort the sense of the script.
Where there any onset problems During the filming of the film & how did you deal with it?
Andrea Malandra: Usually it's always the first scene I shoot, the most complicated one, because that's what it takes to break the ice between all the people on set.
