Scene One presented a new set of challenges. First, how do you get a person who doesn't speak Spanish to act like someone with a Spanish mother tongue? It's difficult but, as Isaac proved, possible. Isaac acted the role of Julio as a child, for the first scene in the film. Victor acted as the father (before he went to Mexico). This scene was recently added to the script, but it added a lot to the dynamics of the plot. Another challenge was filming the entire outdoor scene after sunset before it became too dark. Fortunately, Ian came to the rescue once again, allowing us to utilize his property for filming the orange trees. In fact, the Fisher family even allowed us to use their home while they were gone—a critical contribution to our filming process. Several cast members traveled over 35 miles to arrive on set that afternoon. Despite a vast array of challenges, the cooperation of our cast and crew members along with the support of Ian’s family enabled us to successfully complete the first scene of our film.
