After winning several awards for his role in the film, Melton told Digital Spy how "grateful" he was to work with director Todd Haynes as well as Portman and Moore.
"I'm just grateful to be here. I think about those 23 days that we spent filming in Georgia, and it was the greatest of my career. Working with Natalie and Julie, with Todd Haynes. That was the cake, you never really think about anything other than that," he explained.
"There were many challenging moments, but for me, the rooftop scene with Gabriel [Chung], who plays Charlie, I learned a lot that day as an actor to not get in the way of telling my character's story," he added.
