How did he get the tear drop going? By applying a bit of onion juice, Vics Vaporub, tea-tree oil, or glycerine to his eye corner? Actors always touch their eye before the first tear. I hope he’s not crying because he skipped his meds.
That's what sucks about low budget student films. Didn't use any of that. Just had my "husband" yell his lines at me and I was really in tears and apologizing by the end of the shoot.
