14. Health and Safety
To ensure our safety, my parents have volunteered to act as a “safety team” by providing extreme supervision, with access to a phone that can dial 911 and a first aid kit. There wasn’t any crazy stunt in the film . In the scene where Mr. Álvarez is holding a knife, me made sure it wasn’t used in an ill manner, and that even one was a safe distance away from it when it wasn’t being used. We will have a first aid kit ready and a member of the safety team watching, should something go wrong.
