He hung out with this guy.  The dog whisperer guy.  And the boy who plays the dog&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><b>Correspondent:<\/b> Tudor [Rapiteanu]?<\/p>\n<p><b>Schrader:<\/b> Tudor.  He spent a fair amount of time with dogs.  And the dog in the film, Sam, he was with us quite a while.  Jeff spent quite a lot of time with Sam.  The two of them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Correspondent:<\/b> Tudor is hiding under the blanket.  At least, that is what we are led to believe.  I don&#8217;t think that he hid under the blanket the entire time.  Or did he?  Was there at any point somebody else?  Did he have a dog double?  Was there a Tudor double?  Was there an actual dog there?  <\/p>\n<p><b>Schrader:<\/b> Oh, no, no.  That&#8217;s always Tudor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Correspondent:<\/b> Really?<\/p>\n<p><b>Schrader:<\/b> Yeah.  He&#8217;s a rather exceptional kid.  He was twelve at the time.  Smart as a whip.  He had just placed fourth in the Romanian Academic Olympics.  But he was totally into that whole dog.  He would play a dog even when we weren&#8217;t shooting.  <\/p>\n<p><b>Correspondent:<\/b> And the actors were perfectly okay and happy?  They felt fairly safe being dogs like this?  Because you&#8217;re working on all fours.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve done that for longer than an hour, I suppose, in my life.  And so I&#8217;m wondering, what did you do to ensure that their performances would be safe?  To perform and have this, I guess, canine verisimilitude.<\/p>\n<p><b>Schrader:<\/b> Well, you have to sort of watch out for their knees.  You can hurt your knees trying to go around down on all fours.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9746\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-669-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edrants.com\/_mp3\/segundo255.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edrants.com\/_mp3\/segundo255.mp3\">http:\/\/www.edrants.com\/_mp3\/segundo255.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\">Listen: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edrants.com\/_mp3\/segundo255.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('http:\/\/www.edrants.com\/segundo\/?powerpress_pinw=669-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edrants.com\/_mp3\/segundo255.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"segundo255.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Running Time: 25:26 &#8212; 23.3MB)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Schrader is a filmmaker who is most recently the director of Adam Resurrected.
