She knew perfectly well that I hadn’t fully recovered from my leg injury, yet she proposed a live showdown, clearly aiming to gain the upper hand from the start.

The director reached out to discuss the contract and stage setup. He was professional, genuine, and clearly passionate about his craft. After a few meetings, we developed a good rapport.
