I believe in a relationship between a character and his geographical environment. It is why early on in the process I decided to do a ‘wild casting’ for Meander in the surrounding of the shooting location with children from that area. This way the children were already familiar with the forms, colours and sounds of the river. By working this way I felt I could ensure the authenticity and credibility from this age and from this environment.
