Jake Lacy on the heartfelt and emotional impact of adoption drama A Mosquito in the Ear

Jake Lacy sits down with HeyUGuys to discuss his moving new film A Mosquito in the Ear, a heartfelt drama inspired by the true story of an international adoption. Jake talks about what convinced him to join the project, why it was important that the story avoided falling into familiar adoption clichés, and how meeting the real family helped shape his performance. He also reflects on filming entirely in Goa, India, working with first-time director Nikola "Nico" Vukčević, collaborating with an incredible Indian crew, and the emotional relationship at the heart of the film. Along the way he shares behind-the-scenes stories about filming challenging scenes, experiencing India for the first time, surviving the local cuisine, and explains why the film's quieter moments carry some of its biggest emotional impact. Ricky Patel asks the questions.
