It was a great evening and we deep dive into:
How Ruth communicated the difference between twin Michael B. Jordan through the costume choice
How Michael chose a new first scene to start the film, to help ease the audience into the story.
How Ruth designed every costume in the surreal montage sequence
Why did Michael decide to cut an entire scene and re-purpose it into a 15-sec adrenaline shot
All that and more in the above panel. I found it incredibly illuminating!
