I Want You

In the original script there was a character called 'Japanese Femme Fatale' whose wardrobe consisted of a nurse's outfit. Introducing this character turned out to be the first of many obstacles which the crew would encounter throughout a film shoot which proved to be quite an adventure. Already on the first day they wasted the whole morning waiting around for the Japanese actress who ended up calling to inform the crew that she wasn't going to make it. In the space of time they were made to wait, the chance to shoot a total of two scenes was lost (without any possibility of shooting them at a later date) not to mention the loss of a key character from screenplay. While still willing to go forward with the story -and hence the shoot- the director Sergi Rubió changed the script mentally, without going into detail, and asking for the crew to simply trust him: amongst other last minute improvisations Rubió filled in for the Japanese actress by changing the character from nurse to some type of spiritual guru, 'manager' of sorts to the Angel of Death played by Ellie Foumbi, an actress who was to become Sergi Rubió's right-hand in the context of all the short films he was to complete in New York City; neither late nor absent to any of his film shoots and ever present in his dreams.

When Sam stops Molly in the street, there is first one shot of him without glasses and then in the counter shot we see him wearing glasses.

In the original credits we start off in a conventional manner: white lettering on a dark background until the title of the short film appears. At this point, the dark background slowly fades revealing a night time scene of the protagonist sleeping while the title itself continues to remain invisible somewhat symbolically so as to help introduce the main character as well as establish a dramatic tone from the start.
