The director not only went above and beyond to create a story with two complex characters, reconfiguring and outlining a dynamic storyline with authentic human portrayals, he also committed himself to the editing and project as whole, so much so, that he in fact facilitated the negotiations of the hit song used for the film ("Skinny Love" by Birdy). Moreover, his unique ability to understand what mattered for the story and the audience, meant that he was constantly pushing the scenes - even during the shoot - to ensure it all had value. His understanding of balance and his abilities with the cast and crew, for a high-pressure fast-moving shoot, were just incredible. Ultimately, the result was delicate and intricate in a way that put the story on a different level.
