Aiden hadn't seen Harley in a long time but he knew that he was working extremely hard on his craft, especially because now he was getting more and more roles.
No matter how small or lacking they seem, they were still roles.
Like how only rich people could say 'Money doesn't matter', only established actors could stay without active work. For people like Harley, they need to take whatever comes in their way.
Quality was the best for him right now and maybe because of that, he wasn't really confident that Aiden would like the movie when it began.
The movie was about a chef who was getting out of a toxic marriage and trying to juggle between her career and personal life. While doing that, she meets the male lead who tells her to use her adversity as a way to change things and start his own restaurant.
The long haired guy was playing the male lead. Harley was actually playing the role of her abusive husband.
