Q. Where did you get the idea for “Like Crazy?”
A: It was after last year’s Sundance where I premiered another film, “Douchebag,” and I was looking for another project to start on. I was in a long distance relationship with a girl from Europe and something kept telling to make a movie about our relationship. So I did.
Q. What was the hardest aspect of filming?
A: The hardest part, for sure, was that we only had 22 days to film the entire movie. We spent three weeks in LA then an additional week in London. I think I pulled at least seven all nighters during those days.
Q. How did the cast come together for the movie?
A: We only had a working budget of $250,000 so we essentially tried to make a big scale movie on a micro micro budget. I sent the script to Jennifer and Charlie and they signed on. Then I had a meeting with Anton (who plays the movie’s male lead Jacob) and we clicked immediately so I offered him the role. Felicity was casted only seven days before we started shooting. She sent me a tape of her reading some scenes from the script from London and I thought she did a great job. It was a delight working with her, she made every cut usable.
