Beasts of No Nation
“The Sunday after our first week of shooting, we had footage to show all the kids,” the Beasts of No Nation director says. “All the extras and our crew showed up to see what we were doing projected on a big screen. The feeling of them seeing what their work could result in was great. We kept that going through the whole shoot and by the end, it was packed. More and more people were coming to watch it, and there was no place to sit.”
