David met every actor personally, had them introduce themselves one by one, and then directed them in some of his favorite scenes. It felt like being on a real set — precise adjustments, emotional breakthroughs, and yes… a few tears in the classroom.

We also filmed professional demo reels for the actors, using material from Game of Thrones, The Witches of Eastwick, Time Traveler’s Wife, and more.

The atmosphere was electric. David loved the Norwegian actors, and the students had an absolute blast.
