'Hit Man' (2024) Acting Class Scene Filmed at Babcock Studios

As a filmmaker and teacher, one of the most challenging concepts to convey to actors is how drastically a movie, TV show, or play can change based on the casting and direction. A drama can turn into a comedy with the right actor swap, and a director's approach can redefine a script entirely.

In Richard Linklater's Hit Man, he steps away from his usual indie style, embracing a more mainstream comedic-thriller. This presented a unique challenge for Jerrod Briggs and Ariadna Trillo: how do they make this material their own?

Jerrod brings his signature quirky energy, stepping out of Glen Powell's shadow, while Ariadna matches his playful rhythm in this comedic tango. To add to the fun, I pushed the tempo, encouraging them to have as much fun as possible.

But the real challenge? We shot this entire scene one night during our On-Camera acting class, and they're performing a performance within a performance, all while navigating the complexity of texting and reading off a phone. It was tough, fun, and a totally fresh take on the material.
