Ruwan is a friend of Geoff’s and I had never met him before shooting began. Now before he showed up to do our all important continuity, Geoff warned me that he hadn’t done it before and was a little nervous so he might need a crash course. This made me nervous. But I soon learned that I had nothing to worry about, we were in good hands.
Ruwan is so nice! He showed up with a friendly smile and gave it everything he had. I was probably a bit loose with the dialogue while we were shooting and if we ever strayed from the script he was right there with notes on who said what and how it was different. For someone who’d never done this before he did a fantastic job.
And of course it didn’t just end with continuity. I don’t even remember all the things we asked him to do throughout the shoot but whatever it was he was up for it. And always with a smile on his face and a joke ready. He was a pleasure to have on set and I certainly hope when we go back to shooting Ruwan joins us again.
