Justin Lerner Talks about “Girlfriend” and Jackson

D – What was the best part of working on the film Girlfriend?

JL – There’s never just one best thing. The best part is getting to write and direct

a feature film. One great part was having the honor of collaborating with so many talented actors, crew members, and friends.

D – What was it like working with Jackson Rathbone?

JL – Jackson is a true professional. He was a pleasure to work with. Not only did

he always hear me out about what I needed from each scene, but he usually would bring three or four extra things to his character that I hadn’t thought about. Most of the time I’d take his suggestions, but even if I didn’t, Jackson took the time to understand why – this shows how much he respected both my vision and the creative process. He’s also a lot of fun to have on set. The day he arrived, there was

a palpable rise in the collective energy and spirit of the cast and crew.

D – Jackson was filming Twilight at the time, how difficult was it to work around his

shooting schedule for that?

JL – Scheduling Jackson’s shooting days was really the only difficulty we had with him. There were days where he would fly in on a red eye flight, land in Boston, put his costume on in the car, arrive on set and, without any sleep, he would shoot a full day for us. His energy was amazing. It was really tiring, mostly for him, but that’s how dedicated he was to our film. Never knowing how long we would have him, we would just shoot, and keep shooting.
