The magic of cinema can immerse us in a world where fantasy becomes a reality. However, we often forget that behind our favorite scenes is a great team’s effort. Apparently, after all, a working day during the shooting of a film is not so different than a day in any other job.

Acting and production goes hand in hand, without great acting to convey the emotions in each moment of the film, it would be a flop. Production has everything in place for the actors to be able to perform their roles effectively. You can't have one without the other for a successful film. Without production working well, the actors would be waiting unnecessarily and the film would go over budget. Without great actors to be ready on cue, know their trade, and perform as we love to see them, with the special qualities that each individual brings, we wouldn't pay money to see the films.
