    Yes, the script mentioned specifically that this boy is an albino. As most people with albinism tend to have light hair, skin and eyes, so in order to make him look convincing, we prepared a hand-punch wig by a very experienced wig maker, she’s in her 70s and probably the last few artisans in our industry with such skill. My original concept was much shorter on the fringe, but when we put it on the actor during the fitting, I changed my mind. The director and I both liked the way he reacted when the fringe was so long and obscured his sight, so he had to constantly lift up his head and it gave so much depth to his character.
