I also noticed that when I did that short-film the director ( first-chair,) the UPM ( unit production manager, ) and the producer were all very kind to me and we got along famously.
For me to get along so well with these guys and my extremely odd quirks ( even my OCD ) I wonder, " were they just kind people and not judgmental or were they Aspies too!?"
Could be any number of things I suppose. Maybe they were just "odd" like me.
