Daily Dialogue — December 17, 2015

“Lemme tell you something. There ain’t nothin’ out there than can kill fuckin’ Ron Woodruff in thirty days.”

— Dallas Buyers Club (2013), written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack

The Daily Dialogue theme next week: Denial, suggested by Liz Correal.

Trivia: Such were the budgetary constraints on this 25-day shoot, no customary lighting setups were used for the only camera that was hand-held for takes lasting up to 15 minutes. Rehearsals were excluded and, to the relief of the actors, no post-production looping requested.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Confronted with the fact he has HIV, Ron goes straight to denial. It’s only when he hits rock bottom in subsequent scenes and recalls having sex with a women who was a drug addict that he accepts the fact he has contracted the disease.
