It was there as it evolved and was obviously a key part of it. But I remember showing it to Val for the first time. It’s a very clear memory why he came to see parts of the film. So it was a scene that I wanted him to see and of course we were all a little nervous about showing it to him just because we really wanted him to like it. But his response was beautiful. He was so happy and so moved that we all felt really good and maybe we had done well.
