The iPhone always has a different look from model to model – ‘Tangerine’ is quite smooth, but that was the 5s.

I like hearing from everybody and not just my co-screenwriters or producers. For example, while on set, I find it valuable to turn to my PA and ask, ‘What do you think? Is this scene working? Do you like what you see? You got any ideas for that line there because that idea isn’t working for me.’ Sean Baker Read Quote

Route 192 is its own thing, and you can’t find that anywhere else. The colors and shapes of the buildings, the way that all the small businesses in a way feed off of the parks and sort of rip off the themes of Disney – you’re not going to find that anywhere else. Sean Baker Read Quote
