fantastic! i'm envisioning him having a mentor/mentee relationship turned collaborative friendship with noah. i'm sure will would have been aware of her before they worked together, but noah encouraged will to both come back to film acting and to try working at his own stuff with zoe kazan, which would've led to his part in frances ha and his producing/zoe's producing and writing of ruby sparks. will would of course be ready to be cast by her at any moment.
