My character had been in the chair for seven years. He had gone through his anger, depression, drug and alcohol abuse. He had gone through everything, now he was up, he was happy, he was filled with his dream.
It would be like the films I`ve seen where wardens would decide to be in a jail cell for a week, to get a sense of what it would be like to be a prisoner.
It turned out to be exactly that, but more challenging emotionally. I looked at it in a more physical way, having to act in a chair and move around. But it really was more emotionally challenging.
I wanted to make a movie, because the whole life of the movies appealed to me. You work hard for three or four months, then you don`t work at all for a couple of months.
