Ive been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid.

I cant deny that.

I was the smallest of all my friends, and I went crazy playingStar Wars.

He wanted to create something that was close to being almost like a documentary in its tone.

Luna recalled, I want them to improvise, to take over the characters, the dynamics between them.

Id love to feel like Im watching something likeY Tu Mama Tambien, he told us.
