Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson are the stars of "Nickel Boys," RaMell Ross' bold and brilliant adaptation of Colson Whitehead's novel that tells the story, cinematically, almost entirely in a first-person POV-style. Herisse and Wilson talk about the challenge of acting to the camera, their saga of navigating auditions, the "freedom" and "openness" they both felt from Ross, how the trust they built with the crew played a big part in performing in this process, and much more. "Nickel Boys" opens in select theaters on December 14th.
