“When Kyle walked in the door to audition, it was like his power was by now there as Mark,” adds Kathryn. “Kyle was the excellent person to create that harmony and chemistry in between Mark and Margaret, which is definitely what the tale is grounded in. On my to start with meeting with Ian (Samuels, director) I said, ‘if people today really don’t think these two children are in really like, there is no true film. Kyle is an astounding dancer and this motion picture moves like a dance. I wished an actor who was going to be able to practically have me, to go via this film in a distinct way instead than just performing reverse me.”

The opening sequence where Kyle goes through the working day, generally one step in advance, simply just for the reason that he has performed it so many times, Kathryn explained essential a large amount of physicality. “I do not assume anyone else could have finished it.
