COMMENTS:

I was very influences by the classic French film Le Samurai (1967) directed by Jean Pierre Melville. It’s about a super cool assassin (Alan Delon)  who is a stone cold killer, who just collects his assignments and completes them with business like precision. I wanted to try to recreate that character but also think about what it would take to make this assassin crack. 

I changed the lead to a female because I thought it would be great to cast against type since this was typically a male role and also gave me the opportunity to work with Fiona again. It’s a role that has a lot of emotional expression and range in it. An additional casting pleasure was that I was able to work with Sherry Legge and her daughter Catherine. It was the first time I had ever worked with a child and it was a very rewarding experience.
