will was his wildlife director/writer/producer. will's a super collaborative guy and i've said that he only wanted people he knew he could trust on his directorial debut, so maybe we can figure out a way they knew each other before he was cast. i know will did some "actors on actors" type things with michael shannon in the awards season for paterson and nocturnal animals respectively, so maybe their paths crossed then - or earlier, i'm good with brainstorming for that too.
