Cinematic DNA
I think the magic that Truffaut created with the kids in Small Change was pretty amazing. There was such a freedom and an honesty to the kids in that film. They just felt totally alive, and that was the ideal for us. We just tried to create an environment where the kids would have that same sense of freedom, and be able to be their full selves.
