Creation and Usage Notes

One of my strongest memories working on Bright is of Brad William Henke saying the phrase "jaf örq" over and over again. I worked with him a lot on his Bodzvokhan lines, and he really improved. This scene was shot in the studio (which I loved, because it wasn't outside in the cold, and I always had a chair), and I remember it quite vividly. I know I've said it elsewhere, but I loved working on this movie. Everyone loved working on it. It was tremendous fun.
