Casting Trina Colon as one of my lead actors is a luxury for an indie filmmaker because she prepares thoroughly. When she's on set, it becomes clear that you don't need fancy camerawork to give your story legs because she's so engaging to watch. All you need is for her to be in focus and let her do her thing. She's the sort of performer that can keep you on schedule when technical issues arrive because she has the uncanny ability to roll through pages of dialogue consistently and brilliantly every time. How can you not love that?
