On this episode of “Notes on a Scene,” star of ‘The Photograph’ Issa Rae and writer-director Stella Meghie take us through Mae (Issa Rae) and Michael’s (Lakeith Stanfield) first date. To craft such an intimate scene, Stella explains the importance of Issa’s ad-libbed lines, the chemistry felt through their flirtatious banter, and how they set a strong romantic tone that carried through the rest of the film.

‘The Photograph’ is in theaters everywhere on Valentine’s Day!
