What’s the best piece of feedback you’ve ever received?
Interesting, I was just remembering the words of an actor I had hired. for my film Raquel's Legacy back in 2018. He said do not discuss your script with anyone . I worked in Queen of The South season 2 for like 7 episodes as an extra and I noticed how careful they were about informing us that the script and what we filmed was top secret. Later, I learned if you don't accomplish this, people will copy your work or try to take credit. So that was a good feedback, Don't give too much info about your content.
