“Ang una naming ginagawa bago pumalaot sa pagbuo ng film ay ang mag-usap ng masinsinan kung ano ang gusto naming sabihin sa pelikula at kung paano namin sasabihin ito! Malimit malalim ang paguusap, may pagtatalo, may kaunting taasan ng boses at sa huli sasabihin niyang ikaw na ang bahala direk, naniniwala naman ako sa iyo. Ganoon ang respeto ni ate Guy,” Lamangan said.
